Hi all, In a moment of cosmic timeliness, I'm currently revising an article on oral history practice as it relates to my work in videogame history. There's obviously a wealth of information on generalist approaches to oral history, or more specific methodological lenses (feminist, postcolonial), to provide lit review. But in writing, I've been wondering if there's any scattering of literature that might constitute something like discipline-specific engagement with oral history (understanding that "the discipline" here ranges from history of technology and science to STS to media studies to library science, etc.). For some reason, in the history of computing and games particularly, there can be a lingering attachment to interpreting oral history sources as unmediated vessels of their own experience, even though this has been roundly debunked by oral history scholarship going back to the mid-1970s. Is it the complexity of technical systems, an extension of their presumed objectivity and rationality, that keeps certain interviewers and historians working in this mode? Are there other issues specific to our shared domains that might form the basis of a reading list on this subject? I would be grateful for any references and readings members of the group could direct my way.
