history.transnational

history.transnational is a specialist forum within the framework of H-Soz-u-Kult and Clio-Online. It is supervised by academics of the Centre of Advanced Study at the University of Leipzig and by the "Transfers culturels" research group at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Paris. The project is based on the international cooperation of the European Network in Universal and Global History, which is affiliated to the World History Association.

history.transnational publishes reviews of new publications, announcements and reports of conferences and workshops, lists of contents as well as the full texts from journals that are centred on transnational history. The rubric "Re-read" offers renewed discussions of "classics" of international and global history from different perspectives. The rubric "Forum" makes it possible to present articles containing new results in transnational history to a wider public. Additionally the specialist forum is devoted to the debate of how new research results can be introduced into teaching at schools and universities.

history.transnational itself is a project of working across borders on the basis of concrete experiences with transnationalization, which have impacted science as well other areas of society, as well as on the present boom of world and global history.

history.transnational offers information about new publications, research initiatives, events concerning the history of cultural transfer and the interweaving of transnational relationships in Europe and the world. Accordingly, the expert forum addresses European and non-European scientists, scholars and specialists in European and extra-European developments, asking them to make their expert knowledge available for joint consideration. The explicitly interdisciplinary forum aims at promoting the mutual interactive and discussions of knowledge which has so far still nationally oriented and at encouraging the intertwining of historical, cultural and social science approaches.

The category of transnational history as seen by our journal describes a broad range of methodical approaches devoted to the analysis of encounter across borders and exchange. By means of these methods, transnational history can be studied as an intensification of relationships, of the growing influence of globalizing processes on local, regional and national developments and as the lasting dialectics of de- and re-territorialization in the economy, in politics, in social relationships and in culture.
