PUBLIC SPEECH IN HISTORY AND ORAL SOURCES

Summary/Abstract: This study approaches the relationship between public speech in history and oral sources, considering the influence ideology has on the first mentioned. When we talk about history as way to legitimate power we cannot avoid a debate on terms like misinformation, lie, censorship, and secrecy. Every political regime especially the totalitarian ones, tried to subdue and influence the political speech. On the contrary, the oral sources come to prove otherwise, contradicting or underlying certain events, facts, or historical phenomena. Thus, it is absolutely necessary to recover these oral testimonies. Both public speeches in history as well as oral sources have their subjective side, and they are also both transmitted through oral communication.
