Sektor: Historični materializem
. Za znanost zgodovine ta ne pomeni le preteklosti, temveč tudi in predvsem sedanjost – sedanjost, ki jo razumemo kot množico procesov in bojev v danem (preteklem ali sedanjem) trenutku. Historični materializem tako prinaša dokumente, poročila, analize in druge tekste, ki na različne načine pišejo materialistično zgodovino.

Giovanni Levi (born in 1954), internationally renowned microhistorian, is a representative of so-called engaged historiography that demands the separation of history from ideology and is one of the defining frameworks of the post-modern division of historiography. For Levi, one of the main problems of modern historiography is the authoritative style of interpretation. Historians relate narratives as if they were speaking about some objective reality, rarely mentioning the painstaking research process which would lend to their conclusions an air of hypothesis, non-conclusiveness or doubt.
