Panel I: Periodization and Master Narratives: Situating East Asia in Global Twentieth-Century History

Huang Yongping (1954-2019) - La Carte du Monde 2000

Huang Yongping (1954-2019) - La Carte du Monde 2000

The panel will discuss two important aspects of the efforts to rethink facets of twentieth-century East Asian history from transnational and global historical perspectives: the question of periodization and master narratives. The presenters will elaborate on relevant developments in academic research in various countries and regions of East Asia and elsewhere in the world, and they will carve out the historical turning points (and issues of contention) that come with alternative narratives and modes of periodization. The panel will also consider relevant debates in the wider public, which is particularly important because efforts to move historical thinking beyond national parameters can be closely connected with highly politicized themes.
