Ringkasan	Interpretive oral history is a qualitative research design that collects and analyzes first-person spoken accounts of the past through an explicitly interpretive lens. Rather than treating recorded testimony as a transparent factual record, it foregrounds the meaning-making process — examining how narrators construct, remember, and frame their experiences — drawing on hermeneutic and interpretive traditions to illuminate subjectivity, memory, and historical consciousness.	Interpretive biographical research is a qualitative design that collects and hermeneutically analyses the life stories of individuals to illuminate how personal biography intersects with social structure and historical context. Drawing on the interpretive tradition of Wilhelm Dilthey and systematised by Norman Denzin and Brian Roberts, it treats a life account not as a factual record but as a constructed, meaning-laden narrative that reveals how people make sense of their own trajectories.
