Resumo Basendo-se na interpretação dos principais debates suscitados pela obra seminal de Kenneth Pomeranz A grande divergência, recentemente traduzida para o português, este artigo procura reconstituir as dinâmicas historiográficas que nas últimas décadas têm discutido comparativamente o desenvolvimento da Europa e da Ásia. Neste artigo, procura-se, por um lado, realçar a relevância de um conjunto de estudos na reformulação da história das sociedades asiáticas desde a Idade Moderna, entre as quais se destaca o trabalho de Pomeranz. Por outro lado, este artigo identifica e analisa criticamente os principais temas e problemas que decorrem desse movimento historiográfico. Abstract Based on a critical assessment of the fundamental debates ignited by Kenneth Pomeranz' seminal work The great divergence – a work that was recently translated into Portuguese –, this article presents a reconstitution of the historiographical contributions of the recent decades that have comparatively evaluated the development of Europe and Asia. On the one hand, the article highlights a group of works that offer new insights and interpretations on the history of Asian societies since the modern age, from which Pomeranz' work stands out. On the other hand, the article identifies and critically engages with the fundamental analytical and historical issues in connection with this important historiographical movement.
