World Histories

Hughes-Warrington, Marnie

Pages: 1 –17

[Compare any two maps of the world and a host of differences will become apparent. Placenames vary across time and culture, but so too do the geophysical and biological features represented and the determination of a ‘centre’ and a ‘top’. In one map, for instance, a landmass labelled ‘North...

Terms

Mazlish, Bruce

Pages: 18 –43

[In a volume devoted to ‘world histories’, it figures naturally that ‘world history’ will be the central term. Yet to truly situate it in historical discourse, we must place it among other, related terms. Such comparison is essential, above all, because world history implicitly subsumes all other...

Methods and Materials

Manning, Patrick

Pages: 44 –63

[Studies of world history overlap substantially in their content and analysis with studies set at national, local and other levels. World history is more, however, than the accumulation of local and national knowledge, for it addresses patterns at a larger scale that may not be observable or...

Scales

Christian, David

Pages: 64 –89

[The issue of scale is extremely important in historical teaching and research, yet historians have not given it the consideration it deserves.2 The issue has certainly not been discussed as much as other familiar topics such as the problem of ‘objectivity’ or ‘how historians use sources’ or...

Beginnings and Endings

Benjamin, Craig

Pages: 90 –111

[The fundamental question of where to begin and end any piece of historical writing is not confined solely to practitioners of large-scale history.1 All histories are the product of selective judgement, no matter how objectively the historian might approach his or her particular task, and this is...
Available

Shapes

Hughes-Warrington, Marnie

Pages: 112 –134

[At the end of Johan Galtung and Sohail Inayatullah’s edited work Macrohistory and Macrohistorians there is a fascinating collection of pictorial representations of various world historical theories.1 Sima Qian’s and Lovelock’s theories are rendered by the creator of the appendix, Daniela...

Centres and Margins: The Fall of Universal History and the Rise of Multicultural World History

Duchesne, Ricardo

Pages: 135 –167

[The liberal idea that human history could be comprehended as a rational process, having an intelligible order, which could be described in terms of successive stages of cognitive/technical and moral knowledge, commanded wide credence in the West from the Enlightenment onwards until the 1960s....
Available

Modern, Postmodern, World

Lang, Michael

Pages: 168 –188

[In 1918, a decorated Austrian artillery officer called Ludwig Wittgenstein was taken prisoner by the Italian army. During his internment he completed one of the great philosophical works of the twentieth century, his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. The slender volume ranged over a broad array of...
Available

Gender

Zinsser, Judith P.

Pages: 189 –214

[For conventional historians, ‘gender’ has been as revolutionary a concept as ‘world’ history. Both arose out of the radical questions of the 1960s and 1970s, when historians in many parts of the world, both women and men, began to question the traditional narratives. In Europe and the United...

Readers, Responses and Popular Culture

Hughes-Warrington, Marnie

Pages: 215 –237

[World histories are more than typographical marks on paper. They are also more than the property of authors who inscribe and fi x meaning. They are, rather, sites of relation and even contestation among authors, editors, publishers, critics and readers. Traditionally, however, studies of world...
