The New Global History Toward a Narrative for Pangaea Two
نویسنده
چکیده
The author approaches contemporary history from a position that defines the expression “truly global” as earth-centered. On this ground, two kinds of global history can be distinguished: the non-linear geophysical history of first nature, which is alternately uniting and dividing the world-continent (called Pangaea One), and the revolutionary technoscientific history of second nature, which is beginning to defragment the earth with things like the World Wide Web. The new Global History explores contemporary global history in general and the emerging civilizational unity (called Pangaea Two) in particular. The new historiographical approach is introduced via a critical discussion of Globality, Globalization, Periodization, World History, and Methodology.

متن کاملIs there still a “Jerusalem School?” Reflections on the state of Jewish historical scholarship in Israel
This essay examines the study of Jewish history in Israel at the juncture of two currents: the ongoing expansion of an international community of Jewish studies scholars and the waning interest in the field in Israel itself.
