KINDGARD, Adriana Mercedes. About Regional History and Italian Microhistory. Dialogues on the Occasion of a Local Political Experience in the Argentina of the 1930s. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2011, vol.3, n.5, pp.113-146. ISSN 2145-132X.

Taking as the centre of reflection the process around a peculiar experience of political participation which took place in Jujuy -a northern province of Argentina- at about the 1930s we say that the chances of dialogue between regional history and Italian microhistory depend on previous position around the epistemological question of the tension between explanation and understanding, assuming that the rescue of historical singularity does not collide with the search of regularities in social action. The analysis of the concrete event under consideration is based on the methodological premise in accordance with it the sense make aware by the actors in their practices it captures through a strong exercise of contextualization that points towards the particular historical framework in which the phenomenon becomes intelligible. It was fundamental the allusion to the process that had been formed and grasped with reference to a regional level. We want to install the reflection around the appropriateness of regard the regional level as an adequate space of analysis in order to the results of historical reconstruction exceed its original frameworks and light up distant realities across the space or the time.

Keywords : regional history; Italian microhistory; explanation-understanding; contextualization; projection of analysis.
