{"product_id":"periodization","title":"Periodization","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eWhy do we need to divide time into periods, and how do these divisions of time contribute to or impede our understanding? Unlike other studies of periodization that limit discussions to whether particular period definitions are true and accurate, \u003ci\u003ePeriodization\u003c\/i\u003e delves into our wariness of such categorizing and the impulse to categorize historical time in the first place.\u003cp\u003eThis special issue of \u003ci\u003eMLQ\u003c\/i\u003e covers examples of periodization from the early modern to the present, including a range from the individual year to the \u003ci\u003elongue durée\u003c\/i\u003e and incorporates a variety of methods from close empirical study to global concern. In the lead essay, Russell A. Berman argues that periodization saves us from the dangers of both anachronism and presentism. Srinivas Aravamudan, updating Vico, reminds usthat we lose the past if we simply leave it unexamined. In “Perioddity” Timothy J. Reiss reflects on the crossings of chronology with geology in long-range and global perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection strives to turn discomfort with periodization into a constructive discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors. \u003c\/i\u003eSrinivas Aravamudan, Russell Berman, Marshall Brown, Margreta de Grazia, Robert J.
