📣Out now on #firstview! Jessica A. Fernández de Lara Harada @oxhistoryfaculty.bsky.social on 'Archive/s, Methodologies, and Silenced Subjects in the Past, Present, and Future of Global Histories' #Roundtable #Archives #History #Global #World 🗃️ 👉Read open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

On Thursday 7 March 2024, an initial roundtable discussion of Mooring the global archive: a Japanese ship and its migrant histories was held at the University of Oxford History Faculty, as a part of the ‘Moving Stories: Sectarianisms in the Global Middle East’ Seminar Series, chaired by John-Paul Ghobrial, with Jennifer Altehenger, Jessica Fernández de Lara Harada, Giuseppe Marcocci, and Filippo de Vivo in conversation with Martin Dusinberre. An open access copy of the book can be consulted here. The present essay takes Martin Dusinberre’s Mooring the global archive as a starting point to analyse, discuss, and elaborate distinct approaches to global archives; historical methods; forms, meanings, and reproductions of violence; the place of ethics in historical research and writing; and global, transnational, and local histories. This essay draws on the above-mentioned roundtable discussion, and whenever relevant refers to the contributions of the colleagues who also participated in it to acknowledge the fruitful discussion that inspired The Historical Journal roundtable publication. In this collection of essays, we expand and deepen the discussion with other academics and early career researchers. Together, the collection of essays aims to pose questions, identify blind spots, and build new perspectives that enrich our shared understanding.

I had a brilliant time celebrating the launch of new BBC Arts documentary, Civilisations: Rise and Fall. It’s coming to BBC Two and iPlayer later this month. We hope you watch it, enjoy it, and spread the word about this new BBC Arts landmark series. @triciayourkevichphotos @bbcarts
