This course will focus primarily on oral life history studies, a genre of inquiry variously described as "history from below", "narratives of world making", "life course narrative", "self-narrative", "conversational narrative", etc. We will examine the development, patterns, and methods associated with this mode of inquiry as well as relevant theoretical issues. Also, we will incorporate methods and issues associated with the use of personal documents in life history studies. Simultaneously we will explore issues of "narrative" and "text" while working with Storyspace hypertext software. The preferred context for our life history study will be the World War II generation of Japanese whose accounts are the prime source of memory transmission for an era of upheaval in Japan?s modern history.
