| Abstract | The Cluster of Excellence 'Understanding Written Artefacts' follows a comparative approach to studying how the production of written artefacts has shaped human societies and cultures, and how these in turn have adapted written artefacts to their needs. This session focuses on cultural borders expressed through diverse written artefacts such as documents, maps, and codices. The papers will investigate how these borders were and are perceived. The goal is also to uncover underlying phenomena of cultural interactions such as artificially imposed divisions and cultural appropriation. |
