Dear Friends & Colleagues,
this is a Call for Paper in a Panel Proposal for the Oral History
Association Meeting, Concordia University, Montreal, 10-13 October, 2018.
Panel proposal: '*Our challenging times: The possibilities and limits of
oral history in Turkey*'
Oral history remains relatively new and weakly institutionalized in Turkey.
Academics and activists enthusiastically “discovered” oral history in the
last two decades as issues of history, memory, and identity became widely
debated both nationally and globally. It seemed as if oral history could be
one of the means by which Turkish society would come to terms with its
violent and silenced past. Significant research projects have been
initiated to date. At a time when the country is experiencing the most
serious threat to democracy in its recent history, speakers in this panel
will take stock of oral history in Turkey. How do social actors define oral
history, and why do they choose to engage in it? How do they conduct oral
history? Who is their audience, and what are the products of their
research? What is at stake in the proliferation of oral history research? What
are the limits on oral history research, teaching and writing in our
challenging times? The various and divergent perspectives and unique
research experiences of the speakers will open up a debate on the state of
society and oral history in Turkey today.
Organized by:
Prof Leyla Neyzi (Sabanci University) and Dr Lorenzo D'Orsi (Centre
of Southeast
European Studies, University of Graz).
Deadline January, 31.
Please get in touch immediately if you would like to present a paper:
