2014年8月4日,保罗·康明斯和汤姆·派珀的标志性作品《鲜血席卷的土地和红色的海洋》在伦敦塔开幕。伦敦塔护城河中的888,246朵罂粟花中的每一朵都代表着一个在第一次世界大战中丧生的英国人。本文使用了一个独特的数据集,其中包含1488个对该装置的回应,以探讨这种高调干预的影响。对这些数据的系统分析使我们能够探索百年纪念作为纪念活动的催化剂,重点关注我们的研究所看到的“不假思索的记忆”。我们详细介绍了游客的反应如何激活了一系列熟悉的比喻过去的冲突,这往往忽视了最近的工作,试图多样化的角度对过去。这让人质疑,在百年纪念活动的早期阶段,与第一次世界大战多元叙事相关的政策目标在多大程度上取得了成功,并可能在未来取得成功。随着“百年纪念崇拜”越来越深入教育和政策框架,并在国家媒体和文化组织的节目中折射,我们认为,从《血色大地》和《红色海洋》这一史无前例的案例中,我们可以学到很多关于如何有效地组织纪念活动的东西。
On 4 August 2014, the now iconic evolving work by Paul Cummins and Tom Piper,Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, opened at the Tower of London. Each of the 888,246 poppies in the Tower's moat represented one British life lost in the First World War (FWW). This article uses a unique dataset of 1488 responses to the installation in order to probe the impacts of this high profile intervention.Systematic analysis of that data allows us to explore the centenary as a catalyst for remembrance activity, focusing on the kinds of “unthinking remembrance” that our research made visible. We detail how visitor responses activated a series of familiar tropes about past conflict, which often neglected recent work that has attempted to diversify perspectives about the past. This calls into question the extent to which policy objectives associated with pluralising narratives about the FWW during this centenary had been successful at this early stage in the commemoration and are likely to be successful in the future.As the “cult of the centenary” becomes ever more embedded within education and policy frameworks, and refracted within the programming of national media and cultural organisations, we contend that much can be learned about how to usefully frame commemorative activities from the unprecedented case ofBlood Swept Lands and Seas of Red.
