本文考察了微观历史和日常的历史，无论是在社会和文化史的发展背景下，自20世纪60年代以来，并在战后欧洲社会的政治和社会变革的光。超越对历史叙事的争论，它强调在塑造历史解释中的视角、空间、规模和历史距离问题。它认为，这种史学趋势源于社会科学和政治学内部的两大争论。一个是关于现代资本主义和“消费社会”下日常生活的本质，另一个是关于人类能动性的争论。特别关注意大利的微型故事，它认为，这种写作最好被理解为对人文主义议程的承诺，将机构和历史意义置于日常事务领域，并将其恢复视为历史学家的适当任务。
This article examines microhistories and the histories of the everyday both in the context of developments in social and cultural history since the 1960s, and in the light of political and social change in post-war European society. Moving beyond debates about historical narrative, it emphasizes issues of perspective, space, size and historical distance in shaping historical interpretation. This historiographical trend, it argues, emanates from two major debates within the social sciences and politics. One concerns the nature of everyday life under modern capitalism and 'consumer society', the other the vexed issue of human agency. Focusing particularly on Italian microstoria, it argues that such writing is best understood as the commitment to a humanist agenda which places agency and historical meaning in the realm of day-to-day transactions, and which sees their recuperation as the proper task of the historian.
