Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

There are a number of more or less distinct "schools" of global history, built on competing concepts of how to do global historiography, and on their implicit or explicit relations with other branches and concepts of writing history. In addition, positioning and status of global history has varied in different periods, countries and traditions of historical writing. This course aims at developing students' knowledge about major "building-blocks" of this universe of global historiography in past and present, and at enabling students to meaningfully relate to one key question: Which type(s) of global historiography do we promote, criticize, or even repudiate for what reasons? In order to achieve these learning goals we will read and critically discuss key texts discussing concepts of global history; foundational "masterpieces" in global/universal/ world history, i.e. (historical and more recent) texts doing global history; and key texts exploring the histories and geographies of writing global history.
