I offer this reading to anthropologists in the conviction that it contains rich and abundant material for a dialogue with our discipline, a word of which the author of Aún aprendo (and also, humbly, this writer) is wary. Ginzburg is responsible for some of the most anthropological reflections to be found in the field of historiography, of which she is fully aware: her work has been described as that of "a shaman" who "picks up the bones of Sir James George Frazer (...) covers them with the skin of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and brings them back to life" (Donniger 1991: 3, in Ginzburg 2020). This work deals precisely with that past, or that common trunk, from which our professions draw their water.
