In the last decades, Global History and German Zeitgeschichte, the sub-discipline dedicated to the most recent period, have surprisingly had few overlaps and exchanges, despite the latter being widely regarded as a quintessentially globalized era. Global History primarily focused on the long nineteenth century, while German-speaking Zeitgeschichte oftentimes retained its focus on the national perspective, employing transnational approaches but rarely engaging with the theories and methodologies of Global History. This is currently changing, partly due to the vibrant research on the global history of socialism and the Cold War, which has begun to shed a different light on the history of the two German states. Starting from a brief assessment of the past relationship between the two fields, the panel discusses current shifts and emerging questions as new publications, conferences, and institutional initiatives signal the start of a more substantial dialogue between these historiographical domains. What are the prevailing trends, challenges, and potential stumbling blocks in bringing Global History and German Zeitgeschichte together? And what can we learn from transatlantic and transregional perspectives on these two fields?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
