Abstract:This essay first explores two contexts that have transformed the way that the international history of the French Revolution has been written over the last thirty years and which have recently provoked so many historians to take a global turn in their research and teaching at the expense of strictly national historiography. First, political relations between France and the Anglo-American world in the 1980s made the older, regnant model of Franco-American sister revolutions, inherited from R. R. Palmer, less plausible; this development sent historians looking for other models that would make the Revolution seem more immediately relevant to students and readers. Second, transformations in the global economy since the 1970s have put globalization on the agenda in a particularly striking manner. These same forces have transformed the economies within academia in ways that have favored teaching and publishing global history. This essay closes with some reflections on the difference between critical and naively enthusiastic approaches to the subject of globalization, and some recommendations on paths for future research on the French Revolution.

法国大革命的全球转向和资本主义的空间修复

摘要：本文首先探讨了过去 30 年来改变了法国大革命国际史写作方式的两种背景，它们最近激发了如此多的历史学家在他们的研究和教学中以牺牲为代价进行全球转向。严格的民族史学。首先，1980 年代法国与英美世界之间的政治关系使得从 RR Palmer 继承的法美姐妹革命的旧式统治模式变得不那么可信；这一发展促使历史学家寻找其他模型，使革命看起来与学生和读者更直接相关。其次，自 1970 年代以来全球经济的转型以特别引人注目的方式将全球化提上了议程。这些相同的力量以有利于教授和出版全球历史的方式改变了学术界的经济。本文最后对全球化主题的批判性方法和天真热情的方法之间的区别进行了一些反思，并就法国大革命的未来研究路径提出了一些建议。
