The Return of the Panther. A university laboratory for the construction of an oral archive

Abstract

The article aims to present the activities of the Archival Laboratory at the University of Palermo, which involved the creation of an oral archive about the university movement known as "Pantera" (1989-90). Starting from some general observations about sound documents, oral sources, and sources for studying movements, the contribution reaches the broader project within which the Laboratory's activities unfold: "Limone Lunare," the archive of oral sources about political and social movements in contemporary Sicily. The article is completed with descriptions of the collected interviews.
