ABSTRACT
Every form of communitization or socialization can be understood as a specific social context, defined as a space socially constructed through human action. This also applies to the contemporaries of the Middle Ages and their different sets of human experience and behavior. Thereby, they left material and immaterial traces of interaction, which allow us to study how they tried to create and to understand their world. The chapter presents exemplarily two social spaces – the noble court and the urban commune – by means of an interactive triangle of location, objects and actors, because space is a relational order and collocation of bodies and social goods, generated by the synthesis and placing of these elements.
