| Abstract | Medieval urban spaces were often unified by city walls, but also subdivided within those enclosures into myriad territories. Individual guilds divided a city's merchants and skilled artisans, designations often reflected in the street names and neighborhoods. Even in the smallest walled communities, clear boundaries existed between different zones of authority. This session addresses the notion of borders within boundaries, subdivisions within unified spaces, and the ways in which those liminal zones could be crossed, transgressed, enforced, rejected, and/or otherwise exploited in corporate contexts. |
