A web of encounters Hayden White and Carlo Ginzburg have been two of the most influential figures in Western historiography over the past half century. White is widely credited with reorienting theoretical discussion through a linguistic turn, focusing on the construction of historical texts in narrative language, after the analytical philosophy of history seemed to have reached a point of diminishing returns by the late 1960s. But many practicing historians found White's innovations threatening; he seemed to invite a blurring of fact and fiction and thus to breed skepticism and relativism. During the same period, Ginzburg became one of the most revered practicing historians of his generation by showing, through his innovative "microhistory", how to use neglected evidence to illuminate hidden aspects of the past. |
