Abstract

Thinking of Latin America as a starting point to understand the articulation of the world in the same spatial and temporal unit is a project so vast and ambitious, that it is enough to discourage the most obstinate of researchers. Although it seems a more fabulous task than possible, closer to the twelve works of Hercules than to the modest possibilities of professional historians, the need to understand the emergence and expansion of a global time that does not privilege a perspective centered on North Atlantic societies is today more relevant than ever. The world is not the same for everyone. Building a global perspective of Latin American history has a double purpose: on the one hand, it is an invitation to think about the historical experience of the subcontinent through connections, exchanges and circulations between this space and the rest of the world. On the other, it is a methodological challenge for Global history, a new disciplinary field that, despite its global vocation, has created epistemological peripheries and reproduced geopolitics of knowledge that only partially includes large areas of the world such as Latin America and Africa.
简介:拉丁美洲在全球的时间
将拉丁美洲作为理解世界在同一空间和时间单位中的衔接的起点,是一个如此庞大和雄心勃勃的项目,足以使最顽固的研究人员气馁。尽管这似乎是一项难以置信的任务,更接近于赫拉克勒斯的十二部作品,而不是专业历史学家的有限可能性,但理解一个全球时代的出现和扩张,而不是以北大西洋社会为中心的视角,在今天比以往任何时候都更有意义。世界对每个人来说都不一样。建立拉丁美洲历史的全球视角有双重目的:一方面,它是一个邀请,通过这个空间与世界其他地方之间的联系、交流和流通来思考次大陆的历史经验。另一方面,它是对全球历史方法论的挑战,这是一个新的学科领域,尽管它具有全球使命,但它创造了认识论的边缘,并再现了知识的地缘政治,其中只部分包括世界上的大片地区,如拉丁美洲和非洲。
