本文多样化和深化我们的理解北方爱尔兰人定居在英国的麻烦（c.1969-1998）的时代，探索以前研究不足的目的地：苏格兰西部。以格拉斯哥的北方爱尔兰移民的口述历史采访为特色，它考虑了两个地方之间几个世纪的文化交流如何塑造移民的记忆和主体性。我们的叙述者在北方爱尔兰的童年被宗派仇恨和冲突所打断。在苏格兰，类似的--尽管不那么暴力或系统性--宗派态度的存在，往往成为移民认为他们留下的冲突的记忆触发器，重新打开心理创伤，唤醒被压抑的创伤。通过对家的理论概念的了解，分析研究了家和其他地方之间的趋同，打破了移民作为两者之间的分离的想法。因此，本文提供了一个新的视角，既北方爱尔兰人在英国的存在，并在苏格兰西部的宗教间关系。
This article diversifies and deepens our understanding of Northern Irish settlement in Great Britain during the era of the Troubles (c.1969–1998) by exploring a previously under-researched destination: the West of Scotland. Featuring oral history interviews with Northern Irish migrants in Glasgow, it considers how centuries of cultural exchange between the two places shaped migrants’ memories and subjectivities. Our narrators’ childhoods in Northern Ireland were punctuated by sectarian rancour and conflict. The presence in Scotland of similar – albeit less violent or systemic – sectarian attitudes often acted as mnemonic triggers to a conflict migrants felt they had left behind, reopening psychological wounds and reviving repressed traumas. Informed by theoretical conceptions of home, the analysis examines convergences between home and elsewhere, disrupting the idea of migration as a severance between the two. The article therefore offers a new perspective on both the Northern Irish presence in Great Britain and on interreligious relations in the West of Scotland.
