Welcome to Miniatures, the Podcast for the History of Everyday Life. We show how the big picture in history is best seen through the assemblage of individual and local stories, what the German historian Alf Lüdtke called ‘miniatures’. We discuss all aspects of the history of everyday life, microhistory, and ‘history from below’, featuring interviews and discussion with experts in the field. Between 2020 and 2024 this podcast was supported by the European Research Council as part of the 'Dictatorship as Experience Project' at the University of St Andrews.

Miniatures Episode 4: Why the Fascists Excavated Rome - Everyday Interactions with the Past with Dr Joshua Arthurs

Why did the Italian Fascists excavate Rome? Dr Joshua Arthurs (University of Toronto) talks to us about Fascist archaeology and what this can tell us about how the regime understood the past and envisaged the future, as well as introducing us to his latest research on everyday life during the 45 days in 1943 when it seemed that Fascist rule was over.

This podcast was originally published on 7th October 2020 as part of the ERC research project ‘Dictatorship as experience: A comparative history of everyday life and the ‘lived experience’ of dictatorship in Mediterranean Europe (1922-1975)’ led by Prof. Kate Ferris at the University of St Andrews.
