Online event: Franz L. Fillafer (Austrian Academy of Sciences), “Empire of Circulation: Habsburg Knowledge in its Global Settings” , Col·loquis de la SCHCT (2020 – 2021), Series: Global History of Science Seminar, Thursday 18 March 2021, 18.30h (CET)

   

Abstract: The historical profession is abuzz with studies of "circulation" and "interaction", yet the conceptual purchase and difficulties of these enticing terms remain ill-explored. My paper seeks to sound out the benefits this novel perspective promises: It permits us to situate the study of Habsburg Central Europe afresh in global history, and in doing so promotes a better understanding of each.
