New Destinations: Life Unscripted, Los Angeles, Oral History and Technology - A Collective Discussion, Facilitated by Miguel Juárez, 2009 SOHA Program Chair

Oral history has played a central role in preserving memories of the past by filling in a communication gap as people stopped writing letters and changed the way they talk to each other. For instance, personal communication was changed by telephones and television programming. Now the use of technology and computer-mediated communication is transforming the way people present and tell stories. Today, ordinary people develop storytelling websites combining interviews, text, videos, monologues, mini-documentaries, etc. They utilize New Media, social networking, and blogs, as well as other machine-generated communication that connect people and their stories.

How is oral history relevant in this virtual space? Can we consider any of these new forms oral history? When and how has oral history affected format, style, and substance? How do the ethical standards in oral history apply? When is voyeurism a danger? How do we incorporate aspects of media, film, digital media and social networking into oral history and make it palatable across generations? How can we use social media to track new developments in oral history? Who decides how oral history lives online? How can oral history take advantage of new developments in the digital humanities? Who else needs to be at the table in this discussion?

Join us in this intriguing collective discussion of how New Media, social networking and the Web may reshape the future of oral history.

Miguel Juárez defines himself as a digital humanist. He received a B.A. degree in Liberal Arts from the UT El Paso in 1985 and continued with Arts Administration and Chicano Studies at California State University at Dominguez Hills and Museum/Gallery Studies at California State University at Long Beach.
