(in Polish) Methodologies of Global History 1500-SDN-MOGH
In light of history’s spatial turn, a growing number of researchers have viewed their work from a global perspective, breaking out of traditional national and regional tropes. The course explores some of the major themes of global history and the problems that global historians, and their critics, have grappled with over the last few decades. It will investigate the diverse ways in which historians have carried out global history research, including methods of comparison, connection, provincialisation and global microhistory, as well as illustrate how global approaches have shaped the historical study of colonialism, the environment and migration, among many other fields. Throughout the course, challenging questions will be raised of global history, for instance, how well it has dealt with disconnect and to what extent it is a symptom of contemporary globalisation. By the end of the semester, it is hoped that students will have a clearer idea of how their own projects may benefit from the application of global history methodologies.
