Digital Resources for Comparative Studies in World History

John Maunu

     Since 1980's world historical studies have been moving the field of history from nationalist, and regional approaches towards comparative, trans-regional historiography. Other fields are moving in the same direction, such as sociology, political science, anthropology, literature, and linguistics among others. Below are select digital resources on pedagogy and theoretical comparative models, university syllabi, papers, monographs, articles and blogs, reviews and journals dealing with comparative world history. Also, sprinkled throughout are lesson plans and modules using comparative world history strategies.


Pedagogy & Theoretical Models

http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/10/018.html
Hosting Andre Gunder Frank's "Historical Comparison and Connections at the AHA," H-Net, October 27, 1996 seen in World History Archives, Hartford Web Publishing. Prof. Frank, in this brief lecture, discussed the American History Association's Comparative history "provisions" and regretted the fixation on comparative (diachronic) history at the expense of connections (synchronic) in world history. He also criticized the failure of world historians of that day to represent world history as a "process."

Akinsola A. Akiwowo, "Contributions to the Sociology of Knowledge from an African Oral Poetry," International Sociology, Vol. 1, No. 4, December 1986, 343-358. Professor Akiwowo, a Yoruba sociologist, presented the idea that African oral poetry "can be extrapolated [compared] in the forms of propositions for testing in the future sociological studies in Africa or other world societies." This non-Western thesis invited other cultures to study their own poetry and in comparative fashion relate that cultural art form to a better understanding of societies and peoples.
