Qualitative Oral History Interview Transcripts on European Contemporary Dance Heritage
Authors/Creators
Description
This aggregated dataset consists of a corpus of qualitative oral history interviews collected within the Horizon Europe project DanceMap (Grant No. 101177556). With the aim to document diverse approaches to and understandings of contemporary dance heritage, the interviews are part of the fieldwork conducted directly with representatives of the project’s partner institutions in Cologne, Sofia, Skopje, Belgrade, Lisbon, Ljubljana, Brussels, and Leuven. By bringing together the voices of curators, academic researchers, artists, cultural producers and others, the collection offers a diversified insight into the institutional realities of as well as the critical discourse surrounding dance heritage practices in different national and political contexts across Europe.
The dataset is intentionally designed to offer deep, contextual narratives suitable for qualitative research. It is conceived as a primary or “raw” corpus of full text transcripts rather than a closed collection of terms or pre-determined concepts, maximising its potential for secondary data reuse both within and beyond the DanceMap framework. Geographically and institutionally, the dataset represents a unified effort across 9 partner organisations spanning 8 European nations, resulting in a collection of 16 interviews with 25 interviewees based on 27 hours and 32 minutes of recorded material. Access and documentation are provided via three core root-level files: a synthesising README.txt file acting as the technical index and directory guide, alongside a master data matrix (participants_metadata.csv) for automated cross-referencing.
