Resumen
BERTRAND, Romain. Global History, Connected Histories: A Historiographical Turn?. Prohistoria [online]. 2015, vol.24, pp.03-20. ISSN 1851-9504.
The idea that Social Sciences had experienced in recent years a real "global turn" seems to prevail to the point to be barely discussed. However, what exactly says this expression in the domain of History? It simply designates an expansion of the geographical horizon of historians, and therefore, a calm discussion with the "cultural areas"? Or it involves an authentic methodological revolution? And, on the latter case, is it about of a "scale game" or "focuses" that can be made from European archives only, or must give greater attention to the extra-European sources? This article attempts to clarify these questions and, besides, tries to show how the connected history -understood in the sense of a social and cultural history of the "contact situations" between distant societies- can become an "symmetrical history", able to give voice to all the actors of the encounter
