| Title | METHODS AND POLITICS OF THE PRESENTATION OF MEMORY IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE - THE WOMEN`S MEMORY PROJECT |
| Summary | Assessing published oral history interviews from an academic point of view entails many questions in terms of ethics, audience, methodology, and theory. Additionally, the history and memory debate is necessary to address along with the question of how funding of such projects is allocated. Taking the example of the oral history International Women’s Memory Project in Central and Southeastern Europe, I am examining how this project, carried out with a feminist approach to oral history, is speaking to the relationship between history and memory. How does the particular application of the method reflect on the interview as a text and what are the choices in publishing interviewees’ representations of the past? What kind of possible consequences on the body of knowledge and the audience do these choices epitomize? I draw to a close by acknowledging the advantages of the oral history method and evaluating the forms in which oral history is published. I also raise questions concerning the allocation of the funding for such a project and I conclude that the highest research standards and training shows in the quality of the finished research. |
