@linda_a_burnett's workshop done, presentations attended, scholars met, and conversations had. What have I learned? Surprising things. Here's a partial reflection histories of scientific instructions, lists & colonial travel. @UU_University, @BookScribbler, @eayers0, @dominikhhh
First off, not all lists are alike. Much can be learned by the order of items, especially when it comes to ethnographic observation. The order of observation tells us about the intellectual context from which the instruction arises. #listing #History #Science #KNOWLEDGE
But study of intellectual context takes us into other domains - of national experiences, of inter-imperial exchanges, of cross-cultural encounters and yes, so often, of violence and indifference to sufferings. #History #Empire #colonized #Violence #KnowledgeManagement

Okay so there's apparently a theory that: #Empires live for 300 years.
First of all, definitions of empires are quite vague
Secondly, the duration given here is an average
An interesting view on it is given by the @ForeignPolicy article here: archive.is/YM5ri <šŸ§µ>
Some quotes: We tend to assume that the life cycle of empires, great powers, and civilizations has a predictable regularity to it. Yet the most striking thing about past empires is the extraordinary variability in the chronological as well as geographic expanse of their dominion.
Average Roman empire lasted 829 years: West Roman Empire from 27 B.C. (Octavian became Caesar Augustus) & till Constantinople established in 395, total of 422 years. East Roman Empire from then until sack of Byzantium by Ottoman Turks in 1453, 1,058 years.
