Christine Pappelau is a doctoral fellow at Topoi, focusing on the formation and transformation of space and knowledge in ancient civilizations. Her research delves into historical artifacts and their contexts, particularly examining the Septizonium of Septimius Severus. Through her dissertation and various projects, she explores aspects such as the dismantling, repurposing, and transportation of building materials. Pappelau has contributed to the field through publications, including a chapter in 'Perspektiven der Spolienforschung,' where she analyzes the rational economic processes involved in the spoliation of historical structures. She has also actively presented her research in workshops and conferences, addressing the philosophical and cultural theoretical perspectives on the concept of movement space and digital documentation methods. Pappelau's work is significant in understanding how ancient artifacts were perceived and utilized in different historical contexts, contributing to the broader discourse on heritage and material culture.
