Tribes host OSU delegation
History versus fiction at W.S. library
from Oregon oral histories that
were recorded primarily in the
1930s and ‘40s, and are now
held at the state library in Sa
lem.
T hese oral histories reveal
the hand o f the interviewer in
both subde and bold ways. “Lit-
eralists” took down every hic
cup and expletive along with the
sto ry , w h ile “w o rd s m ith s ”
perked up dull recitations and
fictionalized uneventful details.
Collaborators became so in
volved that their own narrative
visions interact with the story
being told in the interviews.
W hen oral histories reveal the
threads o f legend, the stories
undoubtedly becom e m ore en
gaging-
Are we duped by elements o f
W here does history end
and folklore begin?
Southern Oregon Univer
sity professor Tom N ash will
try to discern the elements o f
fiction that often arise in his
torical narration in True Sto
ries and OtherFictions in North
west Oral History.
Nash will make his presen
tation, p art o f the O regon
C h au tau q u a series o f the
Oregon Council for the H u
manities, at 7 p.m. on Tues
day, July 21 a t th e W arm
Springs Library.
In his work, N ash looks
at the elements o f folklore
embedded in supposedly non
fiction stories o f fro n tie r
O regon and the West.
H is m a te ria l is d raw n
tall tale and legend, or do they
reflect the dynamic interplay
between events and memory?
A nd what, ultimately, is the
role o f fiction in history?
