• CFP: Workshop současné technologie

Venue: Riddel Hall, Queen’s University Belfast, 185 Stranmillis Road, Belfast BT9 5EE

Date: Thursday 28 and Friday 29 June 2018

This joint conference of the Oral History Society and the Oral History Network of Ireland addresses the ethical and legal implications of oral history research. It presents a timely opportunity to explore the many issues raised by challenging projects, such as: What is an acceptable level of risk for interviewees/interviewers in the oral history process? What are the new responsibilities of the oral historian in a digital age?  What are the rewards for initiating ‘dangerous’ oral history projects on ‘difficult’ topics, and when do the risks outweigh them?  From this starting point, the conference organisers wish to solicit papers on all aspects of risk, responsibilities and rewards – and offer the following suggestions, whilst also welcoming other imaginative proposals addressing our theme of dangerous oral histories.

Conference sub-themes include:

• Methodology: personal safety, dangerous practices, the ethics of interviewing
• Risks and challenges for researchers: copyright, ownership and consent
• Interviewing on the edge: criminals, illegals, war survivors
• Working with victims: adapting process, practice and outputs
• Oral histories of conflict and struggle: community activists, security personnel, ex-combatants
• Oral history in totalitarian and post-totalitarian societies
• Oral histories of disasters and catastrophes
• Oral history’s relationship with official secrecy and security
• Interviewee risk in sharing/telling stories: re-traumatisation, ruptures within families/workplaces/communities
• Justice contexts: prison-based oral history
• Oral history, trauma and abuse: the unspoken
• Illness, death and end-of-life narratives
• Environmental risk and danger: disasters
• Work-based hazards and accidents
• Discord and danger in community history
• Sexuality narratives: discrimination, illness, illegality
• Reuse of archived oral histories on challenging and controversial topics
• Practical strategies for interviewers working in dangerous areas
• Ways of mitigating risk: risk assessment, training, the role of ethics committees
• Responsible collection and archiving practices: including the implications of the Boston College Project
• Teaching dangerous oral histories
• Museums as ‘safe’ spaces for dangerous and challenging oral histories

The International Oral History Association is pleased to announce the call for papers for the next congress in 2018. The XX IOHA Congress will be held from June 18 to 20, 2018 in Jyväskylä, Finland. The congress is hosted by the University of Jyväskylä, the Finnish Literature Society, and the Finnish Oral History Network. The theme of the XX IOHA Congress is Memory and Narration.

The main focus of the congress is on the complex and multidimensional nature of oral history. Oral history and life story research can be carried out from numerous perspectives. We invite papers that address the methodological issues related to the production and analysis of oral histories and life stories. We especially encourage contributions related to oral history sources as narratives/narration and applications of methodological theories and practices.

We therefore look forward to receiving abstracts on the following themes:

–       Archived oral history
–       Personal and shared narratives
–       Transgenerational memory
–       Class, gender, age and memory
–       Traditions, folklore and history
–       Oral history and different disciplines
–       New waves of oral history
–       Oral history, theory and ethics
–       Oral history sources as narratives
–       Oral history and narrative theory

The XX IOHA Congress coincides with the anniversary of two important events in Finnish history, the centennial of the 1918 Finnish Civil War as well as the end of World War I. The congress organizers would therefore like to welcome also contributions that address  memory of war and other conflicts, narratives of survival, intergenerational war memories and communities of commemoration.

The official language of the congress is English, but presentations in Spanish will also be accepted.
