The Ukrainian Oral History Association begins publishing papers from the UOHA-2024 conference “Oral History in Wartime: Academic Knowledge and the Researcher’s Responsibility” on our YouTube channel.
The first recording is a keynote lecture by the legend of oral history Alessandro Portelli “On the Uses of Memory” (13.06.2024).
Alessandro Portelli is an outstanding Italian historian, literary critic, and one of the pioneers of oral history in the world. His research, in particular the book “The Death of Luigi Trastulli”, has become a classic academic work, changing our understanding of oral history and its place in the formation of knowledge.
