| Summary: | The pandemic emptied the offices of the religious studies institutes and also created an increasingly empty space between private workrooms. The already widespread tendency to work solo in (more or less) quiet private workspaces has been increased due to the corona-crisis. In order to escape the one-sidedness of the religious studies knowledge formation, the mapping project created an opportunity to rethink old connections, to create new ones and thus to work on a mapping of the subject and the discipline. This would have been possible before, but obviously was fueled by the everyday presence of dystopia. Against this background, the present article reminds of the fundamental distinction and inevitable simultaneity of map and territory - description and object - which is not only inherent in mapping and knowledge formation in the field of religious studies.
