Histories of Historiography

The history of historiographies in Eastern Europe is currently displaying a trend towards (re)nationalisation. In contrast, these researches aim to reconstruct border-crossing exchanges of historians from the region as well as underline their active engagement with world history.

Entangled Historiographies and World HistoriographyJust as the history and culture of Eastern Europe are overall are shaped by diverse transnational and transregional relationships of exchange, historical scholarship in the region, too, is marked by numerous border-crossing transfers and interactions. Often mediated by emigree historians, historiographic concepts and narratives circulating within Eastern Europe received a lively reception in other parts of the world, as well. Historians from Eastern Europe have left influential traces in international historiography since the late-19th century. Multi-facetted traditions of historical research on other parts of the world and reflections on the location of Eastern Europe in global history have followed this. The knowledge of both past and present transnational and global entanglements in the region does not only strengthen the department’s international research network but also serves as a critical reflection of the most recent trend towards renationalisation.
