Numero 12 - Luglio 2026 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/9648 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/9568 Title: The Notebook, the Closet, and the Film: Iranians Processing Trauma Through Public History, Case Study: The 1988 Executions Authors: Asgari, Rahil Abstract: Iranians who lost loved ones during the revolutionary period (1979–89) have struggled with trauma for more than 40 years. The pain of loss and the knowledge of the torture that happened in the prisons have haunted Iranians who have unintentionally tried to process their trauma through public history. In this article I explore some of these cases by drawing upon interviews I conducted with family members, using them to provide a theoretical framework that demonstrates how generational experience contributed to the ways families, largely unaware of this historical field, utilize public history for healing purposes. Oppression has forced Iranians to engage with audiences as limited as one’s family or as broad as on a global scale. As some Iranians have moved into diaspora, and with the transition of developed trauma into an inherited form, the fear of oppression has decreased generationally, increasing the levels of engagement with the public. This has encouraged Iranians living inside the country to join in such efforts on a larger scale. Whether public, semi-public, or less-than-public, all cases demonstrate how the process of healing has evolved into a form of resistance that strives for engagement while defying the forces that seek to silence them.

In the archive, social media posts, oral histories, and hashtags such as #SOSAmazonia and #SOSPueblosTransfronterizos functioned as performative acts of witnessing that confronted state neglect and mobilized collective care. Indigenous actors leveraged online platforms to claim public visibility, pressure authorities, and reframe the pandemic as part of a larger history of state neglect. Simultaneously, archival preservation recreates power dynamics. By selecting, mediating, and recontextualizing ephemeral posts, the archive transforms digital objects into historical artifacts, restaging them for new audiences and interpretative frames.

In an embodied interview space, orality, affect, and memory interact. Public oral history in Asia is emergent and complex. This article explores that emergence, that complexity. With a selection of case analysis in Asian context, the study argues how public oral history has emerged as an affective engagement with the past, and how that engagement has actively shaped the public memories.
