摘要本文的主题是一种情感的参与--也许是一种纠缠--将过去带入现在的能力。如果承认历史学家在做研究时会感受到情感并不新鲜，那么这种情感的关键能力就没有得到充分的探索，特别是对于我们这些与死者打交道的人来说。在探索档案研究中的情感问题时，我与一系列学科的学者进行了类似的对话，从“档案热”的工作，到主观性和研究伦理，到情感记忆，再到阅读和哀悼的历史。我利用这一奖学金来探索我爱上非常不讨人喜欢的苏格兰银行家吉尔伯特因尼斯（斯托，1751-1832）的尝试，论证了对我们的情感反应进行批判性评估的重要性，这是对历史知识的富有成效的贡献。
ABSTRACT The ability of an emotional engagement – perhaps an entanglement – to bring the past into the present is the subject of this paper. If acknowledging that historians feel emotions whilst doing research is hardly new, the critical capacities of such emotion are under-explored, particularly for those of us who work with the dead. In exploring the issues raised by emotions in archival research, I engage with similar conversations by scholars in a range of disciplines, from the work on ‘archive fever’, to subjectivity and research ethics, to affective memory, to histories of reading and mourning. I use this scholarship to explore my attempt to fall in love with the highly unlikeable Scottish banker Gilbert Innes of Stowe (1751–1832), arguing for the importance of a critical assessment of our emotional response as a productive contribution to historical knowledge-making.
