Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay offers an articulation of and model for the author’s proposal of queer oral history. Queer oral history functions as a version of oral history that asks the practitioner to consider the benefits of methodological experimentation and to reflexively question their role as a researcher. Using the example of a solo show, Bless Our Hearts: An Oral History of the Queer South, this article offers an example of the potentialities within queer oral history as a performance method that queers methodology in a way that allows practitioners to reach a more ethical and dialogic approach towards performing the other.
