Many contemporary periodisation schemes have their roots in Europe, reflecting                particular national religious or historiographical traditions and teleologies. As                part of the colonial encounter they have been translated into new temporal                authenticities in the Americas, Asia and Africa. Culturally determined as they are,                these periodisation schemes are begging for systematic comparison in order to                identify their contextual specificity and contingency. An interdisciplinary and                transregional approach allows to work out categories of historical analysis that go                beyond nation-bound interpretative patterns. In considering case studies from                different parts of the world, the aim of this volume is to uncover some of the                dynamics behind particular uses of periodisation schemes, as concepts for ordering                the past.
