Dekolonijalne studije - prilozi izgradnji globalne istorije

Abstract

Global history seeks to go beyond the study of history traditionally framed in nation states in order to take into account the phenomena that occur beyond its borders and also go beyond history traditionally written from the perspective of the West and about the West, in a journey that attends to the analysis of diverse spaces and actors as well as relationships and exchanges that globalization has given rise to. However, in its development, this new history is considered as a continuation of occidentalocentrism and political and cultural parameters that sustain it. From Latin America, decolonial studies can contribute to the debate on global history from its formulation as a corpus of ideas that, on the one hand, seeks to understand the historical structure of a Western power with global projection and, on the other, the ways through which the emancipation of space and actors from their perspective is possible. In this line, the paper addresses decolonial studies in dialogue with global history.
