AGUIAR, Thiago Borges de; LEONARDI, Paula  and  PERES, Fernando Antonio. Ginzburg in the education historian’s workshop: some methodological considerations. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.20, e029.  Epub Jan 29, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v20-2021-29.

In this article, we reflect on the methodological procedures employed by the Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg in his work, pointing out how these procedures can be used in our research in the area of education history. We started from two articles that dealt with the evidential paradigm in the field of the history of education from the categories of distance and strangeness and the relationships between truth and language. We propose to think our research based on literary density, interdisciplinary dialogue, and treatment of sources. We understand that research in the history of education inserted in an Evidential Paradigm implies erudition, preservation of doubt, dialogue with the reading of other areas to our objects of investigation, understanding the role of chance in research and assuming a posture of exile in relation to the sources (and ourselves) so that our method of reading evidences can preserve the character of indecipherability present in all human cultural production.

Keywords : Evidential paradigm; Evidential method; Scientific methodology; History of Education; Carlo Ginzburg.
