Universal History and the Making of the Global (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Bjørnstad, Hall; Régent-Susini, Anne; Jordheim, Helge

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Is it possible to imagine a history that includes everything and everyone? This volume argues that the deep ancestor to modern notions of "globalization" can be found in the writing practice known as universal history - an early modern laboratory of intense and diverse attempts at thinking history and universals together.
