Winter School in
Oral History 2017
Bengaluru,
Karnataka
Call for
Applications
The Centre for
Public History, Bangalore announces the third Winter School on ‘The Inner Life
of Interviews: Oral history and Inter-subjectivity’ to be held from November 1
to 10, 2017 in Bangalore. The Winter School, the first of its kind in India,
began in 2013 with a focus on the role played by oral history in documenting
social change. The last two editions of Winter School in Oral History were very
successful.
This year’s
Winter School will explore the modes of meaning making within a life story
interview, delving deeper into the positions of interviewer and interviewee and
the relationships formed between them. The life story interview and the role of
the interviewer have defined the field of oral history in significant ways and
we seek to further examine the subjectivities that inform the practice. Some of
the questions we seek to address are:
How is an oral
history interview different from other forms of interviewing?
What shapes the
dynamic between interviewer and interviewee? What are the ethical implications
of engaging in such a practice? Have technological advancements blurred the
boundaries between interviewer and interviewee?
This course will
address these issues in a global context with examples from India and other
South Asian countries, United States, and Italy.
The facilitators
include eminent oral historians and practitioners like Alessandro Portelli
(Italy), Martha Norkunas (USA), Anne Valk (USA), Indira Chowdhury (India), Nina
Sabnani (India), and Deepa Dhanraj (India) among others who will present the
latest research approaches through examples from their own work.
The Winter School
aims to have 20-25 participants who will have the opportunity to discuss their
projects with the faculty.
The last date for
the submission of applications is September 30, 2017.
