Karl Jaspers pointed out: “World app bet365 download encompasses the entire globe in time and space。”But,Until the mid-20th century,Many Western universal app bet365 download or world app bet365 download works are still bound by "Eurocentrism",Ignore or even deny the app bet365 download of countries and regions outside Western Europe and North America。With the collapse of the colonial system,Promoted by the increasingly accelerating process of economic globalization,“Eurocentrism” cannot explain the evolution of various complex processes around the world,A series of traditional Western historical concepts have been reflected and criticized。Accordingly,Establishment of a global perspective in historical research,obtained practical support in terms of material conditions and ideological concepts,The manifestation is the rise of global app bet365 download。Global app bet365 download research is based on exploring various geographical spaces and multiple social communication networks,Discuss the interactions and interactions between various human groups,Expanded the geographical spatial category and social spatial level of historical research,Provides more possibilities for cooperation between app bet365 download and other disciplines。World app bet365 download as the era of globalization,Global app bet365 download since its rise in the mid-20th century,With the efforts of many scholars,From an international perspective,has developed into a widely watched and valued historical research practice。
The beginning of Western global app bet365 download,Strive to include the app bet365 download of other regions and countries in the world that have long been ignored by Western historiography,This is prominently reflected in the emphasis on world app bet365 download。1960s and 1970s,Stavrianos、McNeil、Barraclough、John A. Gallati and others have explored the compilation of general app bet365 download。UNESCO’s “app bet365 download of Humanity” also falls into this category。The academic community quickly realized that,The compilation of world general app bet365 download faces two main problems: first,The compilation of general app bet365 download requires solid empirical research to provide rich professional basic knowledge;Secondly,How to organize basic professional knowledge in an appropriate system,You need a general historical theoretical framework。In this context,Thematic global app bet365 download research emerged rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s。For example,Modern World System、Cross-cultural trade、"Columbian Exchange"、Ecological imperialism、Technology transfer and other topics have become the focus of global historians。
The "Journal of Global app bet365 download" specialized in Western academic circles was founded in 2006。From the development of this magazine for the global academic community,We can glimpse the evolution of global historiography。At the beginning of publication,This magazine advocates overcoming the fragmentation of historiography,To reflect a more complete picture of historical knowledge,Tend to believe that globalization is a process of realistic evolution,It is believed that Western historians have obtained ideas and experiences from other historical traditions,Also believes that Western app bet365 download can still help construct global comparisons and explanations。This magazine advocates the study of material life and knowledge、Religion、The relationship between political and military power,Example product、Consumer Culture、Issues such as labor culture and gender studies;Promote research on areas of interaction between different societies,Follow mutual connections、Comparative research across traditional regional boundaries、Interdisciplinary communication,Also advocates exploring the historical significance of various research fields from the perspective of academic app bet365 download。
2006-2019,The Journal of Global app bet365 download publishes articles covering trade app bet365 download、Economic app bet365 download、Commodity app bet365 download、Financial app bet365 download、Empire app bet365 download、Colonial app bet365 download、Cold War app bet365 download、app bet365 download of religious spread、World Population app bet365 download、International Immigration app bet365 download、app bet365 download of international organizations、Food app bet365 download、app bet365 download of Botany、Mining app bet365 download、Education app bet365 download、Concept app bet365 download、app bet365 download of knowledge dissemination、app bet365 download of telecommunications development、Gender app bet365 download、Sports app bet365 download、Fashion development app bet365 download and other branches,and the study of global dynamics of social policies and issues、Research on International Health Regulations、Global Civil Society Research、Research on development and global inequality after 1945、Study on Living Standards、Energy Research、Ship Transport Research、Maritime Research、Various topic areas such as "Great Divergence" research。Global app bet365 download research is not only about the process of economic globalization itself、Core Technology、Key node、The impact on different regions is discussed,And in the context of globalization connecting the world, explore human app bet365 download in different levels of historical space。For example,Islamic app bet365 download as Global app bet365 download、app bet365 download of Latin America、app bet365 download of the Greater Caribbean、app bet365 download of Capitalism,And the app bet365 download of Africa in the process of globalization、Early Modern Pacific Regional app bet365 download、app bet365 download of Indian Ocean Trade Network、app bet365 download of Fascist Imperialism,Wait。Starting from 2012,The "Journal of Global app bet365 download" proposes to encourage the publication of papers on social and cultural app bet365 download,Encourage to push the research time limit to before 1800,Central themes of the cultural turn in historical research such as identity、Performance、Issues such as the construction of differences have also received attention。This is based on effectively expanding the spatial level of historical research,Further explore the deeper historical background of the research topic。This can be said to be the basic characteristic of the academic development of global app bet365 download since the 21st century。
Progress in Empirical Research in Western Global app bet365 download,Establishing a global perspective in world app bet365 download research,Expanded the scope and content of world app bet365 download research,Accordingly, new ways of interpreting app bet365 download are proposed,That is, emphasizing the relationship between research objects、Relationship between research object and background。This emphasis started from the "establishing historical connections between continents" proposed by Barraclough, the pioneer of Western global app bet365 download,To Jerry Bentley’s definition of “cross-cultural interaction”,That is, the various interactions that occurred after contact between different groups of people on the earth are regarded as the main content and development driving force of world app bet365 download,Reflects Western global app bet365 download’s increasing emphasis on theoretical analysis。German scholar Jürgen Osterhammel even further proposed: Global app bet365 download is a theoretical undertaking,Narrative is an effective medium for theoretical integration。
Cross-cultural interaction research methods in global app bet365 download,Making active efforts to overcome “Eurocentrism” in the research and compilation of world app bet365 download。Pete N. Stearns once statistically pointed out,In a app bet365 download course at an American university in 1910,45% is European app bet365 download,16% is British app bet365 download,37% is American app bet365 download,Only 2% is about the app bet365 download of the rest of the world。Patrick O'Brien also pointed out,The 12-volume "General app bet365 download of the World" compiled by Lavis and Rambo,Leave only a dozen pages of narrative space for the world outside the West。Such situations not only occur in Western academic circles,Japanese scholar Masa Haneda pointed out: Most early texts on Japanese world app bet365 download focused their attention on modern Western app bet365 download,There is very little space allocated to Eastern app bet365 download。This fully illustrates the breadth and depth of the influence of "Eurocentrism" in philosophy and social sciences。Global app bet365 download takes the connections and interactions between regions and countries, including the West, as the main research object,Nature has improved the status of the non-Western world in historical research and writing,Compared with Western traditional world app bet365 download research,The inclusiveness of global app bet365 download has been significantly expanded。For example,In McNeil's The Rise of the West: A app bet365 download of the Human Community,By China、India、The Eurasian survival circle composed of the four major civilization centers of Greece and the Middle East is the center of its attention。In "New Global app bet365 download: The Inheritance and Exchange of Civilizations",Jerry Bentley regards the mechanism of communication and integration between different societies or cultures as the fundamental mechanism of global historical development。It can be said,After more than half a century of development,Western global app bet365 download has established a more holistic perspective on world app bet365 download research and compilation。
However,Although the study of cross-cultural interaction in global app bet365 download has taken a key step towards negating the "Eurocentric" bias,But it also raises new questions,This is how to define the historical role of two or more interacting entities。This problem is particularly obvious in the study of imperial app bet365 download and colonial app bet365 download,Some global app bet365 download works treat empires as competitive social organizations,Conquer imperialism、Colonialism is regarded as a way of interaction between different groups in human society,Relativize all parties involved in the interaction between the mother country and the colonies,Blurring the relationship between aggression and being invaded into a competitive relationship,Simplify the relationship between exploitation and exploitation into a relationship of mutual contact,The actual consequence is that major issues of historical characterization are avoided or eliminated,This has become a new form of limitation in global app bet365 download research。This also explains,If we break away from imperialism in modern times、The intrinsic relationship between colonialism and capitalism,Purely emphasizes the communication and interaction of human society,Even if this list is based on the global geographical scope,It is also difficult to reveal the various forces that influence the development of world app bet365 download,It is difficult to fully explain the changes in the basic structure and form of the world。
The accelerated development of integration in today’s world,The two basic driving forces of human social evolution are becoming increasingly clear,That is, the production and communication of people themselves。Obviously,Production and communication are prerequisites for each other,But production rather than communication plays a more fundamental role。Human interactions emphasized by global app bet365 download,Should be understood in the corresponding relationship with production。In fact,The sum of the development of production and communication at each stage,All constitute a form of human active life process,It also means a specific stage in the evolution of world app bet365 download。Based on the basic principles of historical materialism,“The entire so-called world app bet365 download is nothing but the process of the birth of man through human labor”。This process continues to evolve driven by the two basic driving forces of production and communication。Concrete situations of various local societies,In fact, it is the level and extent of production and communication at various points of time and space,These concrete situations are the realistic basis for the existence of various social relationship networks and communication space categories。Global app bet365 download emphasizes the interaction between multiple social communication networks,And the interaction between different social spatial levels,Only on the basis of this reality can a full explanation be obtained。
In summary,Although global app bet365 download has expanded the understanding of world app bet365 download based on in-depth exploration of human social interaction practices,But after all, we cannot completely get rid of the shackles of "Eurocentrism"。To solve this problem,Only under the conditions of the new era,Make further exploration within the theoretical framework of historical materialism,That is, clarifying the dialectical unity of the integrity and diversity of human society in the mutual relationship of production and communication。
