[From our family: ‘Analytical Concepts for Transcultural Settings’]

In global intellectual history, there exists a tension between analytical concepts often carrying a Western or colonial pedigree and their ability to capture the multifaceted reality of historical actors who cannot be placed in one language or culture alone.

The thematic section titled ‘Analytical Concepts for Transcultural Settings’ highlights the role of global intellectual historians as mediators who balance local realities with global narratives. It emphasizes how rethinking the crucial role of analytical concepts can help historical actors challenge and transcend conventional categories, urging historians to adapt their analytical frameworks for transcultural settings accordingly.

The editor Luc Wodzicki brings together former members of the Graduate School Global Intellectual History, who each focus on one concept and critically discuss it based on specific case studies: Paulina Dominik (Biography), Daniel Kolland (Modernity), Seb Boo (Q***r), Luc Wodzicki (Transculturality), and Leonie Wolters (Translation). Luc Wodzicki and Sebastian Conrad have written an introduction to the individual articles.

Have a look and share – the issue is in open access:
