The influential readings contained in this volume combine
conceptual history - the history of words and languages - and
global history, showing clearly how the two disciplines can benefit
from a combined approach. The readings familiarize the reader with
conceptual history and its relationship with global history,
looking at transfers between nations and languages as well as the
ways in which world-views are created and transported through
language. Part One: Classical Texts presents the three foundational
texts for conceptual history, giving the reader a grasp of the
origins of the discipline. Part Two: Challenges focuses on
critiques of the approach and explores their ongoing relevance
today. Part Three: Translations of Concepts provides examples of
conceptual history in practice, via case studies of historical
research with a global scope. Finally, the book's concluding essay
examines the current state and the future potential of conceptual
history. This original introduction provides the students of
conceptual, global and intellectual history with a firm grasp of
the past trajectories of conceptual history as well as its more
recent global and transnational tendencies, and the promises and
challenges of writing global history.
