Memory and citizenship in the files of oral history and digital media

This paper discusses the setting-up of files on oral history due to the importance of keeping collective and individual memory alive, making it known, and fully exercising citizens’ rights derived from it, as well as the relationships of power in this process. The techniques of oral history foster the organization of a set of true-life reports which, pieced together, reconstruct collective identity and community memory. These include the feeling of belonging to a group – confirmed by images and symbols – which favours both self-recognition and recognition towards the other group members. Such recognition may be envisaged through the systematic recording (sound and image) of single characters’ testimonies, thus enhancing the importance of minorities and stressing civil rights and individual liberties.Downloads
