description	The article explores the relationship between global approaches and historical biography. It contends that the so-called transnational, connected or crossed history raises questions of heuristic and hermeneutic interest for biographical inquires. Whereas the biography, like microhistory in general, focuses on the link between the history of an individual and a culture, between the micro and the macro, global approaches seek to articulate various spatial scales of analysis. Their goal is to reconstruct connections and transferences among different societies by looking at discrete historical events, including personal trajectories. The second part of the essay applies these insights to the case of Ignacio Flores, a late Spanish colonial magistrate. Born in Quito to a prominent Creole family, Flores was educated in Europe and developed his political career in the Upper Peru region. It is argued that that his personal journey, which took him from the political and intellectual circles in the metropolis, to his appointment as first Intendant of Charcas, and his removal and arrest shortly afterward, can only be understood by examining the intertwinement of his European cultural identity, his adscription to the putative Spanish nation, his creole origins, and his political alignments in the local conflicts.
