Primes

• Continuity vs. Rupture
  • Hobsbawm's (1962–1994) tetralogy of the "Age of" histories (Age of Revolution, Age of Capital, Age of Empire, Age of Extremes) is structured around precisely this dimension: each book debates whether the long 19 century and 20 century should be read as punctuated by radical breaks (the 1917 October Revolution, the 1945 end of European empire, the 1989 fall of Soviet socialism) or as manifestations of deeper structural continuities in capitalist accumulation and geopolitical rivalry.
• Periodization
  • Hobsbawm's (1962–1994) tetralogy—The Age of Revolution (1962), The Age of Capital (1975), The Age of Empire (1987), and The Age of Extremes (1994)—partitions the long nineteenth and twentieth centuries by dominant ideological and economic formations.

    This sourcePartitions nineteenth and twentieth centuries by dominant ideological and economic formations; exemplifies how boundary placement is justified by specific analytical frames (ideological formations and interstate competition).
