THE UNEXPECTED IN ORAL HISTORY KARTONIERT (TB)

How is an oral historian to react when the unexpected emerges  whether in field research or
interview analysis? Answers tend to be scattered throughout the scholarly literature or
confined to backstage conversations. This book brings the unexpected to the center of the scene
and promotes a collective reflection about ways of dealing with uneasy encounters  surprises 
and interviews that seem to have gone off the rails. The contributors come from a dozen
countries  especially Brazil  where a classic piece about a great liar paved the way for this
discussion. Rather than eccentric descriptions of unusual situations  these chapters evoke a
dense web of reflections about dialogue  the production of oral sources  and the complexities
of personal narratives. Theoretically informed but written in an engaging language  the book
presents readers with fascinating case studies of the eruptions of the unexpected that occur in
oral history research.
