He created a new school of study, "microhistory," which has influenced thinkers from a range of different disciplines. The Night Battles looks at the witch trials of a small group of peasants in sixteenth- century Italy who believed they turned into animals at night to ward off evil spirits and safeguard their crops. Ginzburg's analysis of available primary sources creates a remarkably detailed picture of this shamanism, which he claims could be traced back as far as 1500 years. Ginzburg issued a challenge to late-twentieth-century academic norms-and pioneered new historical research techniques in doing so. Today, readers turn to The Night Battles not only for its account of a series of witch trials, but for Ginzburg's ground-breaking analysis of the ways prevailing ideologies re-interpret, create, and impose new meanings on popular practices. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 4 History 655 0 Audiobooks 700 1 Macat.Com, . 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Etienne, Stockland.|tMacat Library.|sSpoken word ; 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13763130?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ dra_9781912283347_180.jpeg
