ResumenLa historia global es un campo de estudios emergente. En la aproximación al pasado desde esta perspectiva, el giro territorial y la escala de la larga duración son elementos centrales, con lo que ello supone de solapamientos metodológicos y epistemológicos con otras disciplinas, sobre todo con la geografía. Esta perspectiva ofrece abundantes beneficios, pero también se deben considerar los riesgos que supone. A través de ejemplos concretos de obras escritas desde este campo, el artículo discute la vigencia de conceptos como globalización y ecúmene, pero también cuestiones metodológicas como la larga duración y el determinismo geográfico. Se pretende con ello identificar posibilidades, fortalezas y riesgos en la escritura de la historia global.Palabras claveHistoria global, geografía, territorio, larga duración, solapamientos metodológicos.AbstractGlobal history is an emergent field of study today. To apprehend the past from a global perspective, territorial turn and longue durée time scale become pivotal concepts, with the corresponding methodologic and epistemological overlaps with other disciplines, especially geography. Many benefits can be obtained from this perspective, but there are also risks that need to be considered. Through specific examples of works written from this field, this article examines the validity of concepts of globalization and ecumene, and discusses methodologic aspects related to the longue durée and geographic determinism. The ultimate purpose of it is to identify possibilities, strengths and risks in the writing of global history.Key WordsGlobal history, geography, territory, longue durée, methodologic overlaps.

Abstract This article responds to a variety of criticisms of our thesis that the longue durée is returning after a period of retreat, and that this return provides a necessary means to revive the discipline of history as a critical human science. We argue that the longue durée has different meanings in distinct historical traditions and that its importance for non-academic audiences will not be the same as for an academic readership. We also suggest that the longue durée should be combined with other historical time-scales (including those covered by microhistory), and that this combination can help us all to better understand the present in light of the past and then orient ourselves toward the future. In sum, we argue that the revenant longue durée can be one means, among others, to address the widespread “crisis of the humanities” that has been discerned by scholars around the world.

This paper is intended to describe and discuss the major concepts of global history, and to elucidate connections between global history, world history, and globalization. The research reveals that global history is a field of study and a methodology of historical research. These two concepts supplement each other. As a field of study global history is understood in two ways – a form of world history, based on some methodological principles, and a history of globalization. Global history appeared in 1980-1990s as a reaction on globalization, and it was influenced by its different concepts. Debates on globalization impacted world history, its themes and methods of research. Those world historians, who accepted the «global turn», began to practice global history. For the reason, the terms «global history» and «(new) world history» may be used as synonyms. A part of historians understand global history as a history of globalization. However, this definition is disputable because of numerous concepts of globalization and the absence of consensus on the issues. As a methodology global history consolidates different approaches, such as world systems theory, postcolonial history, transnational history, subaltern history, imperial history, and others. They share similar principles that include a rejection of Eurocentrism, an understanding of the past as an integrated unit, interdisciplinary approach, and a focus on connections, interactions and mutual influences that transcend borders (national, cultural, and others). Global history prefers some specific research topics that are trans-national and trans-cultural in nature, because in these cases it has the strongest explanatory power. However, as a methodology it can be applied to different scales of human experience, including events and processes at local, national, and regional levels by studying them from a wider, global perspective.

This concluding chapter summarizes key themes and presents some final thoughts. It argues that while this study takes up the last half-century only marginally, it should be read as an implicit comparison with the present, since reflection on racial and ethnic categories is so much a historical focus of today. In showing that a certain number of attributes of modernity can be traced back through archival evidence, this study tried at once to historicize the categories of today and show the contribution of an approach that, if it takes concepts as the main object of analysis, assumes empiricism as its principle, staying as close as possible to the past meaning of the concepts, when they were clear as well as when they were muddled. It argues in favor of a longue durée approach. It concludes that this history of categories is specifically American.

In recent years, comparative historical analysis (CHA) has become more cognizant of the role time plays in analyzing the past. It has begun to distinguish between clock-like, reversible, and measurable physical time and social, irreversible, and qualitative historical time. This chapter elaborates on this distinction and shows how it has enriched and refined CHA’s temporal vocabulary and defines three distinct strands of CHA: eventful analysis, longue durée, and macrocausal analysis. Each of these strands configures physical and historical time in distinct ways and thereby makes a distinct contribution in understanding and explaining macrohistorical phenomena.

The study of emotions in African history is in its infancy, although it is expanding rapidly as a new frontier in scholarly work on the modern era. Considering the violent tumult experienced by the continent over the past two centuries, it seems apposite to begin to explore the role of emotions in the experience and interpretation of those processes of change, which are ongoing at the time of writing. This paper represents an attempt to contribute to the emerging historiography on emotions history in Africa. It is specifically concerned with the power of melancholy, mourning and memory in the context of war and other forms of violent conflict. The paper seeks to adopt a longue durée perspective, encompassing the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, though the bulk of the source material is located in the colonial and postcolonial periods and this is reflected in the weight of the analysis. The analysis itself is concerned with both individual and collective interpretations of the violent past, but the central focus is an assessment of how states and societies mourn the dead; and how they develop processes and systems of socio-political control and memory based on experiences of profound loss and bitter discontent, as well as of supposed military triumph.
