Abstract EN

The topic of research addresses the question of revivalism in the fields and methodologies of historical research and its methods by moving from the study of general history to historical research interested in studying the lower and subordinate groups.

Some sociological and anthropological writings issued in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that specialised in depicting marginal groups in western societies contributed to an attempt to highlight these excluded segments of society, but they did not establish a social or historical approach specific to the reality of these marginalised entities.

The research of historians of the Annales School is considered a starting point for establishing new curricula as well as new approaches to historical writing and an important asset for researchers to write the history of societies from a new point of view that stems from the popular base and the nihilistic and marginal segments.

These historical approaches have undergone an important development with the historians of both fronts: those handling the study of the subordinates and those handling the study of the micro-history, with a focus on the forgotten ones in history such as the homeless, the needy and beggars and bringing them back to memory.

These approaches while researching the secrets of its social, economic, political, cultural and intellectual angle, then addressing the role of the urban side in highlighting these social groups with its various components as its most important polarizing space.
