Description
Since the turn of the 21st century, the prospect of planetary histories has begun to appear on the horizon of historians’ views. This prospect is the product of the present’s great challenges, not least climate change. It has been fostered by the sense that ‘global’ provides only a partial and specific view onto the past, and by the spreading influence of the concepts such a the ‘Anthropocene’, the ‘Capitalocene’ etc. The aim of this course is to engage the various genealogies of the idea and methods of planetary histories, and its ambitions. It also aims to explore whether and how planetary histories might better help us capture the complex past paths that have led us to the multiple (human, non-human) experiences of the present. In the course of this seminar, we will sample some of the forms of interdisciplinarity that are giving shape to the planetary histories that we already have, and those still to be imagined.
