Více o knize

Challenging established culturalist methodologies, this work explores the narratives of peasants and their significance in historical and ethnographic studies. The author critiques current theoretical frameworks and advocates for a historical anthropology that integrates myths, fairytales, and histories. This approach highlights a universal human need to connect local experiences with broader contexts, bridging the divide between popular culture and peasant society. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding these narratives to enrich social science research.
