[ Abstract ]
I will survey the ways in which some homotopy-theoretic
methods, manifold calculus of functors main among them, have in recent
years been used for extracting information about the topology of
spaces of knots and links. Cosimplicial spaces and operads will also
be featured. I will end with some recent results about spaces of
homotopy string links and in particular about how one can use functor
calculus in combination with configuration space integrals to extract
information about Milnor invariants.
