而学术分析的作用，在爱尔兰的历史和文化的记忆往往强调其两极分化和分裂的影响，本章评估的潜力，历史作为一种资源，为和解之间的分裂社区。它分析了开放大学与冲突研究所共同领导的一个项目，该项目对来自北方爱尔兰的天主教徒和新教徒进行了大约70次访谈，其中许多人年龄在40到60岁之间。有些人是去教堂的人，有些人不是。一般来说，受访者，特别是天主教徒，并没有特别关注遥远的过去，尽管对一些人来说，最近和个人经历的创伤的“麻烦”仍然唤起强烈的感情。当受访者确实对生活记忆之外的事件感兴趣时，他们往往对民族主义和橙子传统的公认神话持批评态度，并赞赏在其背景下理解历史事件的重要性。因此，特别是在正在进行的“百年十年”的背景下，有可能探索共同的过去，以促进“共同的未来”的发展。
Whereas academic analysis of the role of memory in Irish history and culture has tended to emphasise its polarising and divisive effect, this chapter assesses the potential for history as a resource for reconciliation between divided communities. It analyses a project led by the Open University in conjunction with the Institute for Conflict Research, which conducted about seventy interviews with a mixed set of Catholics and Protestants, men and women, from Northern Ireland, many of whom were in the forty-to-sixty age group. Some were church-goers, others were not. In general respondents, especially Catholics, were not particularly preoccupied with the distant past, although for some the more recent and personally-experienced traumas of the ‘Troubles’ still evoked strong feelings. Where respondents did take an interest in events outside living memory, they were often quite critical of the received mythologies of both nationalist and Orange traditions, and appreciated the importance of understanding historical events in their context. Hence, especially in the context of the ongoing ‘decade of centenaries’ there is potential for exploration of a shared past to contribute to the development of a ‘shared future’.
