Opis

The oral life story is a flexible genre that allows§one to connect the private with the public world. It§is a window that allows the world to catch a glimpse§of the personal experiences and values of the§ordinary person. The representations of self and the§past that are embodied in life stories can be used as§tools by researchers and activists for larger agendas§that create meanings in culture and society. This§study deals with two different ways life story§collecting has served two different objectives. Mara§in Latvia has created a "master story" that fills and§commemorates the "silenced gaps" in Latvian history§left by its fifty years under Soviet rule; Karen in§Brazil has created a "master story" that works for§social change and embraces the diversity of Brazil§and the world. Through analysis of Mara''s and Karen''s§own life stories and the products they have produced,§this study examines the "master story" each has§created from the many life stories told to them,§against the cultural and political backdrop of Latvia§and Brazil. This study is intended for anyone§interested in life story collecting, theory, and life§story utilization.
