This research explores the interconnection between oral history, documentary film and the emerging field of interactive documentary as an interdisciplinary creative strategy for telling factual stories of war and trauma. In doing so, it recognises the problematic nature of broadcast television documentary where uneven power structures can negatively affect authorship and story. The objective of this research was to ease this tension with the development of a new creative practice model in the field of documentary story telling, as an alternative form of representation. The immediacy, polyvocality and accessibility offered by this new form of communication and technology, when coupled with oral history and documentary film, is particularly suited to projects where marginalised communities seek to make sense of their experience, and to challenge existing histories. I have developed an innovative synthesis between the three approaches to factual storytelling, which I call Oral History Interactive Documentary (OHID). As a means of factual, multi-narrative storytelling, this approach is designed to meet participants’ need to speak and be heard on their own terms and in their own words, rather than through ‘hierarchical media as a forum for privileged voices’ (Mitchell 2015, p.9). My development of OHID is based on a dataset of 150 audio-visual original oral history interviews conducted with returned Australian Vietnam War soldiers, who fought at the Battle of Coral Balmoral in May 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. It was the biggest and bloodiest battle fought by Australians, with more Australian soldiers killed in this engagement than at any other time during the Vietnam War. However, the Coral Balmoral soldiers’ repatriation back to Australia in 1969 was troubled as it coincided with major historical, social and cultural shifts in Australian society. The re-casting of the previously secure Australian national identity, largely founded in the legend of Anzac, resulted in the soldiers’ exclusion from imperatives linked to nationalism and masculinity. Instead, the returned Coral Balmoral soldiers found themselves in an uneasy relationship with an Australian society unable to reconcile a gallant military history with the contentious war in Vietnam. It is within these warfare and post-war socio-cultural experiences that the oral history interviews I conducted sought to record the veterans’ memories. To better understand the relationship between telling stories of war and trauma, oral history, documentary film and its potential interconnection with interactivity, Sandra Gaudenzi’s (2013) taxonomy of four modes of interactivity was critically applied and tested against a range of conflict themed interactive documentaries. Critical analysis of these i-docs helped shape ideas of how interactive documentary enables authorship and agency. Rethinking ideas of authorship and inviting co-creation collaboration, opened new possibilities in digital space for multiple and layered storytelling. Importantly for the Coral Balmoral community, it allowed for the emergence of contradiction leading to new interpretative possibilities. Making obvious the synergies between interactive documentary, oral history and documentary film enabled me to design a creative strategy and practice model for authentic telling of stories of war and conflict. As a result, I have developed and tested the first contemporary single battle post-conflict oral history interactive documentary prototype, 26 Days: The Battle of Coral Balmoral. This practice-led inquiry shaped my own professional practice as a screen media artist. The synergy between oral history, documentary film and interactive documentary has enabled me to bridge a gap in current factual broadcast storytelling, that suffers from a lack of informed, documented strategies. This research also looks beyond linear, hierarchical television documentary as a favoured factual storytelling platform to a new model of communication by offering a strategy that transcends some of the limitations of time-based storytelling. By offering a collaborative and three-tiered storytelling system, operating in a spatial and temporal environment, the OHID strategy provides a multi-tiered, organic framework through which witness accounts are recorded, organised, cohesively presented and engaged with by a user audience. In this way, the OHID strategy provides a framework that builds storytelling arenas for ideas and plots to unfold freely, run parallel to each other, or be completely contradictory. In so doing, OHID breaks authorial codes, whether political, social, geographical or institutional. Finally, the OHID strategy encourages collaboration that empowers marginalised communities to present many and alternative versions of experiences, in a way that opens opportunities for new knowledge and understanding. The Interactive Oral History Documentary 26 Days: The Battle of Coral Balmoral can be found at www.fsbcoral.org Please note that all active oral history interviews are marked with a white star in a green circle.

Tarih disiplinin sınırlarını aşarak farklı sosyal ve beşerî bilim dalları tarafından da kullanılan sözlü tarih, yirminci yüzyılın en popüler veri toplama metotlarından biri olarak karşımıza çıkar. Sözlü tarihin özellikle 1970’lerden itibaren giderek yaygınlaşmasının sebebi yakın tarihi inceleyen araştırmacılara sunduğu potansiyellerle ilintilidir. Sözlü tarih henüz otobiyografilerini yazmamış liderlerin, yerel, ulusal ve uluslararası düzlemde karar verme merciinde bulunan seçilmiş ve atanmış bürokratların belgelenmemiş deneyimlerine erişim sağlayabilmeyi olanaklı kıldığı gibi işçiler, kadınlar, etnik azınlıklar, marjinal ve dezavantajlı grupların tarih anlatısında yer almasını mümkün kılmaktadır. Sözlü tarih 1970’lerden itibaren hem yaygınlaşmış hem de sıkça eleştirilmiştir. 1980’lerin sonundan itibaren gerek bu eleştiriler ve gerekse sosyal ve beşerî bilimlerdeki teorik tartışmalar neticesinde, sözlü tarih içinde farklı eğilim ve yorumlama biçimlerini barındıran ve birçok disiplinden beslenen yöntem olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Avrupa ve Kuzey Amerika’da 1960’ların sonunda ivme kazanmaya başlayan sözlü tarih Türkiye’de akademik literatüre eklemlenmesi 1990’ların başına rastlar. 1990’lardan bugüne kadar Türkiye’de sözlü tarihin gelişimine bakıldığında sözlü tarih çalışmalarının geçmişin daha kapsayıcı bir şekilde yazılmasını mümkün kılmak için farklı tarihsel zemin, olay ve aktörlere odaklandığını söylemek mümkündür. Fakat gerek Batı gerekse Batı dışı coğrafyalarda yapılan sözlü tarih çalışmaları ile kıyaslandığında, Türkiye’de sözlü tarihe dayanan akademik çalışmaların ve sözlü tarih projelerinin hem sayısal anlamda çok az hem de sözlü tarihin potansiyelini yansıtacak kadar konu ve yaklaşım çeşitliliğine sahip olmadığı gözlemlenir. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışma, bu konuda Türkiye içinde ve dışında üretilen literatürü eleştirel bir şekilde okuyarak, sözlü tarih yönteminin ne olduğunu, neden ortaya çıktığını, sözlü tarih çalışmalarının yıllar içinde nasıl ve neden dönüştüğünü ve son olarak sözlü tarih yönteminin günümüz Türkiye’sinin yakın tarih yazımında kullanımını inceleyecektir.

The chapter describes an oral history project integrated into a History of Canadian Education course in a preservice teacher education program. The course addressed the overarching critical inquiry question: To what extent has contemporary schooling been shaped by its history? Over the term, the students investigated related questions that explored change and continuity in curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment; children’s experience of schooling; the schooling of ethnic, linguistic, and racial minorities; and the nature of teachers’ work. Integrating an oral history interview into the course offered students unique and powerful opportunities to engage in their own historical inquiries and develop historical thinking skills. The oral history interviews provided the opportunity for the students to confront many challenging elements of oral histories as a source of evidence. By examining change and continuity in teaching, exploring the causes and consequences of educational change, and seeking to understand historical perspectives, the oral history projects empowered the students to question past policies, contemporary values, and easy generalizations about “best practices” in teaching. But there were some significant and enduring issues in Canadian schooling the student teachers were not forced to confront. In some ways the oral history interviews presented the student teachers with an idealized past that allowed them to avoid the moral complexities of considering fundamental changes to the current structures of public schooling.

Resilience theory has received increased attention from researchers across a range of disciplines who have developed frameworks and articulated categories of indicators; however, there has been less discussion of how to recognize, and therefore support, social resilience at the community level, especially in urban areas. The value of urban environmental stewardship for supporting social-ecological functioning and improving quality of life in cities has been documented, but recognizing it as a strategy for strengthening social resilience to respond to future disturbances has not been fully explored. Here we address the question: How can social resilience indicators be operationalized as stewardship practices in an urban context? Using a deductive coding approach drawing upon existing resilience frameworks we analyze qualitative data from community managed-open spaces in the New York City area that have responded to various chronic presses and acute disturbances including a hurricane and a terrorist attack. In each case we identify and characterize the type of grounded, empirically observable stewardship practices that demonstrate the following indicators of social resilience at the community level: place attachment, social cohesion, social networks, and knowledge exchange and diversification. The process of operationalizing abstract indicators of social resilience has important implications for managers to support social (and ecological) resilience in the specific areas where stewardship takes place, as well as potentially having greater effects that bridge beyond the spatial and temporal boundaries of the site. We conclude by suggesting how researchers and practitioners might learn from our examples so they can recognize resilience in other sites in order to both inform research frameworks and strengthen practice and programming, while keeping larger institutional structures and context in mind.

A qualitative research method that has not been extensively used in accounting research is the oral history interview. This paper describes how to use oral history interviewing. It presents two examples of collected oral histories. One collection is with Maurice Stans, former Nixon confidant, U.S. Commerce Secretary, and Watergate defendant. A second oral history is collected from Tim Sasak. Mr. Sasak, a former CPA, was convicted of using a Ponzi scheme to steal millions from his investors. The interviews demonstrate the methodologies used in conducting an oral history interview and their adaption for publication in refereed journals.

The problem of preserving historical and cultural elements in the modern urban environment is revealed in view of their role in shaping the identity, cultural memory and sustainable development of cities. The issue of functional activity as the basis for the emergence of the city is considered. The article reveals the issues of regularities of functioning of historical and cultural elements in the modern urban environment, taking into account their spatial transformation under the influence of urban processes. The main trends are considered: the multifunctionalisation of urban space and the increase in the diversity of types of monofunctional cities. The stability of the main functions of such elements - cultural, social, symbolic and spatial-compositional - in the context of changes in the urban landscape, their main characteristics and functional significance are considered. The key factors influencing the preservation of the functionality of historical and cultural objects are highlighted, including the typology of the urban environment, the level of public participation, and institutional mechanisms for the protection and use of cultural heritage. The article considers the issues of archaeological territories, their inclusion in the List of Historical Settlements of Ukraine and prohibitions on urban planning, architectural or landscape transformations, construction, reclamation, road and earthworks without the permission of the relevant cultural heritage protection authority. It is shown that the effective functioning of historical and cultural sites is possible only with an integrated approach that combines legal, spatial, social and technological tools. The article highlights the peculiarities of spatial transformation, in particular, the shift of functional axes, changes in the architectural context and the role of interactive mapping technologies in visualising changes, which increase the depth of spatial analysis and allow for effective identification of trends, anomalies and vulnerable areas. The importance of integrating digital tools into the decision-making process regarding cultural heritage in the context of dynamic urban development is emphasised.

Oral life history narratives are a promising method to promote person-centered values of personhood and belonging. This project used resident oral history interviews to educate staff members in an assisted-living setting about personhood. A single group pre-post test design evaluated impacts on 37 staff members to assess their use of resident videotaped oral history interviews and impacts on their perceived knowledge of residents. Perceived knowledge of residents declined (p = .003) between pretest and posttest. Older staff members were less likely to view a video. Staff members are interested in resident oral history biographies and identify them as helpful for delivering care. Oral history methods might provide an opportunity for staff members to promote personhood by allowing them to expand their understanding of resident preferences, values, and experiences.

This paper examines the story of the last female drifters in Iceland from the voices of women who remembered them. It examines the advantages of the woman-on-woman oral history interview when obtaining women’s perspectives on women’s history. An examination of women’s narrative techniques suggests that women’s narrative style is often consistent with a conversational style; and therefore it is important to construct a space in woman-on-woman oral history interviews that carries a sense of place for a conversation. It also examines the woman-on-woman oral history interview as a continuation of women’s oral tradition in Iceland, especially an oral tradition from medieval Iceland; called a narrative dance (ice. sagnadans). Lastly, it examines the shared features of the Icelandic #Metoo event stories and the Icelandic narrative dances, in relation to woman-on-woman oral history interviews.

In this article, the author seeks to open a discussion of explicit talk about remembering in oral history interviews. He explores ways of talking about remembering and forgetfulness in oral history interviews and the effects of such talk on the interview relationship as well as on the process of recall itself. The article provides examples of collaborative remembering between the narrator and the interviewer, the recall of specific details and reports of exceptional clarity of memory as well as justifications of faulty memory. Reported speech in oral history narratives is considered as a clear case of constructing as opposed to remembering the past. Throughout, the author frames questions concerning the significance of talk about remembering and forgetfulness for the evaluation of the events and personal identities expressed in the oral history interview.

Oral history is a research method that documents migrants' experiences through in-depth recorded and archived narrative interviews; it is also a social practice and a process of identity construction. This chapter breaks new ground in oral history and homing studies by relating oral history to practices of homing. It argues that oral history documents and engages in practices of homing in three distinct ways: First, oral history as a research method allows interlocutors to tell and document stories about journeys and homing; second, as an interactive human and social encounter, oral history interviews in themselves constitute a storytelling journey; third, as a (semi-)public performance, oral history allows individuals and groups to engage in a dialogue with a wider public about home. The conclusion suggests that oral history functions also as a practice of homing for the interviewers, which allows them to reflect further on how to discuss home in interviews.
