Long Shadows over New Beginnings? Oral History in Contemporary China
Oral history has a long, complex, and at times troubled history in China. This article reviews a few aspects of the twentieth-century history of oral history in China and the more recent development of oral history in this broader context. I argue that oral historians may profit from learning more about the rich and difficult path oral history took in China in the twentieth century. I hope to stimulate a debate among oral historians in China and …
Os Animais que Confessam”
Os historiadores orais se concentram há muito tempo na entrevista como principal método de pesquisa e defendem antecedentes que remontam à antiguidade, porém, eles não têm estudado a história de longa duração da entrevista. Este artigo é uma exploração preliminar do modo como os historiadores orais podem começar a escrever uma história da entrevista que enfatize as semelhanças estruturais entre práticas tão distintas como as confissões religiosas…
Under Storytelling’s Spell? Oral History in a Neoliberal Age
Storytelling—in the form of public talk about oneself—has become a new social phenomenon over the past quarter century. The case of StoryCorps illuminates how autobiographical (often confessional) storytelling in public comes out of the simultaneous democratization and neoliberalization of Western society since the 1970s. The storytelling phenomenon, which frequently aligns itself with (or appropriates) oral history, reinforces neoliberal values …
Is It Enough to 'Speak Haredi'? Cultural Sensitivity in Social Workers Encountering Jewish Ultra-Orthodox Clients in Israel
Cultural sensitivity is expressed in every therapeutic session, in particular when working with communities characterised by specific internal cultural codes, such as the Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox Jewish) community in Israel. The present article explores how social workers express their cultural sensitivity in encounters with Haredi clients. A qualitative research was conducted, consisting of thirty-three in-depth interviews with social workers inte…
Transnationalizing Home in Winnipeg
This article asks how refugees narrate home. Based on extensive interviews (oral histories) with refugees in Winnipeg, Manitoba, who arrived from Europe after the Second World War, from Central America during the 1980s, and from Afghanistan during the 2000s, this article argues that refugees are continually engaged in the process of making home, not only in the sending and receiving countries, but also in countries along their often complex and l…
Confessing Animals”
Oral historians have long focused on the interview as a central research method and claimed antecedents stretching back to antiquity, but they have not studied the longue durée history of the interview. This article is a preliminary exploration of how oral historians might begin to write a history of the interview that emphasizes structural similarities among such diverse practices as religious and legal confessions, medical anamneses and psychoa…

Contesting the Meanings of Migration
Twenty-five thousand German women immigrated to Canada as domestic servants between 1947 and 1962. Pushed by West German society that was increasingly hostile to women's employment and emancipation, the female migrants, in their search for freedom, independence, and adventure, used Canadian immigration schemes that were based on patriarchal and paternalistic understandings of gender and class. The male Canadian bureaucrats who recruited the Germa…
