本文探讨的意义，在那些经历了家庭外照顾的儿童，他们的机构化的存档记录的生活。作为成年人访问记录的情感后果进行了讨论，特别关注记录的能力，以恢复过去的痛苦。借鉴布鲁纳（Crit Inq Autumn 1- 21，1991，Consumption and everyday life，Sage，伦敦，1997）和麦金太尔（After virtue：a study in moral theory，University of Notre Dame Press，Notre Dame，1981）的工作，自我的“叙事”模型被用来解释记录原始组成中系统缺陷的负面影响。有人认为，这些缺陷有可能扰乱个人的自我意识。两位作者都曾在儿童时期经历过家庭外护理，他们将自己访问记录的经历作为案例研究。这些记录的多方面不准确和不充分之处是根据现行的福利做法来解释的，特别是一种极具破坏性的判断范式，即对被照顾者的劣等性格的性别和道德假设。作者最后认为，对档案的研究应该包括那些经历过记录中所包含的问题的人作为“内部研究者”的直接参与。如果披露和解释档案的过程是为了维护记录的主体个人的尊严，并确保研究的完整性，这种参与是必不可少的。
This article examines the significance, in the lives of those who experienced out-of-home care as children, of the archived records of their institutionalisation. The affective ramifications of accessing the records as adults are discussed, with especial focus on the records’ capacity to revive past suffering. Drawing on the work of Bruner (Crit Inq Autumn 1–21,1991, Consumption and everyday life, Sage, London, 1997) and MacIntyre (After virtue: a study in moral theory, University of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, 1981), a ‘narrative’ model of the self is utilised to account for the negative effect of systemic flaws in the records’ original composition. Such flaws, it is argued, have the potential to disrupt the individual’s sense of self. Both the authors, who experienced out-of-home care as children, present their own experiences of accessing the records, as case studies. The records’ manifold inaccuracies and inadequacies are interpreted in the light of prevailing welfare practices, in particular a highly damaging judgemental paradigm of gendered and moralistic assumptions of the inferior character of those in care. The authors conclude by arguing that research into the archives should involve the direct participation, as ‘insider researchers’, of those who experienced the matters contained in the records. Such participation is essential if the process of revealing and interpreting the archives is to maintain the dignity of the records’ subject individuals, and ensure the integrity of the research.
