Disclaimer:
Oral Tradition
Oral tradition is the passing of cultural knowledge, stories, beliefs, customs, and practices from one generation to another through spoken word rather than written texts. This form of cultural transmission includes storytelling, folklore, proverbs, songs, chants, and oral histories, and plays a crucial role in preserving the heritage, identity, and values of a community or society. Oral tradition ensures the continuity of cultural practices and collective memory, especially in societies where written language may be less prevalent or in conjunction with written records.
Oral History
Oral history is a method of historical documentation that involves collecting, preserving, and interpreting personal accounts and experiences through recorded interviews. These firsthand testimonies provide valuable insights into the past from the perspective of individuals who experienced it, offering a rich, personal dimension to historical events and eras. Oral history emphasizes the voices of ordinary people, often those underrepresented in written records, and is a crucial tool for capturing diverse narratives and preserving cultural heritage.
