Behind the mask: another perspective on the slavewomen's oral narratives

Lecaudey, Hélène 24 July 2012 (has links)
In the last twenty years, studies in Afro-American slavery have given special attention to the slave community and culture. They have emphasized the slaves' control over their lives, while glossing over the brutality of the institution of slavery. Slave women have been ignored until very recently, and those few historians who studied their lives have applied the same categories of inquiry used by traditional historians with a male perspective. The topic of interracial sexual relations crystallizes this problem. This issue has been left aside in most scholarly studies and, when mentioned, addressed more often than not from a male perspective. As sexual abuse, it exemplifies the harshness of slavery. The oral slave narratives, often referred to by the same historians, are one of the few primary sources by and on slave women. Yet, historians have not used them adequately in research on slave women, primarily because of inadequate conceptual frameworks. / Master of Arts

Borders and Belonging: Using Oral History to Renegotiate Salvadoran Transnationalism

Barreno, Jessica 01 January 2016 (has links)
This thesis elucidates new perspectives on transnational migration. The analysis draws from three oral histories that recount border-crossings and their unique impact on Salvadoran immigrant self-realization. The oral histories presented refine the study of transnational migration by providing valuable qualitative information that supplements and nuances empirical fact. The first subject, whose story takes place in the 1970s just before the outbreak of the Salvadoran civil war, constructs identity through an embrace of assimilationist practices. The second narrative, occurring just after the civil war, is of a woman who navigates hegemonic Anglo structures by appropriating a space of her own. The third subject, a man who immigrates in the wake of post-9/11 heightened security concerns, desires permanent settlement; however, his undocumented status prevents him from fully integrating into American mainstream society. Additionally, an analytical focus on transnationalism reveals an important relationship with gendered identities. Through close analysis, these narratives reveal how Salvadoran immigrants have renegotiated what it means to belong in the United States. Overall this thesis contributes to a relatively young and undeveloped line of research on Salvadoran migration, particularly through its focus on gender.

GROWING ECONOMIC POSSIBILITY IN APPALACHIA: STORIES OF RELOCALIZATION AND REPRESENTATION ON STINKING CREEK

Engle, Kathryn 01 January 2018 (has links)
This project explores the agricultural heritage and current social landscape of the Stinking Creek community of Knox County, Kentucky, and the legacy of the local nonprofit organization the Lend-A-Hand Center. Through participatory research, this project presents a reflexive account of the Lend-A-Hand Center Grow Appalachia Gardening Program examining the diverse economy of the Stinking Creek watershed and possibilities for new economic imaginings and post-coal futures for central Appalachia. This dissertation includes an oral history project, a theoretical examination, and an ethnographic reflection, bridging several literatures in the fields of agricultural history, Appalachian Studies, Participatory Action Research, research within the diverse economy framework, and feminist political ecology. For three years I coordinated the Grow Appalachia program through the Lend-A-Hand Center, developing agricultural initiatives in Knox County, working to re-localize food systems through home gardens, community gardens, and the establishment of the Knox County Farmers’ Market, and gathering stories through oral histories on the Creek. Problematizing the 1967 book Stinking Creek, by John Fetterman, this account of the community seeks to call attention to the importance of critical analyses of representations of people, processes, and places. In the face of pressing social issues in central Appalachia and renewed interest in the discourses of development, local food, and post-coal transition, this work seeks to intervene in region-wide discussions and suggest avenues for change and possibility. The Lend-A-Hand Center Grow Appalachia Gardening Program illustrates the potentials for community-based agriculture projects in the region to promote a variety of economic processes, foster and preserve agricultural traditions, and impact the conversation about outlooks for the region. This research provides policy and programmatic suggestions regarding the importance of relocalization of food systems and different (re)presentations of community narratives as part of a multifaceted agenda toward a just, sustainable future for eastern Kentucky and the region.

Etablování orální historie v českém prostředí / The Evolution of Oral History in the Czech Republic

Drahovzalová, Michala January 2019 (has links)
The presented study maps the topic of oral history development in the Czech Republic. The research, conducted mainly via oral history method, reflects the period since 1989 as this method could only be developed after the fall of the communist regime. The first part of the thesis deals with the chosen methodology, introduces the research topic and its objectives and clarifies the historical background. The second part of the thesis presents the analysis and interpretation of the collected material. I focus on the research projects that have been conducted via oral history and publication outputs. I try to put the researches within the broader context as well. Finally, I focus on the development of institutional background in the Czech Republic and mention central institutions where oral history method is being used. I emphasize on insights and views of my narrators who are themselves active participants in the process of establishing oral history in the Czech Republic. Key words Oral history, qualitative methods, project Sto studentských revolucí, Institute of Contemporary History, Czech Oral History Association

Kolektivní paměť Dejvic, Bubenče, Lysolaje, Šárky a Suchdola mezi druhou světovou válkou a gentrifikací / Collective memory of Dejvice, Bubeneč, Lysolaje, Šárka and Suchdol betwen Second World War and gentrification

Zmeškal, Tomáš January 2020 (has links)
(in English): Master thesis examines specific aspects of collective memory of parts of Prague 6, especially districts Dejvice, Bubeneč, Lysolaje, Šárka and Suchdol. These former municipalities are at Prague's outskirts and their marginalization supported some specific local narratives: legends and rumours. In this area gentrification went through since the beginning 21th century and is coming to an end. Gentrification to certain extend ends the social life of narratives, which originated in the 1950s. Master theses researched, how the narratives changed, for instance ones about former malting plant or brick factories. Another researched aspect is continual change of spatial appropriations of this part of Prague and its territorialisation within the framework of local culture: in the local memory there are partially deposited memories of local youth gang fights, which divided territories in Dejvice and Bubeneč at the late 1950s and early 1960s. During the field research the legend about "Roklák" was collected in Podbaba. The research also captured the change of usage of former locations of industrial plants and the continual process of their gentrification.

Television for women : generation, gender and the everyday

Collie, Hazel January 2014 (has links)
This study is part of the AHRC funded project “A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947-1989”. The research is based upon the data gathered from interviews carried out with thirty geographically and generationally dispersed women about their memories of watching television in Britain between 1947 and 1989. I have used generation and gender as analytical categories, and have paid particular attention to the role of memory work in this type of historical research. This thesis aims to build upon previous work which has investigated the connection between generation and interaction with popular culture, but which has not theorised those relationships (Press, 1991; Moseley, 2002). The shifts and, indeed, continuities in the lives of different generations of British women are considered to gain a sense of the importance of generation in the production of identity. Significant differences arose between generations in terms of reflexivity and around questions of quality, value and taste as generations intersected with feminist and neoliberal cultures at different life stages. What was particularly interesting, however, was that despite the dramatic social change wrought by this post-war period, the narratives of women of different generations were surprisingly similar in terms of their everyday lives. Their memories largely centred around domestic relationships, and the women’s role as mother was often central to these. Following my investigation of the significance of motherhood to women’s production of gendered identity I consider the moments which disrupted that pattern and where women are enabled to conceive of an identity outside their familial role. Talk around pop music programming and desire had generational significance in the production of individual identities, again pointing to the importance of generation as an analytical category.

Skådespelare, kostymer och kontrakt : en bortglömde del av teater- och kostymhistorien

Carlberg, Marianne January 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this study - Actors, costumes and agreements - is to highlight an almost forgotten part of the history of theatre costume and theatre history.  During at least two hundred years actors in Sweden were expected to contribute to the performance by their costumes. The study is divided into three parts: agreements, memoirs and conversation. Nine agreements between theatres and actors from 1778 to 1971 will be analyzed with focus on costumes. What do they express about the period, fashion and repertoire, audience? The theatres demand of the actors could be very detailed and shifting. Three memoire books and conversation with seven actors represent the actors view. Questions arise about actors poor economy, theatre culture and gender. The study will also show periods with connection between fashion and theatre costume.
