Resumen
El artículo discute la configuración de la tendencia reciente llamada historia microglobal. Se analiza la manera como la escala microhistórica se ha convertido en una opción metodológica para resolver algunos problemas de la historia global. Se propone que, a diferencia de las tendencias asociadas con los estudios postestructurales que usan y abusan de aspectos culturales como raza, género, etnia, o de la figura de los subalternos, la introducción nuevamente del sujeto en una escala translocal puede servir para analizar grandes preguntas y escapar de la historia como narrativa. Se propone que se debe pensar la agencia no simplemente como razones culturales, sino que el sujeto debe ser estudiado en una escala global, donde diferentes procesos translocales impactan sus capacidades de decidir y hacer.
