УСТНАЯ ИСТОРИЯ

 

Устная История проделала долгий путь с момента своего первого академического провозглашения в конце 40-х годов XX века и до настоящего времени. Появившись как узкое направление в рамках библиотечного и архивного дела, Устная История постепенно завоевала признание профессиональных историков, нашедших в устных воспоминаниях исключительный источник информации о прошлом. Первый энтузиазм в отношении возможностей устной истории, тем не менее, довольно скоро сменился критикой прямолинейного подхода к интерпретации воспоминаний и поиском новых методов их анализа.

Исследования последних лет показали, что многие вопросы, стоящие сейчас перед специалистами в области Устной Истории, поднимаются и в других областях гуманитарных наук: Истории, Антропологии, Социологии, Фольклористике. Устная История сейчас имеет все основания считаться междисциплинарной практикой, позволяющей извлекать информацию из устных источников.
