Abstract

Spanish translation of the fundamental paper, “Connected Histories” by scholar Sanjay Subrahmanyam. In 1997, he published a discussion of his methodological proposal for the study of the early modern period and the major cultural transformations that it purported across the globe: he called it “connected histories”. It conveyed an innovative perspective that sought to overcome the limitations of the more traditional comparative approach as it had been implemented in particular in the context of Southeast Asia, that is, normalizing geopolitical frames projected from the modern nation-State. Through connected histories, the author pinpoints areas of contact –historical epicenters– where ideas, people, and things circulated, prompting deep, mutual influence that resonated at the local, regional and global level.
