Eschewing grand theories, a more empirical method is applied by investigating the history of modernity as a concept used by historical actors. It thereby seeks to reveal anachronistic readings of it, as well as unearth the global scope of modernity performances. Tracing first West-European and then Ottoman-Turkish modernity translations (modernité, die Moderne, modernity, yeñilik, ʿaṣrīlik), the article shows how marginal this concept was in West-European discourse. The Turkish translations, in contrast, became central in indigenous reform rhetoric; ʿaṣrīlik (1916) even displayed a level of theoretical abstraction that West-European modernity concepts only acquired later. This analysis argues that the global circulation of the historical modernity concept was propelled by its semantic indeterminacy, normativity, and Eurocentrism, and thereby also critique modernity as an analytical concept.","PeriodicalId":512261,"journal":{"name":"Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography","volume":"8 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141267975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focus on mobile individuals who operated in transcultural settings can help us to understand how major turning points in international history become global moments as these moments gain global significance only by virtue of activists seizing them and employing them in the service of their respective causes. A biographical approach gains us insights into how individuals were shaped by these watershed moments and at the same time were productive in them. A microscale analysis offered by biography can elucidate the processes of cross-cultural intellectual transfer and transregional entanglement in all their complexity.","PeriodicalId":512261,"journal":{"name":"Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography","volume":"8 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141266263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It acknowledges the shift towards transnational and global perspectives in queer history, challenging Eurocentric concepts and promoting inclusivity of diverse sexual identities and experiences. Debuting his inquiry and analysis in Germany, Tremblay highlights the methodological inquiries arising from researching sexual entanglements without relying on fixed categories of analysis. He discusses how queer theory's focus on fluidity and ambiguity can aid historians in avoiding rigid concepts, historical norms, and eventually colonial biases. He therefore concludes by emphasising the importance of engaging with fluid concepts such as queerness in writing an open global history critical of Eurocentrism.","PeriodicalId":512261,"journal":{"name":"Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141268494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
