In good oral tradition we sat under a tree at lunchtime and one of our #oralhistory elders told us some stories. With many thanks to Rob Perks for sharing his fieldwork memories from visiting Ukraine and Russian in 1991. @OralHistorySoc #OHSHOME22

Today’s discussions on ‘…emotions, relations & dynamics in the analysis of an archived interview’ remind us that listening to & watching #oralhistory interviews is crucial - so much lost in transcript, how objs. differ v interviewers & narrators, and the balance of power v them.

[@HyPIROHRG @hypirohrg]

On Wednesday 1 May we will be discussing ‘Tuning In: Emotions, Relations, and Dynamics in the Analysis of an Archived Interview by Andrea Althaus et al. DM me and join us at 12.30 (UK time). #oralhistory all welcome

Today we read Pagenstecher’s text #Oralhistory in digital environments So much to think about inc. the changing nature of interviewees’ stories - over time, no of diff. interviews, who asks the ?s - & risk of marginalising the voices of those who are not our ‘go to’ interviews 🤯
