Дискусійні аспекти міждисциплінарної взаємодії журналістики та усної історії (Discussion Aspects of Interdisciplinary Interaction of Journalism and Oral History)

<jats:p>The article presents the context of modern scientific controversy around the boundaries of interdisciplinarity. The subject of the study was the widespread practice of using oral history practices in the mass media space. However, the oral history itself is changing rapidly under the pressure of digital platforms such as StoryCorps (USA), Listening Project (UK), The Story Project (Australia), The Tale of a Town (Canada). The changes affected not only the technological process of archiving and dissemination of information, but also the foundations of oral history - its methodology. The in-depth interview is replaced by the "rapid response collecting" method and historical storytelling.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Results of the research. Basic characterological directions proposed, allowing to present the main points of discussion in various aspects: the use of oral historical materials, especially "hidden history" through the eyes of eyewitnesses become an additional source of journalistic clarifications, investigations and expanding the information agenda; addressing marginal themes of history, giving a voice to terrorist groups and participants in genocides poses extremely complex and ethically controversial questions to the audience; multimedia and multiplatform give new life to oral history information, while performance, theater and participation are added to the usual practices of new media. The most expressive manifestation of changes in this interdisciplinary discourse is the practice of digital storytelling; its media use is illustrated by the BBC’s Capture Wales digital storytelling project.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As part of the scientific discussion that has continued in recent years, the issues of democratization of history, mass inclusion in digital archives, the creation of powerful social projects and attempts to distance oral history as a separate discipline have been actualized. At the same time, it is recognized that, like any creative practice, interdisciplinarity remains a wide field for experimentation and creativity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</jats:p>
