Abstract

The essay aims to analyse the relationship between history and social sciences through some specific focuses: the relationship between individuals and historical contexts, the dynamics of social transformations between micro and macro contexts, the researcher’s interaction with autobiographical sources, the paths of understanding and knowledge of the human experience between empathy and distance. Specific attention is paid to two particular moments: the seventies and eighties of the last century in which there was a close relationship between anthropology and history (items, questions, methodologies, field work, oral sources) and the period that goes from the nineties to the present day, during which the themes related to memory and the role of testimonies emerge.

Keywords: Anthropology and history; Oral history; Memory.
