ORAL HISTORY AND MYTES
Author(s): Maria AldeaSubject(s): History
Published by: Argonaut
Summary/Abstract: This study is the result of a sum of questions we had during the years, about how much of an oral historian’s work is about creating or working with myths. We tried to see if there is a link between oral history and myths, by presenting the evolution of myth as a subject, and the particularities that make it different from documentary history and oral tradition, as well as all the interpretations one could give it. We hope the answers we found can provide solid background for further debates.
