English term or phrase: memory accounts
El contexto es el siguiente:

Memory accounts have always been central to the struggle of the Palestinian internal refugees. Since 1948 the “villages of origin” have been the centre of memory accounts and the important provider of “legitimacy” for the internally displaced persons and for their struggle for return. Moreover in recent years the local campaigns of the internal refugees have reflected a strong relationship between memory accounts, refugee identity, and the desire to return to the place of origin.

relatos/tradiciones orales


Explanation:
Los "relatos de la memoria" llevan implicitos los significados de "oral" y "tradición" respectivamente.

Example sentence(s):
  • Recogió las tradiciones orales sobre la historia de Palestina, demuestra estar familiarizado con la región que rodea Gaza
  • Debido a la celosa independencia de los nómadas, las tradiciones orales evolucionaron en uno y otro lado de manera original y diversa

Therefore refugee memory accounts could be as
authentic as the documented ones.
While Palestinian national identity took roots long before
1948, Palestinian memory accounts of the post-Nakba period played a
major role in the reconstruction of Palestinian national identity and the
emergence of the PLO in the 1960s

memoria recopilatoria


Explanation:
"La memoria recopilatoria (o memoria-informe) no suele llevar ning�n apartado de recomendaciones o conclusiones orientativas, porque, como ya hemos indicado, no se pretende con ella influir en la decisi�n del interlocutor, sino informar amplia, ordenada y sistem�ticamente de los acontecimientos y proyectos pasados. Lo que s� que aparece en este tipo de memorias es un cierto grado de valoraci�n; por lo tanto, el lenguaje puede ser un poco m�s modalizado y subjetivo que en las memorias de proyectos, en las que suele ser muy neutro. "
