To tekst pochodzący z epoki wielkich debat nad statusem naukowym badań opartych na wątpliwym – zdaniem wielu historyków – materiale. Alessandro Portelli rozprawia się w tym opracowaniu z wątpliwościami i zarzutami stawianymi nie tylko wówczas, ale i dziś, wszędzie tam, gdzie pojawia się „widmo historii mówionej”. Ów swoisty manifest posiada ogromne walory edukacyjne, ponieważ porządkuje i wyjaśnia fundamentalne dla historii mówionej kwestie natury epistemologicznej i warsztatowej: wiarygodności źródeł mówionych, konsekwencji ich oralności i roli transkrypcji, czy wreszcie obiektywizmu przekazu.

Irving Harry Sandler, an American art historian, critic and administrator, was born in New York City and brought up and educated in Philadelphia. He received his M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1950 and completed his Ph.D. at New York University in 1976. In the intervening years, Sandler managed the Tanager Gallery, served as the director of The Club (1957–1962), and wrote criticism for ARTnews (1956–1962). After completing his doctorate, he taught at the State University of New York at Purchase (1972–1997), where he curated a number of exhibitions and conducted oral history interviews with contemporary artists.

Govindasamy Sekar of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, developed ( Chem. Commun. 2011, 47, 5076) an environmentally friendly procedure for the amination of 1 to 2. Jens-Uwe Peters of Hoffmann-La Roche, Basel, showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2011, 52, 749) that the Udenfriend protocol could be used to convert drugs such as 3 to their hydroxylated metabolites. Suman L. Jain and Anil K. Sinha of the Indian Institute of Petroleum reported (Chem. Commun. 2011, 47, 1610) complementary conditions for arene hydroxylation. Dimethyl aniline has been used, inter alia, as a nucleophile in enantioselective MacMillan conjugate addition. Zhong-Xia Wang of USTC established (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 4901) that the quaternized salt 5 could participate in Negishi coupling. Mark R. Biscoe of the City College of New York discovered (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1218) that with a Ni catalyst, the secondary organozinc 9 will couple without rearrangement. Igor V. Alabugin of Florida State University devised (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 1521) a radical-based protocol for replacing a phenolic OH with alkyl, to give 12. Petr Beier of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic used (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 4781) vicarious nucleophilic substitution followed by alkylation to convert 13 to 15. Robin B. Bedford of the University of Bristol developed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 5524) a Pd-catalyzed procedure for the ortho bromination of an anilide 16. Jin-Quan Yu of Scripps/La Jolla took advantage (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 7652) of the energetic N-O bond of 19 to drive the functionalization of 18 to 20. Lei Liu of Tsinghua University devised (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 3235) a Rh-mediated oxidative ortho coupling of the carbamate 21 with 22. Kohtaro Kirimura of Waseda University inserted (Chem. Lett. 2011, 40 , 206) the DNA for a novel Trichosporon decarboxylase into Escherichia coli and found that the resulting fermentation efficiently converted 24 into 25. The alternative Kolbe-Schmitt reaction requires high temperature and pressure. Sometimes, usually with more highly substituted benzene rings, creating the ring is worthwhile.

William D. Wulff of Michigan State University developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 13100; Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4908) a general enantio- and diastereocontrolled route from an imine 1 to the aziridine 3. Craig W. Lindsley of Vanderbilt University established (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3276) a complementary approach (not illustrated). Joseph P. Konopelski of the University of California, Santa Cruz, designed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 11379) a practical and inexpensive flow apparatus for the cyclization of 4 to the β-lactam 5. Manas K. Ghorai of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, showed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 6173) that an aziridine 6 could be opened with malonate to give the γ-lactam 8. John P. Wolfe of the University of Michigan devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 12157) a Pd catalyst for the enantioselective cyclization of 9 to 11. Sherry R. Chemler of the State University of New York at Buffalo observed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 6365) that the cyclization of 12 to 14 proceeded with high diastereoselectivity. Glenn M. Sammis of the University of British Columbia devised (Synlett 2010, 3035) conditions for the radical cyclization of 15 to 16. Jeffrey S. Johnson of the University of North Carolina observed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 9688) that the opening of racemic 17 with 18 could be effected with high ee. The residual 17 was highly enriched in the nonreactive enantiomer. Kevin D. Moeller of Washington University found (Org. Lett . 2010, 12, 5174) that the n -BuLi catalyzed cyclization of 20 set the quaternary center of 21 with high relative control. Yujiro Hayashi of the Tokyo University of Science, using the diphenyl prolinol TMS ether that he developed as an organocatalyst, designed (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4588) the sequential four-component coupling of 22, 23, benzaldehyde imine, and allyl silane to give 24 with high relative and absolute stereocontrol. Derrick L. J. Clive of the University of Alberta showed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 5223) that 25, prepared in enantiomerically pure form from serine, participated smoothly in the Claisen rearrangement, to deliver 27.
