The Ethical Imperative in the Oral History MethodStrle, Urška (Avtor) oral historyethicsfieldworklegal frameworkspublic use of testimoniesThe field of ethics is one of the key considerations in all spheres of scientific research, and oral history is no exception. Despite its seemingly easy method of acquiring knowledge about the past, oral history is one of the most sensitive and demanding methods of historical research, and ethical considerations should therefore be given central importance. The article is empirically based on observation of public practices and field experience in collecting testimonies with post-war emigrants to Canada and with individuals from the Soča (Isonzo) river basin, a border area with a high level of emigration. It serves as a contribution to raising awareness regarding the ethical aspects of oral history, which are on average rather poorly reflected.20232026-07-08 09:00:37Delo ni kategorizirano30878slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
