Carlo Ginzburg

To lead the historiada written culture giving to it as basic rock the history of the representations is, therefore, to tie the power of the writings with the one of the images that allow to read them, to listen to them or to see them, with the mental categories, socially differentiated, that are the matrices of the classifications and the judgments. (P. 52) In the chapter Micron-history and globalidade, it is said of totalizante history and its rejection for the micron-historians and that now it has a movement for a global history but using a game of scales, nor only ‘ ‘ micro’ ‘ nor only ‘ ‘ macro’ ‘. The union of global with the place generating a hybrid glocal that in the theory would correct the distortions in the use of scales micron and macro. When discoursing on history in the digital age, Chartier it defends that all technological innovation not cause a sudden change in what it says respect to the production and consumption of historiogrficas workmanships and that many waited that the advent of the Internet, and for consequence the launching of electronic books, would be a revolution in the spreading and historiogrfica distribution, what not yet it happens.

A problem in the electronic book spreading is that in the book printed matter the notes send the texts that the reader, in general, will not read, perhaps but in the electronic book the reader makes the inverse process, leaving to read the workmanship, to look the displayed references of the author in notes. The disappearance of publishers specialized in electronic books sample that not yet is a reality the success of this new publishing market. In its Chartier conclusion it uses the times of History since the long braudeliana duration to micron-history of Ginzburg, Levi and others, beyond the quarrel if the temporalities is external or to the individuals and does not conclude affirming that (…) the reading of the different temporalities that make that the gift is what is, inheritance and rupture, invention and inertia at the same time, continues being the singular task of the historians and its main responsibility stops with its contemporaries. (68) In its Chartier assay, of form until certain didactic point, it goes discoursing on the questions that pululam day-by-day of the historiogrfica production? mainly after the call crisis of the history, lived in years 80 and 90? thus goes passing in magazine some aspects of the historiografia, also its workmanship, in a book of fluid and not tiring reading that the reader arrests until the end.
