Seminar
WiSe 19/20: Approaches to Global History
Christoph Kalter
Kommentar
This introductory seminar offers an overview of important approaches and contributions to global history. By discussing writings and research widely drawn upon by global historians, the seminar provides students with a toolkit for understanding and critically assessing the last decades’ turn away from nation-centered ways of seeing history. This global turn has paved the way for histories focusing on the movements of people, goods, and ideas across boundaries. Global history is concerned with understanding how these cross-border movements have determined and shaped historical change at the local, regional, national, transnational, and global level. At the end of the semester, the participants will be familiar with and have developed a personal stance towards these approaches.
