The individual articles approach these spaces from a variety of academic perspectives – including the realms of history, architecture, law and literary and cultural studies – in order to probe the fluid relationships between power, time and space.   The contributors offer discussion and analysis of waiting spaces like ante-chambers, prisons, hospitals, and refugee camps, and also of more elusive spaces such as communities and nation-states.     Contributors: Olaf  Berwald, Elise Brault-Dreux, Richard Hardack, Kerstin Howaldt, Robin Kellermann, Amanda Lagji, Margaret Olin, Helmut Puff, Katrin Röder, Christoph Singer, Cornelia Wächter, Robert Wirth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Illustrations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Christoph Singer, Robert Wirth and Olaf Berwald  1 Waiting in the Antechamber   Helmut Puff  2 Waiting for Railways (1830–1914)   Robin Kellermann  3 Waiting for the Man: Deferring and Spatialising Legal and Narrative Delay   Richard Hardack  4 Dickens, Reade and Galsworthy on Waiting in Solitary Confinement   Cornelia Wächter  5 The Camp as Extra-Temporal Space in E.C.
