Programma
The course is intended to provide students with opportunities to become familiar with theoretical and practical issues in collecting, interpreting, and preserving oral remembrances. Students will also gain experience in conducting, processing, and interpreting their own interviews.
Furthermore, this seminar will deal with the various steps that need to be taken when one embarks on an oral history project, focussing on the preparation, conducting and processing of the interview. First of all, the different types of interview – especially the life story and the structured and semi-structured interview – will be illustrated. After discussing possible topics for an oral history project, we will concentrate on the selection of potential informants and the importance of conducting preliminary reading to collect background information about the subject under investigation. Such information, in fact, proves very useful when preparing a list of relevant questions to be asked during the interview. From this we will proceed to the analysis of question lists and interview guidelines employed in major oral history projects. Students will then be offered practical advice on how to carry out successful interviews, on the best ways to establish a fruitful relationship with informants and maintain it throughout the interview.
The second part of this course will adopt a hands-on approach to the subject, furthering students’ knowledge through a process of learning by doing. In fact, participants in the seminar will be asked to put into practice what they have learnt, preparing for, conducting, processing and interpreting their own interviews.
