Over the past ten years, digital archives documenting underrepresented communities have been rising. For example, oral and print historical projects about minoritized communities and ethnic cultural ...heritage centers have existed for decades (Daniel, 2010), yet few are fully accessible online. The increased presence of these types of archives points not only to the need to document the histories of these communities but also to the interest in making this work accessible to all. There is an urgency in documenting, archiving, and curating histories—audio, print, video, and other ephemera—because minoritized communities have consistently faced exclusion from majority historical documents. As precarious and essential as this work is, important projects like the one discussed here are often shared as an in-process version. This process allows us to shape and consider new ways of archiving, perhaps even disrupting traditional collecting and accessioning methods beyond canonical (White) standards. This article shows our interest in developing a decolonized model for archiving digital oral history collections. Indeed, much of the way we are thinking about making the collection accessible is by centering it on bilingual descriptions of each item in the collection signals a non-traditional and, thus, decolonial way of documenting a community. “Archiving Bilingual Latin@ Oral Histories” is an initiative to make an already existing digital oral history archive accessible to the community it documents. From collecting stories, accessioning, and website design and content, it seeks to work collaboratively with students and the community to present a bilingual archive representing the Latina/o/x community in Ohio.
Denne artikel søgte at undersøge kønsidentiteternes rolle i erindringsdannelsen om Holocaust gennem en analyse af 46 Oral History video interviews, der beskrev kvindeligt vagtpersonale i de ...nazistiske koncentrationslejre. Samtidig søgtes en vurdering af kønsteoriens brugbarhed i holocaustforskningen og en forståelse af, hvordan køn påvirkede beskrivelserne af gerningsmændene. Det teoretiske fundament var det socialkonstruktivistiske kønssyn, kønsstereotyper og kønnede diskurser. Artiklen argumenterer for, at køn havde en tydelig effekt på erindringskonstruktionen: De kvindelige vidner anvendte kvindelige kønsstereotyper til at nedgøre voldelige vagter og til at rose dem som ydede assistance. Samtidigt blev skønhedsidealer, sex og homoseksualitet også brugt som fundament for negative diskurser. Selvom det kun var muligt at spore kønnede diskurser i 19 af vidnesbyrdene, danner resultaterne et solidt bevis for køns indflydelse på holocaust-minder. En udforskning af kønnede diskurser i behandlingen af det mandlige vagtpersonale ville være en naturlig udvidelse af denne artikel og ville ekspandere forståelsen af kønnede diskurser generelt.
This article discusses the relationship between history and memory, focusing on the relevance and role of subjectivity and oral sources in contemporary Italian historiography. Starting from a review ...of Gabriella Gribaudi's La memoria, i traumi, la storia. La guerra e le catastrofi nel Novecento, the article looks at a particularly interesting historiographical debate this book raised. It then reflects in more general terms on how the relationship between oral history and history without adjectives has evolved from the 1970s to the present, pointing to some key questions that remain open to discussion.
Los cambios tecnológicos y los aspectos legales relacionados con la protección de datos personales están planteando nuevas cuestiones que imponen, en primer lugar, una reflexión metodológica sobre la ...responsabilidad y la esfera deontológica de quienes investigan y enseñan con fuentes orales. A lo largo de 10 años, la Asociación Italiana de Historia Oral (AISO) ha elaborado reflexiones y documentos al respecto; entre ellos, el texto Buenas prácticas para la historia oral, publicado por primera vez en 2015 y luego revisado en 2020 para responder a la nueva legislación de la UE sobre protección de datos. El ensayo surge de una confrontación de la experiencia italiana y europea con el grupo de trabajo sobre ética de la investigación del Foro de Humanidades, Ciencias Sociales, Ciencias Sociales Aplicadas, Lingüística, Letras y Artes (FCHSSALLA). Consta de tres partes: el proceso de redacción del documento de Buenas Prácticas de la AISO; la recepción de las Buenas Prácticas y el impacto de la legislación de la UE sobre protección de datos; la cuestión de los archivos orales y el debate sobre la Ciencia Abierta y su aplicación en la investigación académica y la vida universitaria.
Hrsg. von Erhard Roy Wiehn. Hrsg. Der Wechsel zwischen oft bürokratisch klingenden, aber immer wieder in den menschenverachtenden Mordjargon fallenden deutschen Berichten und Anordnungen und den ...drastischen Darstellungen der sich dahinter verbergenden Realität durch die Opfer (von denen die meisten der Ermordung nicht entgingen) ist ein Vorzug dieser Edition. Und eher unglaubliche Dokumente, wie den Bericht eines SS-Offiziers aus Chełm, der schon im Januar 1940 einen Transport mit 800 Juden einfach erschießen ließ, weil die Waggons "unzumutbar" verdreckt gewesen seien (S. 4/204), was natürlich an den von den Deutschen gestalteten Transportumständen lag. In einem Interview muss vieles improvisiert werden - gerade dort, wo Historiker Konkretes erwarten (was in diesem Fall durchaus befriedigt wird), ist es vielleicht den Interviewten wichtiger, Gefühle auszudrücken - was je nach Fragestellung ja gerade das ist, was oral history im Unterschied zu konventionellen historischen Akten-Quellen bieten kann.
The text presents reflexions stemming from experiences gained during the creation of oral history films within the framework of activities for NGOs. The authors focus on ethical problems and their ...specifics (in connection with the ethical issues arising from academic research using oral history method).
Legends that contain many social and cultural elements of a society are known commonly among the public. Legends which told for the purpose of taking a share of living events and transfer these to ...the next generations deal with many events that take place in daily life. The exemplary stories, which lived in human history turn into precautions taken by the society with the repetition of legends which are faith-based narratives among the public. Legends settled in public almost as a warning to prevent misconduct, injustice, viciousness etc. Not to do about a subject, situation and event are listed and explained with examples. Customs about social unconscious transferred to individuals of that society with these narratives. Myths that already existed widely in many cities of Turkey, in particular helps the precautions taken to be permanent by petrifaction motif. Legends told around the names of villages, places, and dwellings ensure that this geography is owned. These texts, which are transferred by focusing on people who have a voice in a society, find an important place among the oral cultural narratives as one of the precautions taken to prevent a mistake among the public or to eliminate the deficiency. In this study, the legends which is in Prof. Dr. Saim Sakaoğlu's 101 Anatolian Legends (1976) were scanned. The precautions taken for the attitudes and behaviors that should not be done in the society were determined with the examples selected from the narratives aforementioned and they were put forward as one of the functions of the legend genre.
The Turkish narrative tradition has reached its peak intellectually in terms of narrative technique and ability to construct plots from the first ages of history to the present day. The cognitive ...level of Turks, which transforms the dialectical relationship that it has established with the universe into a possibility of expression for the narrator, has worked out the holistic and continual existence of the universe on a dynamic level through the narratives it has produced. In this regard, Altai Turks have also interpreted life through mythical narratives throughout the historical process and comprehended the dynamic dimension of the universe. Similarly, it can be said that each narrative contains the social and cultural dynamics of the society in which it is created. Therefore, narrators who enrich the narrative with style and fluidity, externalize the narratives with mythical referrals by constructing the narratives with their own techniques. The dialectical relationship between the narrator and the audience is also of great importance in creating the narratives in a certain performance setting. Mariya Mihaylovna, born in 1927, whom we met in the Ulagan jama of the Altai Autonomous Republic in 2012, within the scope of the project “Compilation and Recording of Oral Cultural Products in the Altai Autonomous Republic (Ulagan and Onguday Aymaks) of the Russian Federation”, has all the characteristics of the active tradition as a storyteller. In this study, Mariya Mikhailovna's fairy-tale performance technique will be examined and interpreted in the light of performance theory (in personal-social and verbal dimension).
This article adds to a growing body of literature that aims to correct the traditional lack of attention to the role of women lawyers who have exercised their power as active citizens by ...participating in legal reform and facilitating access to social justice for all Australians. The paper highlights the unique contribution to gender equality of one such woman, Eve Mahlab AO, through a close examination of her oral history, which was drawn from the pilot stage of a project that now comprises a corpus of over fifty interviews recorded with 'trailblazing' Australian women lawyers. The methodology adopted is innovative in combining a legal analysis and a discourse analysis of the interview with Eve Mahlab. This approach offers insights into those aspects of her personal and professional biography that most influenced and enabled her contributions in the public and private spheres, allowing us to publicly acknowledge and record them. The paper demonstrates how such use of oral history broadens and deepens our understanding of the diverse social and professional forces that shape political consciousness and motivate feminist engagement in civic activity.
