The intimate layers of a life

Abstract

This article offers two commentaries on Aún aprendo. Cuatro experimentos de filología retrospectiva by Carlo Ginzburg. The fundamental aim is to highlight the intellectual power that distinguished Ginzburg’s thought, analyzed in light of his career as a historian. In this respect, the article is articulated in two parts: the first one, based on an analysis of the four essays that make up the book, highlights the crucial moments of a process of formation and consolidation of the method of microhistory in its anthropological historical dimension. The second one, focussed on the essay “Los Benandanti. Cincuenta años después”, from the emotional effect that every act of reading promotes in the reader, recovers the intimate tone of the intellectual biography that Ginzburg provides in this work.
