| Summary: | The present article discusses the configuration of the recent tendency known as microglobal history. It analyzes the way the microhistorical scale has become a methodological option to solve some problems of global history. Unlike the tendencies associated with post-structural studies, which use and abuse cultural aspects like race, gender, ethnic group, or figure of subordinates, the introduction of the subject in a translocal scale is presented as an alternative to analyze great questions and to escape again from history as a narrative. The article proposes that agency must not simply be thought as cultural reasons. Instead the subject must be studied on a global scale, where different translocal processes impact capabilities to decide and act. |
