News from the steeriNg Committee: New members

Giovanni Gozzini, University of Siena

I am teaching Contemporary History and History of Journalism at the University of Siena (Italy), Faculty of Humanities, Depart-ment of Sciences of Communication. From the next academic year on I will change the name of my course into “Global History”. The first product of my new interest in global history is an essay about the International Migration System, 1900 and 2000, pub-lished in the Journal of Global History (2006, 1). Now I am completing a volume on Glo-balization and Inequality, 1800-2000 largely overwhelming my abilities.

Alessandro Stanziani, EHESS/ CNRS

I benefited from a double formation, a Ph.D. in economics in Italy, another in history, in France, to which I added a former speciali-sation in Russian studies (Columbia Univer-sity) and recently in law. I began my car-rier with studies on the Russian and Soviet economy, economic and statistical thought in the 19th and early 20th century. I turned afterwards to the study of markets and com-petition in France, mostly on food market. The regulation of food markets in a com-parative perspective had been the ensuing corollary of these researches. I then added a comparative and global perspective with

a study on ideals and practises of competi-tion on markets in France and other West-ern countries, from the 18th up through the 20th century. The interplay between “law in action”, perceptions and economic action is at the core of a forthcoming book on the rules of trade in western economies. I finally moved to a comparative and global analysis of the labour market, starting with the Rus-sian serfdom that I am putting under strong questioning in my last papers. I am currently including the Russian serfdom in a compara-tive analysis with British servants, French la-bourers and, above all, with indentured and other forms of bondage in some French and British colonies, mostly in the Indian Ocean. This will result in a book on the evolution of labour constraints in Eurasia, between the 17th and the 20th century, which is almost completed.

Third European Congress on World and Global History

third europeaN CoNgress oN world aNd global history London, April 11-14, 2011 London School of Economics & Political Science, Britain

Following the successful congresses or-ganized by ENIUGH in Leipzig (2005) and Dresden (2008), the 2011 congress will be in London, hosted by the London School of Economics & Political Science. The over-all theme will be “Connections and Com-parisons”. Within this we can expect to see discussions of comparison, connection and entanglement between polities, societies, communities and individuals situated in, or spanning, different regions of the world. The perspectives will range from interactions between humanity and the environment, in-cluding over the very long term, through the cultural and economic histories of material and social life, to empires, large-scale cri-ses, international organizations, and the in-tercontinental sources and consequences of revolutions, whether political, technological, social or ideological. The common emphasis is a commitment to transcending nation-al historiographies and exploring different approaches to wide-ranging comparisons. While most panels will be substantive, some are likely to consider the various approaches to this endeavour, examining the methods and the problems involved. The conference will include keynote sessions as well as a se-

ries of parallel panels. We look to welcoming to London scholars practicing or interested in global, world and trans-national history from whatever discipline, based both within Europe and from around the world.

Timetable:

September 2009: announcement of the Call for Panels: proposals for panels will be invit-ed, which may be complete or leaving space for further papers to be added.

February 2010: the Call for Panels closes. Proposers will be notified of the outcome in April.

April 2010: Call for Papers: proposals for individual papers will be invited, mainly to complete the panels already accepted.

October 2010: Conference registration and reservation of accommodation opens (through the congress website). It will be possible to reserve accommodation to suit different needs and pockets, in a range of hotels and university halls of residence.

Conference: Writing the History of the Global London, May 21-22, 2009 British Academy, London

2009 marks a period of approximately ten years of new historical writing which has re-cently come to be termed “global history”. Debates over “globalization” and paradigms such as the “great divergence” stimulated historians in many specialisms to think about the historical formation of these phenome-na. Just how unique, how distinctive, is our current condition of an intense interlinking of economies and polities. We are now re-thinking our histories in relation to those of others in wider parts of the world.Global history has challenged the old na-tional histories and area studies. It is now stimulating a recasting of imperial history, and of Atlantic world history. The “global” in history-writing emerged from postmodernist and postcolonial directions where “crossing boundaries” and “beyond borders” joined to the aspirations of ‚new imperial history‘ and to comparative studies of the West and the East. Since this time many historians have pursued wider concepts of “connectedness” or of “cosmopolitanism” as these have de-veloped in social theory. Many are now try-ing to move beyond unilateral comparisons contrasting Europe with China, or Europe with India - and are investigating linkages and interactions between world areas.This conference provides an opportunity to set out what “global” approaches to history mean to many of our major historians, how

it has changed the questions they ask and the ways they do history. It raises the limita-tions and problems of this approach to his-tory, but also opens out new perspectives. These histories also carry many limitations: they have been predominantly economic and political or histories of international-ism. They have not escaped the constraints of the “big questions” and “grand periodiza-tion” of issues like the “rise of the West”, the “sources of the great divergence” or the “crisis of empires”. They raise real questions of how we move from the global to the lo-cal, and the methods by which we carry out our research. There are serious questions of language and technical expertise.The conference will bring together those who have written the major books and ar-ticles shifting parts of the historical disci-pline in this directions. Discussions arising form the conference connect with think-ing about history in the wider community, from government policy on climate change, world poverty and global trade, as well as global integration and diversity. These issues are now major subjects conveyed to a wider public in international museum exhibitions, for example in the British Museum‘s First Emperor exhibition, the Royal Academy‘s The Ottomans exhibition, and before that the V&A‘a Encounters exhibition.

“Revolution im Zeugenstand – revolution called as witness” Leipzig, October 5, 2009

International Conference at the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Walter Markov

Organised by Global and European Stud-ies Institute, Commission Internationale de l’Histoire de la Révolution française and Re-search Academy Leipzig, Graduate Centre for the Humanities and Social Sciences

Walter Markov (1909-1993) chaired the In-stitute for Modern History of the University Leipzig with its strong focus on world histo-ry and comparative Area Studies from 1949 until his retirement in 1974. Research on the colonial past of Africa and Latin America, on the revolutions leading to political emanci-pation from the former metropoles as well as numerous books on the history from be-low of the French Revolution made him one of the very few internationally well known scholars among East German historians. The 600th anniversary of the University of Leipzig and his own 100th anniversary oc-casion a re-evaluation of his work under the very specific conditions of the academic sys-tem of the former GDR.

1989 in a global perspective Leipzig, October 14-16, 2009

Leipzig became world-wide known in 1989 as a place where mass demonstrations (…)decided the fate of the socialist regimes in Eastern Europe. But recent research has shown that there is much more of a global impact than traditional accounts of 1989 as a phenomenon restricted to the Eastern part of the European continent have dealt with.The University of Leipzig organises a con-ference which tries to evaluate for the first time this global reach of the events, their connectedness and their common structur-al ground. It is organised by the Global and European Studies Institute (GESI) in coop-eration with the Centre for East-Central Eu-ropean History and Culture Leipzig (GWZO), the European Network in Universal and

Global History and the Graduate Centre for the Humanities and Social Sciences of the Research Academy Leipzig.Convenors: Ulf Engel (GESI), Frank Hadler (GWZO), Matthias Middell (GESI)

Global Studies Consortium: Second Meeting Leipzig, October 17-18, 2009

A little bit more than two years ago, in Feb-ruary 2007, representatives from several universities around the world founded at a meeting at the University of California, Santa Barbara an international consortium of graduate programs in the field of global studies. Its central aim is to promote and facilitate the further development in this new field of academic training and to fos-ter collaboration among its members by sharing curricula and ideas about teaching programs, exchange teaching materials or through encouraging student and faculty exchange agreements. Membership, it was decided, should be open to any academic program in the world that offers a graduate M.A., M.Sc., M.Phil., or Ph.D. related to global studies. It includes programs that are transnational, transcul-tural, global/local, world systems, or cross area, and that are hospitable to interdis-ciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches within the humanities and social sciences to global studies. (For further information see: http://globalstudiesconsortium.org/)After the first meeting in Tokyo in 2008 the next meeting of the Global Studies Consor-tium will take place in Leipzig, hosted by the Global and European Studies Institute of the University of Leipzig. The discussions this time will center around the question on how to organize graduate training in the field of global studies. Among the main topics

that will be on the agenda are the following ones: experiences with the development of graduate training in the field in the various regions of the world; networking in graduate training and research in bi- and multilater-al constellations; the organization of study abroad periods and ways to get credits rec-ognized, as well as aspects of employability for graduates in global studies programmes at the international labour market.

Please address questions regarding the Con-sortium as well as its meeting in Leipzig to: [email protected].

World History Network: Eighth European Social Science History Conference Ghent, April 13-16, 2010
