WORCK Conference 2 & ELHN Conference 4: Historicising the Concept of Europe in Global History
Sprache des Tagungstitel:
Englisch
Original Kurzfassung:
Over the last three decades, global history has fostered a
number of key contributions to the ongoing rethinking of the temporal
and spatial constructs foundational to historical writing. These
debates have led to a widening of horizons and have opened up new
research agendas, in labour history as well as in social history in
general. Today, it is no longer feasible to write the history of the
world as a history of European expansion. And the history of work
can no longer be framed as the history of supposedly Western
models and their contribution to modernity. Yet, global history has
only rarely confronted the highly unstable historical construct called ?Europe?. Therefore, the conference is dedicated to the need to historicise Europe as a conceptual frame in global history and will discuss social inequalities in Europe ? both in the past and the present.
