«Ojazos de madera: Nueve reflexiones sobre la distancia» is the essay by Carlo Ginzburg, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (272 pages).
In nine reflections, Carlo Ginzburg examines how distance and uprootedness sharpen the observer's gaze. He analyses the outsider's ability to reveal social contradictions, style as a tool of cultural inclusion or exclusion, and metaphor as a point of view, proposing new perspectives on the near and the far.
Translated from Italian (original title: Occhiacci di legno); part of the Historia, Ciencia y Sociedad collection, number 300.
Readers interested in the essay, philosophy and sociology: a work that invites cultural and historical reflection.
Carlo Ginzburg is an Italian historian and a proponent of the field of microhistory. He is best known for The Cheese and the Worms (1976), which examined the beliefs of Italian heretic Menocchio from Friuli.
