Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will introduce the participants to core texts of the theory of Global History. The selection will include key texts of the Enlightenment, Marxist historical theory and Universal History, up to Postcolonial Theory and the New Global History. Thematically, it will cover embracing conceptions of historiography in their dialectic development, particularly the three steps that led to the current debates on Global History: from the eurocentric views of the colonial period, over the challenges of decolonization, up to the claim of contemporary Global History to avoid the pitfalls of earlier European universalism.
