Ve více než čtyřhodinovém rozhovoru, který je zatím "the deepest of our deep talks", Sigurður Gylfi vzpomíná na studium na Carnegie-Mellonově univerzitě, svou první knihu, články i na léta kariéry nezávislého badatele. Zmíníme se také o tom, co vede sociálního historika ke kritice sociálních dějin i historické demografie a obratu k malému měřítku a mikrohistorii. Dozvíme se i to, jak vznikla edice Microhistories v nakladatelství Routledge. In more than four hours of interview, which became the deepest of our deep talks yet Sigurður Gylfi talks about his studies at Carnegie Mellon University, his first published book, his first article and his years as an independent researcher. We will reflect on what causes a social historian to criticise social history and historical demography and turn towards a small scale of research and microhistory. We will find out how the series Microhistories was established in Routledge. Bibliography [0:00:00] Personal webpage of S.G.M. [00:26:15] Thernstrom, Stephan. 1964.
