Abstract
RUIZ ISLAS, Alfredo. Narrating Everyday Life, or How Day-to-Day Matters Become Historical Texts. Hist. graf [online]. 2022, n.59, pp.133-168. Epub July 27, 2022. ISSN 1405-0927. https://doi.org/10.48102/hyg.vi59.421.
What is everyday life history? How is everyday life history written? What are the narrative strategies used by the scholars who study the past to consider a series of practices as everyday ones, and, based on such reasonings, to register them in an account that tells how daily life was shaped within a given group of particular individuals? This article aims at answering these questions and locate, on the one hand, the way in which, by textual means, historians establish the everyday life of a human group in the past and, on the other hand, the subjects that, in different ways, might be included into this type of historical account.
Keywords : everyday life history; historiography; historical account; textuality.
