Bringing together research scholars from different fields this
volume is a ground-breaking overview of the controversial
religious-othering movements. With the rise in religious extremism
in the world around us this is an incredibly timely and topical
volume that will appeal widely. With contributions from a wide
range of experts on the topic the volume provides cutting-edge case
studies.
Bringing together scholars from around the world, this first book
in the Palgrave Macmillan Series in Transnational History raises
the question of how we can get away from the contemporary language
of globalization, to identify meaningful, global ways of defining
historical events and processes in the late nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. Contributors trace the historical trajectories
of notions of world order, while proposing cutting-edge
transnational and global approaches. The essayists grapple with
broad and critical questions, including the role of global
discourses, the politics of new global movements, the impact of
global intellectual developments, and the emergence of competing
visions of world order.

Born into a low-level literati family in the port city of Ningbo,
the seventeenth-century Chinese Christian convert Zhu Zongyuan
likely never left his home province. Yet Zhu nonetheless led a
remarkably globally connected life. His relations with the outside
world, ranging from scholarly activities to involvement with
globalizing Catholicism, put him in contact with a complex and
contradictory set of foreign and domestic forces. In Global
Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled, Dominic Sachsenmaier
explores the mid-seventeenth-century world and the worldwide flows
of ideas through the lens of Zhu's life, combining the local,
regional, and global. Taking particular aspects of Zhu's multiple
belongings as a starting point, Sachsenmaier analyzes the contexts
that framed his worlds as he balanced a local life and his
border-crossing faith. At the local level, the book pays attention
to the intellectual, political, and social environments of late
Ming and early Qing society, including Confucian learning and the
Manchu conquest, questioning the role of ethnic and religious
identities. At the global level, it considers how individuals like
Zhu were situated within the history of organizations and power
structures such as the Catholic Church and early modern empires
amid larger transformations and encounters. A strikingly original
work, this book is a major contribution to East Asian,
transnational, and global history, with important implications for
historical approaches and methodologies.

In recent years historians in many different parts of the world
have sought to transnationalize and globalize their perspectives on
the past. Despite all these efforts to gain new global historical
visions, however, the debates surrounding this movement have
remained rather provincial in scope. Global History, Globally
addresses this lacuna by surveying the state of global history in
different world regions. Divided into three distinct but tightly
interweaved sections, the book's chapters provide regional surveys
of the practice of global history on all continents, review some of
the research in four core fields of global history and consider a
number of problems that global historians have contended with in
their work. The authors hail from various world regions and are
themselves leading global historians. Collectively, they provide an
unprecedented survey of what today is the most dynamic field in the
discipline of history. As one of the first books to systematically
discuss the international dimensions of global historical
scholarship and address a wealth of questions emanating from them,
Global History, Globally is a must-read book for all students and
scholars of global history.
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.
In recent years, historians across the world have become
increasingly interested in transnational and global approaches to
the past. However, the debates surrounding this new border-crossing
movement have remained limited in scope as theoretical exchanges on
the tasks, responsibilities and potentials of global history have
been largely confined to national or regional academic communities.
In this groundbreaking book, Dominic Sachsenmaier sets out to
redress this imbalance by offering a series of new perspectives on
the global and local flows, sociologies of knowledge and
hierarchies that are an intrinsic part of historical practice.
Taking the United States, Germany and China as his main case
studies, he reflects upon the character of different approaches to
global history as well as their social, political and cultural
contexts. He argues that this new global trend in historiography
needs to be supported by a corresponding increase in transnational
dialogue, cooperation and exchange.

Gegenstand der Arbeit sind die Werke und Schriften Zhu Zhong-yuans
(ca. 1616-1660), einem der bedeutendsten chinesischen Konvertiten
der Ming-Qing-Ubergangszeit. Zhus Schriften gewahren sowohl
Einblicke in die zweite und dritte Generation chinesischer Christen
als auch in die Welt der Konvertiten aus dem mittleren und niederen
Literatenstand. In dieser Studie liegt der Schwerpunkt der
Betrachtung auf den Wegen, welche christliche Konzepte und Rituale
auf ihrer Reise in das chinesische Kulturmuster des 17.
Jahrhunderts beschreiten. Hierbei werden nicht nur die von Zhu
gezogenen Verbindungen von Christentum und Konfuzianismus erortert,
sondern auch thematisiert, wie der Ming-Qing-zeitliche Leser die
Thesen Zhus erfasst und eingeordnet haben mag. Der Hauptteil der
Arbeit beginnt mit einer Biographie Zhu Zhongyuans im historischen
und kulturellen Kontext. Es folgen Kapitel uber Zhus Prasentation
der wesentlichen Inhalte des Christentums, seine Thesen gegen
Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Sinozentrismus sowie seine Erorterung der
christlichen Liturgie vor dem Hintergrund der Welt der chinesischen
Riten. Die Studie beinhaltet einen Faksimile-Abdruck der
chinesischen Texte, einen Generalindex mit Glossar und eine
englische Zusammenfassung."
