© New York Public Library, CC0 1.0Duitse geschiedenis was lang vooral nationale geschiedenis die ophield bij de landsgrenzen. In de laatste decennia echter bestuderen historici steeds vaker de grensoverschrijdende geschiedenis om zodoende met een geheel nieuwe blik meer te weten te komen over Duitsers wereldwijd. Tijdens deze conferentie staan de nieuwe perspectieven op de Duitse geschiedenis na de global turn centraal. Wat zijn die perspectieven? Welke methoden kunnen worden gebruikt? Wat zijn de nieuwe onderwerpen en inzichten? We maken de balans op van meer dan honderdvijftig jaar wereldgeschiedenis van Duitsland.
For too long, German history has primarily been discussed within the context of the nation state. Today, it is widely accepted that we cannot talk about Germany’s past by treating it like a sealed ‘container’ anymore. Instead, the global history of Germany increasingly focuses on German activities beyond its borders. Cross-border exchanges of ideas, people and goods within regional and global networks have taken center stage. This conference covers more than hundred fifty years of German global history: from the powerful intensification of globalization of the 19th century to the profound changes of the international order and global economy in the 1990s. In which way are German and global history complementary? What is its relationship to international trends in scholarship? Why are some strands within the field, such as economic and colonial history, more successful than others? And does it matter whether German global history is written in Germany or by historians who live and work abroad?
