Towards a transnational history of political concepts in the Ibero-American world.

Abstract

The increasing globalization of historiography is giving birth to new modes of comparative history, transnational history and crossed history. The summary of the project presented in this paper constitutes an example of these new approaches and attempts to surpass national frames. It is a proposal for a historical analysis in parallel with the use of some societal and political concepts that are essential in the different areas of the Latin American cultural world. The author outlines the main objectives and hypotheses of the current research and publishing project, as well as some preliminary methodological considerations, together with some of the major obstacles.
