On 4 June 2016, Jurgen Osterhammel of the University of Konstanz and Geoffrey Parker of Ohio State University gave an all-day workshop on global history for graduate students and junior and senior scholars of the Universities of Dundee and St. Andrews in Scotland. The workshop consisted of three discussion sessions, each with a different theme, namely the conceptualization(s), parameters, and possible future(s) of global history. The central question was to what extent this fast-changing field required adjustments of “normal” historiographical methodologies and epistemologies. The workshop participants agreed that global history focuses in particular on connections across large spaces or long timespans, or both. Yet reconstructing these webs of connections should not obscure global inequalities. In the case of empires, many of the exchanges across space and time have been ordered in a hierarchical fashion—metropoles profiting from peripheral spaces, for example—and imposed by certain groups of people on others, resulting in, for example, the enslavement or extermination of indigenous peoples. As historians, we should also ask ourselves what we do about peoples or areas that were or remain unconnected, local, and remote. Where does globalization end?

撰写全球历史及其挑战——与 Jürgen Osterhammel 和 Geoffrey Parker 的研讨会

2016 年 6 月 4 日,康斯坦茨大学的 Jurgen Osterhammel 和俄亥俄州立大学的 Geoffrey Parker 为苏格兰邓迪大学和圣安德鲁斯大学的研究生和初级和高级学者举办了一场关于全球历史的全天研讨会。研讨会由三个讨论环节组成,每个环节都有不同的主题,即全球历史的概念化、参数和可能的未来。核心问题是这个快速变化的领域在多大程度上需要调整“正常”的史学方法论和认识论。研讨会参与者一致认为,全球历史特别关注跨大空间或长时间跨度的联系,或两者兼而有之。然而,重建这些联系网络不应掩盖全球不平等。在帝国的情况下,许多跨空间和时间的交流以等级方式进行排序——例如,大都市从外围空间中获利——并由某些人群强加于其他人群,导致例如对土著人民的奴役或灭绝。作为历史学家,我们还应该问问自己,我们对曾经或仍然没有联系的、本地的和偏远的人民或地区做了什么。全球化的终点在哪里?
