The Paradox of Conventional Anti-Eurocentrism Blank, Gary Most ―mainstream‖ accounts of the West-East divergence gain theoretical inspiration from Max Weber and/or Karl Marx, and have therefore traced the ―rise‖ of the West to the unique social processes that apparently fostered capitalism in Europe. Critics have labelled these accounts ―Eurocentric‖ insofar as they imply the inherent superiority of the West over the East,1 and they have offered alternative ―anti-Eurocentric‖ narratives which ostensibly avoid such analytical and normative pitfalls. These critics have succeeded in directing our attention to experiences in the non-European world. However, they have sought to validate these experiences by simply extending (in space and time), rather than transcending, the problematic concepts and assumptions that plagued the ―Eurocentric‖ Weberian and Marxist accounts of the origins of capitalism. This paper argues that a truly non-Eurocentric approach requires a definitive break with these assumptions and the adoption of an alternative historical materialist understanding of the origins of capitalism pioneered by Robert Brenner. While not explicitly conceived as non-Eurocentric, Brenner‘s concept of social-property relations offers the surest foundation for understanding ―the great divergence‖ without doing violence to history or succumbing to European triumphalism. 2012-12-18T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10230/20414 The Promise of Global Environmental History Hamilton, Sarah This article offers a brief overview of the field of environmental history with special attention to its potential for global research projects. Section I offers a definition of environmental history and describes how historians first began to reimagine the relationship between nature and society following the ―cultural turn‖ of the 1970s and 1980s. Section II outlines some of the intersections between environmental history and the developing field of Big History, and suggests ways in which the two fields may differ. Section III suggests some of the ways in which social, cultural, and economic historians might benefit from the inclusion of an environmental perspective in their work. Finally, section IV explains how the broader temporal and geographical framework necessary to understand the nonhuman world can be particularly useful to world historians. 2012-12-18T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10230/20412 Un imperi massa gran per a un sol home: la participació de les elits en les estructures del poder polític a Rússia al primer quart del segle XVIII Sallés i Vilaseca, Núria L‘Estat modern rus ha estat habitualment entès com l‘exponent de l‘absolutisme. Si bé és cert que es trobava legalment il·limitat, els mecanismes de govern que s‘havien configurat des de mitjans del segle XVI (aquells propis d‘un Estat fiscal-militar incipient) li requerien un cert grau de col·laboració social, i aquesta necessitat esdevenia de facto una limitació del poder autòcrata. En no trobar un espai influent en les estructures polítiques, les elits —formades per l‘aristocràcia i la noblesa de servei d‘arrel moscovita— es decantaren ja a principis del segle xvii per a la carrera administrativa, acceptant nomenaments com a alts oficials dins de les cancelleries o prikazy, un sistema en desenvolupament accelerat que compartien amb professionals de l‘administració. El segle XVIII començà amb el tsar reformador per excel·lència, però el seu impacte en la configuració de les elits fou mínim: la Taula de Rangs, en comptes d‘impulsar la meritocràcia, va consolidar la presència de la noblesa a l‘estrat superior del conglomerat polític i administratiu. 2012-12-18T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10230/16177 La construcción del ciudadano colombiano.
