Το Τμήμα Ιστορίας, Αρχαιολογίας και Κοινωνικής Ανθρωπολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλίας και το περιοδικό Ιστορείν/Historein συνδιοργανώνουν Διεθνές Συνέδριο με θέμα «Γύρω από τον Πλανήτη. Παλαιά Ερωτήματα και Νέα Θέματα στη Συγκριτική και Δι-εθνική Ιστορία».
Στόχος του Συνεδρίου είναι η κριτική θεώρηση του πεδίου της συγκριτικής ιστορίας αλλά και η διερεύνηση των νέων προσεγγίσεων που αναπτύσσονται στο πλαίσιο της «δι-εθνικής» ιστορίας και των «διασταυρούμενων» ιστοριών.
Οι ενότητες του Συνεδρίου αφορούν στην ιστορική μεθοδολογία, στις μεταναστεύσεις, στην ιστορία των επιστημών, στη μελέτη των τραυματικών εμπειριών του 20ου αιώνα, στην κριτική προσέγγιση της «περιφερειακότητας», της «δι-εθνικότητας» και της «πλανητικής ιστορίας».
Το Συνέδριο θα διεξαχθεί στο Βόλο κατά το διάστημα 4-6 Ιουνίου 2010.
Συμμετέχουν επιστήμονες από την Ελλάδα, την Αυστραλία και από ευρωπαϊκές χώρες.
Comparative history as a genre arose in the twentieth century within the interdisciplinary
communication of history with the social sciences. It particularly developed in the subfields of economic and demographic history while it also contributed to the evolutions of historical sociology. Important works on given phenomena, including feudalism, slavery, trade, processes of modernization, the history of revolutions, have been produced in comparative historical perspective. Moreover, the historians’ interest in enlarging their field of studies as well as their scope is neither new nor unfamiliar. Studies which cross boundaries, either regional or national or imperial, and detach from particular contexts in order to relate to others, have their own distinct evolution within history, ever since the antiquity. Hence, the paradigm of history which is framed within a particular spatio-temporal setting, traditionally that of one national state, is still dominant. Even now, historical research is widely conducted within specific national boundaries which impose their limits upon its themes and perspectives.

Scholarly interest in forms of historical research which move beyond one specific setting has recently re-emerged within a different intellectual and socio-political context. This interest relates to the wider phenomena that the processes of globalization have endorsed. In this context, skepticism about the nation as a focal point of history is complemented with a critique of static perceptions of comparisons which are exhausted in a study of “ similarities” and
“differences” of given phenomena. Critical and self-reflexive interrogations of traditional forms of comparison encourage different approaches.
Alternatively, cross-national and trans-national history has emerged with a particular interest in topics and questions which are placed through national boundaries and which become transformed in the very process of scrutiny.
“Shared histories” , “ entangled histories” and “ connected histories” have become central in this perspective.

This conference aims at reassessing the evolutions of comparative history and at exploring its redefi nitions and reworkings along with the emergence of cross-national and trans-national history and of histoire croisée. The formulation of concepts, topics and themes, the issues of sources, the ways historians craft questions, change scales and meet the challenges of working
beyond specific borders, the assessment of older approaches and of new projects are its main themes.
