World History Connected | Vol. 14 No. 1 | John Maunu: Digital Resources for Comparative Studies in World History


Digital Resources for Comparative Studies in World History John Maunu
Since 1980's world historical studies have been moving the field of history from nationalist, and regional approaches towards comparative, trans-regional historiography. Other fields are moving in the same direction, such as sociology, political science, anthropology, literature, and linguistics among others. Below are select digital resources on pedagogy and theoretical comparative models, university syllabi, papers, monographs, articles and blogs, reviews and journals dealing with comparative world history. Also, sprinkled throughout are lesson plans and modules using comparative world history strategies. Pedagogy & Theoretical Models http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/10/018.html Hosting Andre Gunder Frank's "Historical Comparison and Connections at the AHA," H-Net, October 27, 1996 seen in World History Archives, Hartford Web Publishing. Prof. Frank, in this brief lecture, discussed the American History Association's Comparative history "provisions" and regretted the fixation on comparative (diachronic) history at the expense of connections (synchronic) in world history. He also criticized the failure of world historians of that day to represent world history as a "process." http://www.thearwh.org/journal/arwh_4-1_Article_02.pdf Siew Ann Cheong, Andrea Nanetti, Mikhail Fhilippov, Nanyang Technical University, Singapore,"Digital Maps and Automatic Narratives for the Interactive Global Histories," The Asian Review of World History, Vol. 4, Issue 1, January 2016.

Dr. Chrisomalis on comparative history, archaeology and anthropology referenced 1896 Franz Boas's brief paper "The Limitations of the Comparative Method of Anthropology" which Chrisomalis claimed was "a disaster for comparative studies." See two versions of Boas's essay: http://www.anthrobase.com/Browse/home/hst/cache/bocomp.html and https://archive.org/stream/101484863.nlm.nih.gov/101484863#page/n0/mode/2up http://opensample.info/contributions-to-the-sociology-of-knowledge-from-an-african-oral-poetry Akinsola A. Akiwowo, "Contributions to the Sociology of Knowledge from an African Oral Poetry," International Sociology, Vol. 1, No. 4, December 1986, 343-358. Professor Akiwowo, a Yoruba sociologist, presented the idea that African oral poetry "can be extrapolated [compared] in the forms of propositions for testing in the future sociological studies in Africa or other world societies." This non-Western thesis invited other cultures to study their own poetry and in comparative fashion relate that cultural art form to a better understanding of societies and peoples. http://www.humiliationstudies.org/documents/DaffernEnlightenment.pdf Thomas Clough Daffern, Director, International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy, "Enlightenments: Towards a Comparative Analysis of the Philosophy of Enlightenment in Buddhist, Eastern and Western Thought and the Search for a Holistic Enlightenment Suitable for the Contemporary World," paper (64 pages) presented at Buddhist Conference for Dongguk University on Global Ecological problems and the Buddhist Perspective, February 2005. Thomas Clough Daffern's thesis stated a "need for a (comparative) methodology to compare various forms of enlightenment" which would move academics and others away from argumentative and competitive comparisons of which form or teacher of enlightenment was best. https://www.academia.edu/422959/Comparative_Historiography_Problems_and_Perspectives Chris Lorenz, Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Institute for Social Movements, International Research Fellow, "Comparative Historiography: Problems and Perspectives," Forum on Comparative Historiography, Free University of Amsterdam/University of Leiden, 1998.
