A Eurasian Perspective
This project brings together the results of the other subprojects and puts them into the wider context of Eurasian urban experience. As such the project unravels how women’s access to city streets was shaped in the run up to the modern era. It offers a thoroughly interdisciplinary analysis in which the spatial, the material, the visual, and the socio-economic are combined. This project extends the analyses of Edo, Amsterdam through a comparison with the city of Batavia. It draws on printed sources such as travel accounts, contemporary urban histories, legal treatises, as well as maps, drawings, and paintings.
