The conference is organized to commemorate the centenary of the Oriental Institute in Prague. Since its inception, this institution has reflected the interconnection of cultural and economic circles, both in practice and research, which has contributed to the establishment of Orientalist disciplines (not only) at the Charles University in Prague. The beginnings of research in Oriental Studies in Europe came to the forefront of scientific circles rather slowly. The great syntheses that arose in the Western European environment drew attention to the specific development of individual disciplines and their gradual establishment, from the interest in biblical languages to comprehensive studies of Oriental countries in its broadest sense.

Oriental Studies has been established in European universities since the end of the 19th century, and in connection with the growing economic interest in the Middle East and Asia, Oriental societies and institutes were founded. Middle East and Asia-focused scholarship have had a long tradition in the Czech lands since the 19th century. After the division of the university into its Czech and German factions in 1882, lectures were held at both universities, and in the interwar period, there was a wide range of disciplines from Hebrew and Arabic Studies to Turkology, Iranian Studies, Indology, Hittite Studies, and Egyptology. The Oriental Institute in Czechoslovakia was founded in 1922 and, despite numerous regime changes, the hardships of World War II, and the reconstruction of academic infrastructure after the war, it has been carrying out its mission for a hundred years.

Před padesáti lety amatérská skupina českých a polských speleologů a jejich přátel provedla zásadní vulkanologický průzkum v Ekvádoru na nejvyšší činné sopce světa – Cotopaxi (5897 m). Jako prvním na světě se jim podařilo sestoupit do kráteru a vytvořit geologickou mapu širšího terénu. Díky tomu Ekvádor získal také mapu rizik a pod Cotopaxi zřídil národní park. Ač byla expedice mediálně slavná, čeští vědci neměli za normalizace volnou akademickou dráhu. Přesto se snažili v podobných výzkumech pokračovat ve střední Americe, na Antarktidě a samozřejmě u nás. Výpravu v létě 1972 zaštítilo Ministerstvo kultury a Krátký film tam vyslal režiséra Petra Poláka natočit tři filmy, o Cotopaxi, Ekvádoru a amazonských Indiánech – s etnografem Mnislavem Zeleným, šéfem expedice (hudba Karel Svoboda, hlas lektora Jan Tříska – v titulcích se neobjevil).

Čeští a polští cestovatelé se potkají po 50 letech v Krakově na semináři a výstavě. Teprve toto výročí a pamětnické rozhovory natáčené Tomášem W. Pavlíčkem umožní, že se obnoví výměna vědeckých poznatků a zkušeností.

Zkušené i začínající badatelé orálních dějin zveme na workshop připravený v rámci nového bilaterálního projektu Československo-polské vědecké sítě. První výsledky bude prezentovat Tomáš W. Pavlíček z IH PAN ve Varšavě. Cílem je diskutovat specifika rozhovorů s vědci.

Hlavním lektorem workshopu je prof. Paul Burnett, který se dlouhodobě zabývá dějinami vědy a je ředitelem Centra orálních dějin na univerzitě v Berkeley. V USA vedl řadu orálně historických projektů a díky podpoře Nadace rodiny českého fyzika židovského původu Georga Placzeka přijede prezentovat své rozhovory s brněnskými fyziky ze školy Martina Černohorského.

Oral History Workshop Schedule

Paul Burnett, Oral History Center, UC Berkeley

Tomáš Pavlíček, Instytut Historii PAN, Warszawa

A one-day workshop will be held at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague on September 12, 2022. The following sessions will cover the theory and practice of oral history with respect to project management; narrator and community involvement; legal and ethical practices; traumainformed
interviewing; and archiving, interpretation, public history, and technology.

8:30-9:00 am Introductions and objectives for the day

9:00 – 10:00 am The nature and history of oral history This introduction distinguishes the field and practice of oral history from other types of interviewing, historical research, and archiving. We will discuss concepts of the self, shared authority and intersubjectivity.

10 am – 10:10 am Short break

10:10 – 11:30 am Managing an oral history project This session breaks down the complete workflow of an oral history project from start to finish.

11:30 am – 12:15 pm Trust and oral history. Introduction to the interview process, informed consent, and legal and ethical concerns with oral history.

12:15 – 1:15 pm Lunch – open discussion

1:15 – 2:15 Oral history recording, interpretation, public history, and archiving Attendees who have registered in advance may be asked to watch a one-hour recording before the session about recording practices. What do you do once you have your recordings? What are the advantages and challenges associated with emerging technologies and platforms? Introduction to the multimedia public history universe, with examples.

2:15 – 2:45 Trauma-informed oral history – Discussion of interview techniques, challenges, and the literature on trauma-informed narrative.

2:45 – 4:30 Institutional oral history, trauma, and healing This will be a more open conversation among historians about the risks and promise of oral history: oral history in wartime, oral history and vulnerable or marginalized populations. As oral history practice becomes more accessible and ubiquitous, how do narrators and historians navigate issues of agency, safety, control, and power?

Presentation of two oral history projects:

Paul Burnett, The Czech Physics Oral History Project

Tomáš Pavlíček, Czechoslovak-Polish Scholarly Entanglements in the Cold War
