Anna Green

Historian whose 2004 article in Oral History ("Individual Remembering and 'Collective Memory': Theoretical Presuppositions and Contemporary Debates") surveys how oral history and Halbwachs-descended memory studies relate. Matters to this vault as the only source so far connecting Alessandro Portelli's case material to Halbwachs's specific vocabulary — an outside analytic application, not evidence Portelli cited Halbwachs himself. Green's own broader argument treats oral history's "interpretive mode" and collective-memory studies as two currents that converged rather than one generating the other, directly bearing on the vault's open Halbwachs-Portelli lineage question.
