Aiming to observe Latin American History in its global interdependence, the working group was founded in 2009 under the roof of ADLAF (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutsche Lateinamerikaforschung). Latin America is to be analyzed within the context of important global developments, processes of change and experiences since the mid-19th century. In the working group, counter movements, deliberate segregation and alternative concepts that are also characteristic for Latin America and thus undermine or even prevent global interdependences, should also be a topic.
The working group especially addresses historians and will constitute itself at the first meeting on January, 27th and 28th 2011 at the University of Bremen.
This meeting will be concerned with developing a work program for the group and identifying further possibilities for cooperation and networking. Furthermore already existing projects, as well as research projects that include perspectives in Global History will be introduced and discussed. Explicitly welcome are projects that examine the issues and difficulties of such an analysis or involve methodological considerations. ADLAF supports the meeting financially and it is open for all members of ADLAF.
