		The social historian Natalie Davis was tireless in her efforts to comb the local archives, judicial records, and in conducting interviews of present day inhabitants of the village Artigat to record the folklore of the "famous case" from their village.
		Davis also seems to assume you have seen the movie of the same title (to which she consulted), and wrote the book as an appendix to the movie.

		As she herself states, "[a] journeymen's initiation rite, a village festive organization, an informal gathering of women for a lying-in or of men and women for storytelling, or a street disturbance could be `read' as fruitfully as a diary, a political tract, a sermon, or a body of laws" (xvii).
		Davis is less interested in putting together a causal flowchart for history to spell out the whys and wherefores than in looking for meaning in certain "cultural artifacts" (xvi).
		Later, in the essay City Women and Religious Change, Davis compares the iconoclasm of Protestant rioters with the same singing printers, because "...like the armed march of the psalm-singers, the iconoclastic riot was a transfer of the joint political action of the grain riot in the religious sphere" (88).

	Davis, Natalie Zemon
		Davis elucidates a social relation of the highest importance, independent of the auto-consumptive ways of rural society, and the "market" ways of urban society.
		N.Z.D. takes a step further in discovering a social phenomenon in which we all participate but which certainly has not been much scrutinized by philosophers or economists in historically and immediately understandable ways.
		Bravo, Natalie Davis, for a gift to all of us in this era of globalization, for a gift of understanding at one historical, presentist and deeply humane.

	media theory » Natalie Zemon Davis and Technological Determinism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		With regard to “Printing and the People”, we see that Natalie Zemon does not commit to technological determinism or symptomatic technology.
		However, Davis also discusses the “….new relations printing helped to establish among people and among hitherto isolated cultural traditions.” This is definitely a more deterministic approach suggesting that the medium of printing led to new social formations.
		Davis’ paper is definitely instructive in this regard because the analysis doesnt refer to the general “people” or “masses” but looks at specific defined milieus.

		As women living in the seventeenth century, Glikl bas Judah Leib, Marie de l'Incarnation, and Maria Sibylla Merian, equally remarkable though very different, were not queens or noblewomen, their every move publicly noted.
		It also shows how persons removed from the centers of power and learning ventured in novel directions, modifying in their own way Europe's troubled and ambivalent relations with other "marginal" peoples.
