This blog is about one study that I'm doing for my thesis on oral history.
The project involves the collection of interviews among the inhabitants of my country, Mezzolombardo who have lived through the Second World War. The interviews collected will be edited and will be extrapolated about 5-6 minutes, and these statements will be placed online at a site that you will address when ready.
The project aims to reconstruct the period of World War II through the life stories of these people, I would like to reach an overall picture, however, will be built in the minds of those who listen to these testimonies, through experience of the narrator, because of what they lived and who will tell of their lives.
This study aims to collect and preserve memories, the memories of these people to make them known to all, because they are a very important resource and at the same time ephemeral therefore needs to be fixed. In fact, it derives its
thanks to the memories and experiences of people, knowledge of what happened yesterday is that we can better understand who we are today.
My project will be developed with the intention of historiography and even less anthropological, but artistic. I will try to cross the methods and practices of oral history with the new technologies available to us today (digital recorder, audio editing software, internet) to tell the story of my country.
A new method of dissemination of oral history and narrative of a community.
When I explained this to my mami told me that she seemed to go back in time, when I was little, because I always went to my grandmother and said, "Tell me a true story."
