«A brief introduction to...» Global History, with Mariana Boscariol
Global History is both a concept and a method of analysing history in which events, phenomena and processes are viewed in global dimensions,‘ explains Mariana Boscariol in this episode of the ’Brief introduction to...‘ section of ’CHAM Talks". This does not necessarily mean creating a “macro-history”, but rather relates to a question of scale and the type of phenomenon being studied, which helps to better understand certain contexts based on their global connections. An example of this is the study of commercial networks. The interview is conducted by Isabel Araújo Branco.
Mariana Boscariol is a research collaborator at CHAM and an associate researcher at the University of Manchester, where she participates in the INTRECCI project (Institutional Transformation and the Entangled Commercial Cultures of International Commerce, 1450-1750, ERC). Mariana Boscariol holds a PhD in History from NOVA University Lisbon. Her main research interest is currently the study of Portuguese participation and contribution to the creation, continuity and alteration of international trade institutions based on case studies from the INTRECCI project – the Gulf of Guinea, the Gulf of Cambay and the Strait of Malacca – including the central role of religious agents and institutions.
In the next episode, Mariana Meneses Muñoz talks about women in Lisbon in the 16th and 17th centuries.
