          Abstract

          Resumen Los historiadores “profesionales” han utilizado a la nación como el marco para estructurar sus análisis, lo que ha elevado la historia europea al nivel de una metanarrativa. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas, un grupo de historiadores y académicos de otras disciplinas, interesados en el estudio de imperios, ha replanteado varios patrones historiográficos con el fin de descentralizar la historia y comprender el desarrollo de las sociedades o poblaciones de forma global. Para lograrlo, han propuesto el uso del concepto de “imperio” como categoría transhistórica y transgeográfica. El presente artículo introduce las discusiones de estos académicos y propone una nueva terminología para entender los imperios como acciones sociales llevadas a cabo en condiciones materiales y construcciones conceptuales específicas. El objetivo es mostrar el alcance de esta nueva historia imperial como una metodología que no solo plantea nuevas preguntas, sino que expande nuestra imaginación política fuera de las fronteras del Estado-nación.

          Abstract “Professional” historians have used the nation as a framework to structure their analyses, which has elevated European History to the level of metanarrative. However, in recent decades, a group of historians and scholars from other disciplines, keen on studying empires, have significantly redefined several historiographical patterns. They have undertak- en this task with the aim of decentralizing history and comprehending the development of societies or peoples from a global perspective. To achieve that, they have proposed employing the concept of “empire” as a trans-historical and trans-geographical category. This article introduces the discussion of these scholars and suggests a new terminology for understanding empires as social actions that occur within specific material conditions and conceptual constructions. The objective is to demonstrate the breath of this new imperial history as a methodology that not only raises new questions but also expands our political imagination beyond the boundaries of the nation-state.
