From History of Civilization to World History: Rethinking the Boundaries of Europe

In: Zeithistorische Forschungen: Studies in contemporary history : ZF, Band 1, Heft 3, S. 422-426

Abstract

Rethinking the boundaries of Europe is an earnest exercise that calls for critical reconsideration of our existing spatio-temporal constructions. First of all, it should be established that this kind of an exercise does not only necessitate a re-mapping of the cartographical space within which "Europe" is placed, but more so a re-thinking of the intellectual space within which history is situated.
