What is recognized and established as an official migratory narrative? Who is entitled to narrate the history of immigration? Which aspects of this history are or should be highlighted and which ones are or should be silenced? And how an anthropologist converts oral testimonies and silences into exhibition items for a digital museum?
In this talk, Dr. Alexandra Siotou discusses the politics of representation and the possibilities and limitations regarding the exhibition of oral testimonies in a digital museum.
In this talk Dr. Alexandra Siotou examines how digital technologies define the gathering of research data in an oral history program and how they contribute to the display of unheard voices as well as to the production of new silences in the context of a digital museum.
