SUMMARY:¿Qué es la historia oral y por qué es importante?
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nEste taller introductorio explorará qué es la historia oral\, cómo esta herramienta se ha utilizado para la preservación de historias comunitarias y su relación con las entrevistas y los cuentos cotidianos. Los participantes tendrán la oportunidad de aprender qué factores y eventos motivan a historiadores orales a documentar historias comunitarias utilizando esta forma de narración. Durante el taller\, los participantes tendrán la oportunidad de aprender cómo pueden encontrar y explorar archivos de entrevistas que narran historias comunitarias (especialmente\, las historias dirigidas hacia la comunidad Latina de Washington\, D.C.\, Maryland y Virginia). En este proceso\, identificarán elementos básicos de una buena entrevista y tendrán la oportunidad de pensar cómo les pueden servir las historias orales para documentar sus propias historias o empezar proyectos académicos. \nEste taller será liderada en español por José Centeno-Meléndez\, un historiador local que utiliza la historia oral como herramienta para documentar las contribuciones/las vidas de latinos y salvadoreños en el DMV. \nThis introductory workshop will help participants define oral history in relationship to the history of the practice and other forms of interviewing and storytelling. Participants will learn what motivates oral historians to do their work and what might motivate them to initiate projects of their own. Participants will also learn how to discover archival oral history interviews and begin to understand what makes a good interview. Finally\, participants will think about how to turn their topical interests into guiding research questions. \n  \nHost: HumanitiesDC\nDate: April 25\, 2024 • 6PM\nLocation: Mt.
