| Summary: | Many periodization schemes have their roots in Europe, reflecting specific national, religious, or historiographical traditions and teleologies. In the course of the colonial encounter, they were able to establish their own new ideas of time in America, Asia and Africa. Such culturally determined periodization schemes require a systematic comparison in order to determine their particularities in the respective context and their contingency. An interdisciplinary and transregional approach makes it possible to develop categories of historical analysis that go beyond nationally bound patterns of interpretation. By looking at case studies from different parts of the world, this volume seeks to uncover some of the dynamics. |
