Title: Toward a new historical Condition

Date: Friday, May 24, 2019. 3 pm
Venue: Room 1, Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei

Abstract:
From the transformations of our historical experiences, can we
hypothesize the emergence of a new historical condition? I think we can
answer this question in the affirmative. Indeed, the questioning of the
modern concept of history, as well as the rise of memory, the future in
crisis, the growing place taken by the present alone – these are all
symptoms of the recent and profound transformations of our experience of
time. The discipline of history struggles to grasp these
transformations and, even more, to give them meaning. Can global
history, which has developed rapidly, put forward a new concept of
history? Isn’t the Anthropocene, which recognizes humanity as a
geological force, nothing short of a radical questioning of history as
it has been written since the modern era?
