The thematic section titled ‘Analytical Concepts for Transcultural Settings’ highlights the role of global intellectual historians as mediators who balance local realities with global narratives. It emphasises how rethinking the crucial role of analytical concepts can help historical actors challenge and transcend conventional categories, urging historians to adapt their analytical frameworks for transcultural settings accordingly.","PeriodicalId":512261,"journal":{"name":"Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography","volume":"7 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141267694","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}

Since it is fair to say that we cannot agree on a definition, why do we institutionalise global history and argue over its pros and cons? This piece lays out and pries open some of the paradoxes that grip academic debates concerning global history today, at least in most of Western Europe and North America. It suggests that one way out of our current predicaments is to downgrade global history from the status of 'methodology' or even 'discipline' (as some have called it) to a perspective that has the potential of raising new questions. Doing so will allow us to focus on how we go about answering those questions, stressing the connections but also the differences between subject-matter and method in historical writing.\u0000Image caption: Giovanni Battista Piranesi, The Staircase with Trophies, from ‘Carceri d’invenzione’ (Imaginary Prisons) (ca. 1749–1750), New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Harris Brisbane Dick Fund, 1938, accession number 37.45.3(24), public domain, via https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/362676\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":512261,"journal":{"name":"Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography","volume":"26 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005632","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}

While historians initially embraced global history as essential for comprehending a globalised world, recent debates have questioned its desirability and feasibility. The author examines the intersection of global history with intellectual history, discussing the establishment of dedicated publications—such as the journal Global Intellectual History—and evaluating the three heuristic approaches proposed in the volume edited by Samuel Moyn and Andrew Sartori in 2013 (universalist interpretations, comparativist perspectives, and investigations into networks and interactions across space). The author highlights challenges such as translatability and the dominance of English-language scholarship. The article concludes with a call for a critical examination of the ‘global’ as a concept, acknowledging the need for reflectivity, collaborative efforts, and a nuanced understanding of historical contexts in shaping the future of global history.\u0000Image Caption: David d’Angers, plaster cast for the bronze bas-relief commissioned by the municipality of Strasbourg for the monument of Gutenberg in Gutenberg Square (1840), Angers, David d’Angers Gallery, inventory no.
