The conference aims to take stock of developments in the field of Brazilian history as the discipline as a whole is experiencing a shift to transnational and global perspectives. We seek to emphasize regional and local configurations of global(-izing) processes, emerging concepts of nationhood, material and intellectual exchange, and circulation of knowledge between 1870 and 1945. The conference is organized by the chair for Latin American history at the LAI in cooperation with the Center for Brazilian Research/Centro de Pesquisas Brasileiras at the FU Berlin.
