Oral History: Memories Transcribed
Oral history began as oral tradition, the passing down of information from generation to generation. Now we commit most everything to paper. However, there are still places in the world where the passing of history is truly an oral tradition. Within our own families, oral tradition is the main way most of us retain our favorite family stories. Unfortunately, by not recording these stories, they frequently undergo changes as they pass from parent to child, also, with the advent of technology and the decline of the extended family, these family stories are becoming lost

My idea in your head vs Your idea in my head
PonenciaMy idea in your head vs Your idea in my head
The objective of this discussion is to delve into a cross-cultural communicative context. There is
something uniquely human about the evolution of knowledge though communication. While this is
seemingly a universal concept, our focus will move from what is universal about communication to
what is distinctly unique about the way two languages differ in similar contexts. What happens when
there is a discursive clash between the languages?
The underlying theories will uncover some of the main ingredients to proper discourse.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech.

Violent, Political, and Administrative Repression of the Chinese Minority in Indonesia, 1945-1998
Since Indonesian independence, its Chinese minority has been a victim of violent outbreaks, but also of restrictive policies arising from politics and administrative measures. From about 1957, with the closure of Chinese-language schools and subsequent regulations about expression of Chinese culture, many speak of the “erasure” of that culture through such restrictions. Violent anti-Chinese outbreaks have proceeded from the Indonesian Revolution and the presidency of Soekarno (especially the so-called “PP-10” measures against Chinese rural traders) to the era of Suharto, which began with the 1965-1967 anti-Communist massacres and their effects on ehtnic Chinese and came to an end with the provocation of violence against ethnic Chinese in major Indonesian cities. This paper also discusses the reactions to these waves of anti-Chinese measures: rejection, flight, but also countermeasures in the form of political activity. In the years since Reformasi, as attacks on them have subsided, many Chinese Indonesians have chosen to emphasize their participation in Indonesian history and their positive contributions to Indonesian culture
