Download or read book Elite Oral History Discourse written by Eva M. McMahan and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years, oral history has found increasing favor among social scientists and humanists, with scholars “rediscovering” the oral interview as a valuable method for obtaining information about the daily realities and historical consciousness of people, their histories, and their culture. One primary issue is the question of how the communicative performances of the interviewer and narrator jointly influence the interview. Using methods of conversation/discourse analysis, the author describes the collaborative processes that enable interviewers and narrators to interact successfully in the interview context.

Book Synopsis Oral History and Public Memories by : Paula Hamilton
Download or read book Oral History and Public Memories written by Paula Hamilton and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral history is inherently about memory, and when oral history interviews are used "in public," they invariably both reflect and shape public memories of the past. Oral History and Public Memories is the only book that explores this relationship, in fourteen case studies of oral history's use in a variety of venues and media around the world. Readers will learn, for example, of oral history based efforts to reclaim community memory in post-apartheid Cape Town, South Africa; of the role of personal testimony in changing public understanding of Japanese American history in the American West; of oral history's value in mapping heritage sites important to Australia's Aboriginal population; and of the way an oral history project with homeless people in Cleveland, Ohio became a tool for popular education. Taken together, these original essays link the well established practice of oral history to the burgeoning field of memory studies.

Book Synopsis Investigating a Corpus of Historical Oral Testimonies by : Chris Fitzgerald
Download or read book Investigating a Corpus of Historical Oral Testimonies written by Chris Fitzgerald and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating a Corpus of Historical Oral Testimonies guides the reader through the process of sourcing a relevant oral history archive for linguistic analysis, constructing a representative corpus out of this archive and analysing this using corpus tools. Focusing on the oral history archive at the Irish Bureau of Military History, this book shows how corpus linguistics can illuminate themes worthy of investigation that may otherwise remain hidden. This is exemplified through the investigation of how certainty is constructed in this archive through a number of expressions and which serves as a template for both how oral history can aid linguistic understanding and how corpus linguistics can contribute to oral history investigation. Highlighting why oral history archives are worthy of linguistic analysis and showing what readers can gain from blending linguistic tools and competencies with oral history data, this book is essential reading for all researchers and students working in the areas of corpus linguistics, discourse analysis and oral history.

Book Synopsis Interactive Oral History Interviewing by : Eva M. McMahan
Download or read book Interactive Oral History Interviewing written by Eva M. McMahan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this anthology represent, in the broadest sense, an interpretive perspective of inquiry that has flourished in oral history for the past 15 years. This perspective considers oral history interviews as subjective, socially constructed and emergent events; that is, understanding, interpretation, and meaning of lived experience are interactively constructed. The impetus for this volume was the editor's fascination with the multifaceted complexity of the oral history interview method coupled with the belief that, despite many books that address methodological issues, no single work takes as its focus those complex, interactive processes which constitute the oral history interview. The editors' purpose in developing this anthology, therefore, was to provide a variety of essays which taken together address the possibilities and constraints inherent in oral history interviewing.
Book Synopsis Narrative and Genre by : Mary Chamberlain
Download or read book Narrative and Genre written by Mary Chamberlain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any life story, whether a written autobiography or an oral testimony, is shaped not only by the reworkings of experience through memory and re-evaluation, but also art. Any communication has to use shared conventions not only of language itself but also the more complex expectations of 'genre': of the forms expected within a given context and type of communication. This collection of essays by internationl academics draws on a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities to examine how far the expectations and forms of genre shape different kinds of autobiography and influence what messages they can convey. After investigating the problem of genre definition, and tracing the evolution of genre as a concept, contributors explore such issues as: * How far can we argue that what people narrate in their autobiographical stories is selected and shaped by the reportoire of genre available to them? * To what extent is oral autobiography shaped by its social and cultural context? * What is the relationship between autobiographical sources and the ethnographer? Narrative and Genre presents exciting new debates in an emerging field and will encourage international and interdisciplinary debate. Its authors and contributors are scholars from the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, literary analysis, psychoanalysis, social history, and sociology.

Book Synopsis The Historiography of Contemporary Science and Technology by : Thomas Söderquist
Download or read book The Historiography of Contemporary Science and Technology written by Thomas Söderquist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ninety percent of all scientific history has been made during the last half century. So far, however, only a fraction of historical scholarship has dealt with this period. Merely a decade ago, most scientific historians considered recent science - the scientific culture created, lived and remembered by contemporary scientists - an area of study best left to the historical actors themselves.
