La historia global: ¿encrucijada de la contemporaneidad?

No. 23 (2006-04-01)
  • Hugo Fazio

Abstract

The article presents a metaphor of the world as a historic category, suggesting that the planet is no longer the scenery where a group of histories take place, but rather a history on its own. With the purpose of turning such image into a concept of social theory, the author digs into the issue of the strengthening of the globalization and transit (caused by the same) of a universal history into an emerging global history of its own.

Keywords: global history, globalization, impact, global time, social theory
