这篇文章探讨了一种在过去几十年中获得关注的和平行动主义战略：记忆行动主义。记忆活动家在跨国政治中表现出时间上的转变：首先是过去，然后是未来。与全球循环的历史正义范式相关联，记忆活动家团体认为，对过去的新理解可能会导致对当前问题的新看法，并为未来提出替代解决方案。本文基于2001年以来对1948年以色列战争记忆活动家的民族志田野调查和话语分析，考察了积极冲突中反记忆的活动家生产。使用Coy et al.的反对知识生产的类型学，本文展示了以色列最大的记忆行动主义团体如何产生关于战争的“新”信息，批判性地评估了占主导地位的历史叙事，提供了一个替代的共享叙事，并开始设想巴勒斯坦难民的实际解决方案。然而，分析提出了额外的问题，超出了类型学的范围，主要是关于不平等的权力关系，不仅存在于占主导地位的和积极的生产对立的知识，而且在积极分子之间。
This article examines a strategy of peace activism that gained visibility in the last decades: memory activism. Memory activists manifest a temporal shift in transnational politics: first the past, then the future. Affiliated with the globally-circulating paradigm of historical justice, memory activist groups assume that a new understanding of the past could lead to a new perception of present problems and project alternative solutions for the future. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and discourse analysis among memory activists of the 1948 war in Israel since 2001, the article examines the activist production of counter-memory during active conflict. Using Coy et al.’s typology of oppositional knowledge-production, the article shows how the largest group of memory activism in Israel produced ‘new’ information on the war, critically assessed the dominant historical narrative, offered an alternative shared narrative, and began to envision practical solutions for Palestinian refugees. However, the analysis raises additional concerns that reach beyond the scope of the typology, primarily regarding the unequal power relations that exist not only between the dominant and activist production of oppositional knowledge, but also among activists.
