The term "Global History View" is widely known in the academic world with the rise of global history in China,And becoming a key concept of many people understanding global history。In the late 1990s to the first ten years of the 21st century,When the global history is introduced to China,Chinese historical circles have been contending for this concept,On the one hand, I discussed its connotation,On the other hand, there are different situations of compliance。I think,"Global History View" as the core concept that reflects the concepts and methods of global history,It is not completely "brought" from the global history of the West,but a Chinese scholarly concept of Chineseization under the influence of Western global historical concepts,Reflecting the theoretical thinking of Chinese scholars facing the rise of global history。

The earliest reflection of the "Western Center theory" from the perspective of historical theory reflection from historical writing and proposed the scholar of "world vision",It is Marshall Hodgson in the United States and Jeffrey Paleklav in the UK。

As early as 1944,Hodchson published an article "World History and a World View" that discusses how to write global history。In this article,He criticized the European -centric world historical concept,It is proposed to put Europe in the world to understand,And think that this worldview not only has the meaning of historic methods,It is also a suitable way to break the superiority of the Western nation。Therefore, he advocates historians "to build a" global 'world outlook "。To this end, he proposed: "We should do two things: First of all, encourage writing world history。I am convinced that I can say this,No existing historical book tries to show a overall picture,In this picture, the development of the civilization of Europe and the entire 'old world' is divided into。Next,Even if I can't do this now,We should Bet365 app download not continue to talk about those vocabulary and make people's minds form a distorted world map,Makes our existing catastrophic narrow concepts continue,Therefore, people think of people's possibilities based on a 'global' world。"1954,Hodchson published "As a World History Method Method History History",Further explains its global historical research path as "hemisphere area history" method,and proposed that this inter-historical method is of great significance for establishing a world history method (World-Historical Approach)。

In the UK,Paleklav published the papers "History in the World" in 1955,Among them, "Perfecting Europe: New Views of European History" (1954) and "End of European History" (1955) two articles,concentratedly explained that it placed Europe in the world、Promoting the point of view from the perspective of Europe to the "World-Wide Perspectives" view。He believes that the connection between Europe and the outside world is an important factor in shaping European history,After World War II, the world entered a new era of global politics,This requires a new point of view to examine the history of Europe and the world。He said, "Every era needs to look at the views of history; today,We need a new point of view on European history,From a new perspective to review the old Europe in the new era of global politics and global civilization。"Introduction to Paleklav in 1964,It reflects its claim from the global view to investigate world history。Lefen S. Stavri Arnos after reading the book,Published a book review in June 1965,Given a high evaluation: "Just as William Mcnier's" Rise of the West "shows the feasibility and creativity of the global method of discussing human history (Global Approach),Jeffrey Paleklav's research once again shows the fruitful results in the global vision。”

  Stavrine's global vision

1959,Lefen S. Stavri Arnos published "Teaching of World History",It is proposed that world historical teaching should have a "global person persisted",In addition to teaching European history,It should also include African History、bet365 live casino games Middle East History、History of India and Chinese History,This breaks through the world -centered world history of European history。1962,3464_3514。This book is the earliest use of "Global History" in the English world as one of the works of the title。Just in the same year,American scholar Hans Cohen published the book "The first period of the ethnic era: the first period of global history"。Stavrianos and Cohen both realized that human society entered a new stage of globalization in the middle of the 20th century,Therefore, the name "Global History" is used in an invincible manner。

1964,Stavrianos published "Global Vision in the World History",Further explaining the concept of "global vision": "What does this new field of view mean? What does it include?、Observer of Paris or Washington has the vision。It means for every historical period,We are interested in events or exercise with global significance rather than regional or national meaning。More specifically,It means such a cognition: the Chinese Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire in the classical era were equal in all aspects; the Mongolians in the Middle Ages were more important than the "Charter"; And Western Europe's expansion at sea,Both are equally worthy of attention than religious reforms or religious wars; today,The development of global significance has nothing to do with the Cold War Group or the crisis,Instead, it is related to the decline of Western hegemony,related to the emergence of new global concerns (such as the attention of ecology)。"" So far,Stavrine Arnos's "Global View" based on the compilation of world history is basically formed。This idea is reflected in the subsequent publishing "History of Global"。

So,The 1940s and 1960s,Passing Hodgson、Paleclaf、Explanation of Staker Arnos and others,"Global Vision" is formed as a new concept of historical writing。At the same time,William McNiel as a practitioner who applies this concept to world history,It also greatly promotes the rise of this new concept and the rise of global history。The "rise of the West" he published in 1963 was well received,Writing Bet365 app download the world history from the "global vision" in the Western academic community、Explain the masterpieces of the West from the perspective of civilization interaction。

  The generation of the concept of "Global History"

1978,Paleklaf published "Main Trends of Contemporary History",Among them, I wrote a "prospect of world history" to comment on the emerging global history,The first sentence of this section is: "Awareness of the need for a universal view of history Ire Globe -IS One of the Marks of the Present. "Here,Paleklav not only proposed the concept of "global view of history",Also explained the discount on the "History" in it,This history is the boundary of the nation and region、Covering global history,Therefore, this history requires a "universal view"。1987,"The Main Trend of Contemporary History" is translated as Chinese publishing,"A UNIVERSAL View of History" in the above sentence is expressed as "Global History Outlook",At the same time, this concept is interpreted as "the boundary of the nation and region,Understand the history of the entire world "。Some domestic scholars think,The term "Global History View" in Chinese originated from this。

1988,Staker Arnos's "History of Global" was translated as Chinese publishing。The "Global Vision" written by him advocates world history,and in the first chapter of "Introduction", the door to see the mountain claims: "The view of this book,Just like an observers who live in the moon, the viewpoint formed by the inspection of our sphere as a whole,Therefore,London or Paris、The viewers of the observer of Beijing or Delhi are different。"" "To accurately understand the history of the West or non -Western history,No one containing the global views of the two (Global Overview) is not working; only the global perspective,can we understand the extent of the influence of each ethnic group in various eras,and this interaction on the major role of determining the process of human history。"",This book is regarded as a masterpiece of global history by many scholars in China,Some scholars take it as an example Bet365 lotto review to discuss "Global History"。For example,Xu Fengzhen's "Review the World after 1500 with Global History" (1997)、Zhang Guangzhi's "New Trend of the World History" (1998)、Yu Pei's "Globalization and" Global History "" (2001)、Wang Wen's "Reviewing Stavrine Arnos's Global History" (2004)、Liu Debin's "Struggle and Opportunities of" Global History "(2005), etc.。The concept of "Global History" spreads from this。

 Sinicization of the concept of "Global History"

Yu Pei put forward the "localization" problem of global historical view in "Globalization and" Global History ",And affirmed that some scholars in my country have made positive contributions to the establishment of global historical views with Chinese characteristics。"The so -called 'Chinese characteristics',It mainly refers to consciously based on the historical view of materialism as the theoretical basis; more thoroughly abandon the ‘Western European Center’ s theory ’or‘ European and American centers ’; research、Learn,or advocating the global historical views in historical research,It is not separated from the main tide of the world of world history,It is not separated from the history and reality of Chinese history,Instead, it is incorporated into the broad background of contemporary Chinese social development to recognize and think about。"2011,Liu Xincheng made a comprehensive comment on the "Global History View" in the article "Global History View in China",It is believed that the discussion of Chinese scholars on the "Global History" discussions,"Not only does it have historical research significance,There is also a taste of ‘cross -cultural research’ ”。

So,"Global Vision" written from Western scholars (including World Outlook、World-Wide Perspective、Universal View、Global Approach、Global Overview、Global Perspective, etc.),Discussion on "Global History" to Chinese scholars,A new concept of historians formed in cross -cultural interpretation,That is the historical "global view" written by Western scholars ",In the cross -cultural interpretation of Chinese scholars, it bet365 Play online games becomes a "historical outlook" compilation of global general history,"Global History View"。In a sense,,This name is a result of a concept of foreign history in China and further conceptualization,It is simplified from many different expressions in English to a Chinese concept,The concept and method of summarizing global history with it,And its connotation is further enriched through academic contention,So as a new concept of historical writing in the context of globalization。but but,From the perspective of the history of cross -cultural concepts,The term "Global History View" in Chinese is difficult to translate into English。Because,On the one hand, it is a summary of Western scholars on the many expressions of "Global Opins" on Western scholars; on the other hand,,It adds the connotation of the Chinese "historical view" on the basis of "global view"。So,It is difficult to use an English vocabulary or phrase to accurately express the "global view of history"。

"Global History View" as a concept of Chineseization,In addition to global vision、Overall view、Interactive view、Out of the elements of European Center theory/Western Center Theory,More importantly, the introduction of Marx's world history theory。For example,Cymblymeli in "Thinking of the" Reinstream of the Global History "and the World Modern History System (2006) (2006),Knowing the "Global History View" to talk about from Marx's world history theory,This theory is an important basis for us to understand and use the "global historical view"; only correctly evaluate the status and role of various ethnic groups in world history,Only from the perspective of materialism history, what is the "global view" of science。Some scholars think,Zhou Gucheng and Wu Yu's thinking and practice on the compilation of world history,It is also an important academic basis for understanding the "Global History"。So,Marx's world historical theory should become an important content and ideological basis for the "global view" of Sinicization。

In short,The concept of "Global History" generated Bet365 app download in China,The results of highly summarized and re -conceptualization of global historical concepts and methods,Reflects the theoretical thinking of Chinese scholars' writing of global history,Its connotation is richer than the concepts such as "Global Perspective" or "Universal View of History" than English.。It is both a global outlook that reviews history,It is also a historical outlook based on Marx's world history theory,It is of great significance for writing global history with Chinese characteristics。
