Colouring Outside the Lines
We are still working out how to do global history, especially for pre-modern periods. How do we achieve the necessary shift in scale without falling back on standard definitions of categories like states, ethnicity, religion, urbanisation, when these are increasingly challenged at the specialist level? This article sets out an approach that could help pre-modern historians ‘going global’ to challenge claims that ‘there is no alternative’ to moder…

Settlement, Landscape and Narrative
And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. Genesis 4:15–17 Some seventy years ago, in his What Happened in History, the archaeologist Gordon Childe proposed a model for th…
Introduction
In modern popular culture the term 'global' is synonymous with global connectedness, even 'globalization'. The Netflix series Sense8 offers an example of this understanding. The story is a fantasy of total global connectivity in the present day, and follows eight people who are scattered around the world, but linked telepathically. The first series was filmed entirely on location in Berlin, Chicago, London, Mexico City, Mumbai, Nairobi, Reykjavik…
Structural Mobilities in the Global Middle Ages
From classical times until the present day, 'nomads' have been compared and contrasted with the people of 'sedentary' societies, often being held up as a prime example of the Other. 1 Authors have emphasized their strange food, language, clothing, housing and customs, often describing them as invaders or raiders. These negative traits are often understood to be the result of the nomads' mobile pastoralist lifestyle, because their constant movemen…
Unbounded Loyalty
Unbounded Loyalty investigates how frontiers worked before the modern nation-state was invented. The perspective is that of the people in the borderlands who shifted their allegiance from the post-Tang regimes in North China to the new Liao empire (907–1125). Naomi Standen offers new ways of thinking about borders, loyalty, and identity in premodern China. She takes as her starting point the recognition that, at the time, "China" did not exist as…

Difficult Histories
Museums have long been thought to be vital contributors to nation building and the creation of identity narratives, yet the stories they tell must be negotiated within the constraints set by differing levels of interpretive freedom. This paper examines how museum exhibitions changed between 1982 and 2009 at the museums serving the five capital sites of the non-Chinese Kitan-Liao dynasty (907-1125). While some of these places, such as Beijing, hav…

The Five Dynasties
By the early tenth century, political control in the T'ang empire had been divided among regional governors, commanders, and warlords for some hundred and fifty years. This division of political power resulted chiefly from the effects of the momentous rebellions (755–63) of An Lu-shan and his followers, in which the capitals at Lo-yang and Ch'ang-an were seized, and the T'ang emperor driven into exile. By 907 the remnants of T'ang control of the …
