"Do Grandmas Have Husbands?" Generational Memory and Twentieth-Century Women's Lives

Alexander, S. — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:02:12 PDT

This essay uses memory in the ancient and modern sense of the "inner life of thought" to describe the formation of generational memory in a modern professional family whose twentieth-century history has been fractured by migration, war, education, and divorce. It is about the power of feeling and law, which framed the practical freedoms of twentieth-century women’s lives and introduced the modern citizen in the aftermath of universal suffrage and world war. The first part of the essay emphasizes the psychic dimension of bodily feeling and drive in the formation of memory; a dimension overlooked by oral history and social movements, yet confirmed by autobiography and memoir. My granddaughter’s questions provoked resistance as well as family stories, and let me observe the thought process in a child. Social history, autobiography, and personal memory confirm the common experience of everyday life reaching back through generations of London families; folklore, commerce, and family story make narratives of dreams, hopes, terrors, and events; a child’s comprehension of the outside world is grasped through curiosity, imagination, and play in which bodily feeling is as powerful as speech and prohibition to make meanings that flow between inner world and external reality. The second half of the essay reflects on Joan Riviere’s description of the self. Leading British psychoanalyst, translator of Freud, writing in the 1950s, Riviere’s language of the inner world resonates with the liberal social ethics—empathy, public service, common good—which underpinned women’s and human rights mid-twentieth century and the egalitarian and reproduction reforms whose universalism has been challenged since the 1970s. Negative feeling is striking in Riviere’s description of the self—fear, shame, shock, and trauma, which are confirmed in memoir and autobiography. In contrast, liberal social democratic accounts of the time idealized English character. Today, the future uncertain, memory—in the ancient and modern sense of the "inner eye of thought"—is more than ever necessary for social movements as for the individual.

Diasporic Memories: Community, Individuality, and Creativity--A Life Stories Perspective

Chamberlain, M. — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:02:12 PDT

Can we talk of a collective, diasporic memory? I will argue that in the case of the African-Caribbean community, there are distinctive features—such as the need to tell and the need to connect—which suggest that this diasporic memory is framed through identifiable cultural templates, which distinguish it from the memories of migrants.

Daughters' Stories: Family Memory and Generational Amnesia

Koleva, D. — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:02:12 PDT

After World War II, most Bulgarian Jews emigrated legally to Israel. Those who stayed had to take part in the building of socialism and integrate in a monolithic "socialist nation." Thereby they had to "forget" their ethnic identity ("aided" by the state in various ways) and to become Homo politicus rather than Homo ethnicus. Since 1990, a revival of Jewish identity has begun in Bulgaria. Here I explore how the women of three generations from the same family reinvent their Jewish identity in their life stories. Drawing on this particular case, I suggest an approach to the question of the interplay of individual and collective memory. I focus on family and generation as different types of collectivities influencing individual memories and self-actualizations.

Reticence in Oral History Interviews

Layman, L. — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:02:12 PDT

Oral history interviews contain reticences—conversational shifts by the narrator which limit dialogue on particular matters. Reticences indicate points of tension for the narrator and warning signs for the interviewer that dialogue is, to an extent, disrupted. Reticence is an assertion of a narrator's authority in that dialogue. Examining reticence enlarges understanding of the sharing of authority which occurs in interviews and the shared authority, to use Michael Frisch's term, embodied in the completed interview. In a group of interviews with former power station workers on their work and workplace, reticences fell into four categories—that which did not fit narrators’ purpose in agreeing to the interview, that which did not fit within narrators’ bounds of social discourse, that which was painful or disturbing to discuss, and that which did not fit with public, commemorative memory. Analysis of these different reticences illuminates, above all, the negotiation of authority within the interview dialogue.

Recalling War Trauma of the Pacific War and the Japanese Occupation in the Oral History of Malaysia and Singapore

Blackburn, K. — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:02:12 PDT

The Pacific War and the Japanese Occupation were traumatic periods in the lives of people now over seventy years old in Malaysia and Singapore. This study traces why individuals interviewed for oral history of the Pacific War and the Japanese Occupation have often been able to tell stories of trauma without being overwhelmed by their reminiscences. It emphasizes that memories of traumatic experiences of the Pacific War and Japanese Occupation in Malaysia and Singapore are mediated and eased by supportive social networks that are part of the interview subject's community. The individual's personal memories of traumatic war experiences are positioned in the context of the collective memory of the group and, thus, are made easier to recall. However, for individuals whose personal memories are at variance with the collective memory of the group they belong to, recalling traumatic experiences is more difficult and alienating as they do not have the support of their community. The act of recalling traumatic memories in the context of the collective memory of a group is particularly relevant in Malaysia and Singapore. These countries have a long history of being plural societies, where although the major ethnic groups—the Malays, Chinese, and Indians—have lived side by side peacefully, they have lived in culturally and socially separate worlds, not interacting much with the other groups. The self—identity of many older people who lived through the Pacific War and the Japanese Occupation is inextricably bound up with their ethnicity. Oral history on war trauma strongly reflects these identities.

History, Memory, and Identity in Modern Singapore: Testimonies from the Urban Margins

Seng, L. K. — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:31:18 PDT

In 2006–2007, I interviewed elderly Singaporeans on their experiences of resettlement from an urban kampong (village) to emergency public housing after a great fire in 1961. I learned much about the lives of semiautonomous dwellers in an unauthorized settlement and the individual and social transformation following their rehousing. My informants also highlighted what the experiences meant to them and their identity in a modern city-state. This paper treats the testimonies as both source and social memory and seeks to avoid the essentialism into which many social historians, oral history practitioners, and memory scholars have fallen in their approach toward the craft. As a source of social history, when used in conjunction with other historical sources, the reminiscences are patently useful for understanding the role of public housing in transforming a marginal population into an integrated citizenry. This enables the writing of a new social history of postwar Singapore that departs from the discursive official accounts of urban kampong life and of the 1961 inferno. At the same time, the oral history also underlines powerful social and political influences on individual memory, being marked by nostalgia for the kampong and ambivalence toward the imagined character of younger Singaporeans. Statements on the rumors of government-inspired arson in the 1961 calamity, however, constitute a significant countermyth in contemporary society, revealing a more critical side to the social memory.

"I Didn't Do Anything Important": A Pragmatist Analysis of the Oral History Interview

Ryan, K. M. — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:31:18 PDT

In the course of gathering oral histories from women who served in the Navy and Coast Guard during World War II, an unusual conversational pattern has emerged. The women almost invariably diminish the importance of their wartime contributions; a common refrain is "I didn’t do anything important." Their individual experiences, as revealed during the interviews, belie that assertion. In this paper, I will use the women's words to parse what is meant by this rhetorical move. Do the women really believe they did not do anything important? If so, why do they find it necessary to participate in the very public process of oral history, placing their names and life stories within the historical record? Considering both the content and the context of the women's words from a feminist pragmatist philosophical base will help explain this seemingly incongruent act. This article demonstrates that the women do not really mean to belittle their life experiences (and military service), but instead are using the phrase as a way to acknowledge society's expectations. The oral history interview, meanwhile, is used by the women to not only place their experience into the historical record but also to affirm the importance of their wartime work.

Serbian Gypsy Narrative: Between Preferred and True Identity

Cvorovic, J. — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:31:19 PDT

This paper discusses the narration of a Serbian Gypsy who adopted Serbian ethnic identity. Still today in Serbia, Gypsy culture remains in the oral form. Their narratives tell as much about their present as about their past. Several themes underlying the discussion about Gypsy ethnic flexibility are explored: their position in relation to non-Gypsies, the way they perceive it; varying attitudes about ethnicity within Gypsy communities in contrast with personal experiences of a Gypsy who adopted Serbian identity; and the evolving nature of Gypsy identities.

"It was very, very churchy": Recollections of Older Dutch-Americans on Growing up in Holland, Michigan

Ester, P. — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:40:35 PDT

This article pictures the youth memories of older Dutch-Americans who grew up in the "Dutch enclave" of Holland, Michigan. This area is heavily populated by Dutch immigrants sharing traditional Calvinist religious values, norms, and beliefs. Findings are based on oral interviews among a sample of older respondents from the area. The study combines a generational approach with an oral history methodology. Results indicate that respondents cherish their formative years, their Dutch-American upbringing, and feel that their socialization in strict values, norms, and beliefs had lasting effects on their personal life course and life style. It is concluded that combining generational theory and the methodology of oral history opens very promising interdisciplinary perspectives.

The Mischling Experience in Oral History

Monteath, P. — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:40:35 PDT

This paper examines the usefulness of oral history in dealing with the fate of the so-called Mischlinge in Nazi Germany; that is, people categorized by the authorities as being of "mixed race." It argues that oral history provides an invaluable supplement to the written, official record. The latter is by its nature a view "from above" and from the perpetrators; it generally excludes the perspective of the victims of Nazi racial policy. Moreover, as an overview of the treatment of Mischlinge demonstrates, there were stark discrepancies between policy and practice which are difficult to comprehend on the basis of the written record alone, but which are well exemplified through a study of individual experiences. The paper uses several examples of such experiences collected from three separate video testimony repositories to analyze the nature of those experiences, detecting discrepancies between official policy and practice and observing the considerable variations in the nature and harshness of those experiences. Finally, the oral history record is found to be invaluable in tracing some of the longer-term consequences of the Third Reich for surviving Mischlinge, especially in terms of their constructions of identity and the ways in which, for the period after the Second World War, they dealt with the ascribed identities which had so heavily impacted them in their early years.

A Columbine Study: Giving Voice, Hearing Meaning

Mears, C. L. — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:40:35 PDT

On a quiet spring morning, the 20th of April 1999, Columbine High School emerged from relative anonymity as a typical suburban high school and became internationally recognized as a symbol of school violence and tragic loss. As a parent whose child was in the school at the time of the attack, I struggled to make sense of the tragedy. I decided to conduct research into the experience as a way to learn lessons that might help others exposed to community-wide trauma in the future. Through modified oral history interviews of other Columbine parents in combination with other qualitative research strategies, I collected and studied stories of the events of that day and the years following. An unexpected by-product emerged from the study, for it seemed that I was not only learning about crisis response and trauma care but also offering a means for parents to gain comfort in reflecting on their own experience. This paper describes the distinct approach that I employed to create a gateway to understanding this experience. It does not explicate the findings of the Columbine study but instead explores the potential for positive outcomes for those who, by giving voice to their stories, can connect to a deeper appreciation for their own experience.

Oral History and Hurricane Katrina: Reflections on Shouts and Silences

Sloan, S. — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:40:35 PDT

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, many oral historians throughout the nation began to consider the role their methodology could serve in documenting the storm and its aftermath. Interviewing so soon after such a traumatic event creates new considerations for oral history as an approach to recording experience. The problems and possibilities of oral history at such a moment initiated a vibrant discussion on H-Oralhist and at professional meetings in the fall of 2005. This article reflects on many of the topics raised in that dialogue, including issues of historical distance, objectivity, reflection, and emotional trauma. The piece also offers an early review of the work of the Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage at the University of Southern Mississippi to document the impact of Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi.

Katrina Narratives: What Creative Writers Can Teach Us about Oral History

Hirsch, A., Dixon, C. — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:40:35 PDT

Creative writing graduate students—living in post-Katrina Louisiana and struggling for a means to aid their devastated community—ask their peers about the stories they are telling concerning the hurricanes, how their peers construct their individual hurricane narratives, and how the creative process/discipline bears on the material we call history. The authors frame the discussion around Ronald Grele and Alessandro Portelli's writings on narrative. They argue that the oral history informant and the professional storyteller are linked by certain common pursuits and practices and thereby create common byproducts as well and that these connections offer useful insights into the study of oral history. In this essay, they work to bring the two disciplines together and to explore possible overlaps so that we might benefit from a place of new understanding not yet imagined.
