Affirmation of Oral History in the Context of Narrative Historiography
Keywords:
oral history, history of events, history of structures, narrative historiographyAbstract
The various historiographical approaches differ from one another mostly in that some advocate history as a narrative, a history of events and individuals, while others see history as a set of structures or long eras. The article focuses primarily on the turn towards an assessment of narration in historiography, or the “linguistic turn” that was the product of narrative historiography. One factor that contributed to this was oral history, which developed in the 1970s. In the 1980s the history of marginal social strata opened up some methodological issues that enabled oral history to establish itself within historiography.
