Though often treated as interchangeable with the ongoing and inexorable progress of globalization, concepts of “world,” “globe,” or “earth” instead suggest something limited and absolute. This innovative and interdisciplinary volume concerns itself with this central paradox: that the complex, heterogeneous, and purportedly transhistorical dynamics of globalization have given rise to the idea and reality of a finite—and thus vulnerable—world. Through studies of illuminating historical moments that range from antiquity to the era of Google Earth, each contribution helps to trace the emergence of the world in multitudinous representations, practices, and human experiences.Time and the world: interdisciplinary studies in cultural transformations ;Volume 4HistoryPhilosophyMetaphysicshistorieteorihistorisme (filosofi)globalhistoriemetafysikkHistoryPhilosophy.Metaphysics.901LB 31000rvkJordheim HelgeedtSandmo ErlingedtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQNO-TrBIBBOOK9910818030903321Conceptualizing the world4072581UNINA
