Playing with Time, Temporality, and Periodization
Abstract
This chapter is part of the Routledge Handbook on European Peripheries section on Epistemology. Historical studies often conform to schemas of periodization that are both well-known and internalized by students and scholars. But whose periodization is it? If we want to write the history of peripheries, we must also pay careful attention to the time in which we set them. This chapter examines how peripheries are embedded in time and discusses recent research on how historians and others can make active choices about time, periodization, and temporality in their writing on peripheries.
