Microhistory
Microhistory is the intensive study of a small, well-documented unit, a single person, family, village, or event, undertaken to illuminate the larger structures, beliefs, and contradictions of a society. Emerging in Italy in the 1970s around Carlo Ginzburg, Giovanni Levi, and the journal Quaderni Storici, it was a reaction against the impersonal serial and quantitative history of the Annales school, which microhistorians felt had lost sight of real people and the texture of lived experience. By drastically reducing the scale of observation, the microhistorian can read sources with a density impossible at the macro level, attending to anomalies and apparently trivial details. Ginzburg theorized this as an evidential or clue paradigm, akin to the methods of the detective, the physician, and the connoisseur, in which small, overlooked signs disclose a hidden reality. The famous exemplar is Ginzburg's The Cheese and the Worms (1976), which reconstructs the cosmology of a sixteenth-century miller from his inquisition records.
