Abstract

The incorporation of everyday life into historiography constitutes a critical debate within the discipline of history. Michel de Certeau engages with this discussion through an interdisciplinary perspective, addressing the representation of historical reality, the articulation of heterogeneity within culture, and the ethical dimensions of the relationship with the past. Within the framework of critical historiography, Certeau distinguishes himself by redefining both historical knowledge and the role of fiction and narrativity in the representation of reality. Certeau’s significant contribution lies in his exploration of the complex interplay between narrativity and the representational forms of everyday life. By foregrounding the micro-creativities inherent in daily practices and highlighting the transformative potential of the ordinary within historical processes, Certeau transcends conventional historiographical paradigms that prioritize political events and historical ruptures. This study examines how Certeau’s approach offers a practical framework for the human subject as both the maker and writer of history.
