This article uses Franciscan history to explore an alternative approach to global history. Following Benjamin Lazier’s observations about ‘Earthrise’, which showed that images of the world have been entangled with intellectual and political discourses, this article explores the Franciscans’ own Earthrise perspective which can be traced in the spiritual and mystical writings produced in the late Middle Ages. The aim of this article is not only to contest the kind of periodisation which has seen the global turn and ‘global era’ as peculiarly ‘modern’, but to suggest that any study of the ‘global’ must incorporate an analysis of the multilayered nature of that concept. It suggests that the global is not so much a scale as an idea, and considers how the hyper-local place of the body can be a site for realising a global vision.

地出

本文使用方济各会历史来探索全球历史的另一种方法。本杰明·拉齐尔 (Benjamin Lazier) 对“地出”(Earthrise) 的观察表明，世界的图像已经与知识和政治话语纠缠在一起，本文探讨了方济各会自己的地出观点，该观点可以追溯到中世纪晚期的精神和神秘著作. 本文的目的不仅是质疑那种将全球转向和“全球时代”视为特别“现代”的分期，而且建议对“全球”的任何研究都必须结合对多层次性质的分析。那个概念。它表明全球与其说是一个尺度，不如说是一个想法，并考虑了身体的超局部位置如何成为实现全球视野的场所。
