Politics of Recognition: Post-1990 cinematic remembrance of the Holocaust and Porajmos in Romania and the Republic of Moldova in comparative perspective

本研究项目侧重于《/90》之后的电影制作，涉及罗马尼亚和摩尔多瓦共和国对犹太人(大屠杀)和罗姆人(波拉杰莫斯)的迫害和灭绝。在这两个国家，对法西斯主义和第二次世界大战期间驱逐和谋杀犹太人和罗姆人的记忆是历史政治中有争议的领域，与两个社会承认这些少数群体的当代政治密切相关。这些冲突将从两个研究角度进行分析：第一，从叙事结构和图像模式的角度来考察电影本身。跨部门的视角将有助于揭示性别、种族、宗教和其他社会类别之间的联系，在制作过去的电影叙事时存在差异。第二，电影的制作和接受将被视为围绕社会承认和犹太人和罗姆人在两个社会中的社会地位的社会谈判的焦点。民族志方法将有助于考察这些历史政治冲突中的行动者和演员群体。这项研究将努力使用各种比较和迁移分析：关于大屠杀和波拉杰莫斯的电影制作将被放在彼此之间的关系上，罗马尼亚和摩尔多瓦共和国的发展将在其特定和相互构成的要素中得到考虑。本研究项目的目的是深入描述罗马尼亚和摩尔多瓦共和国对少数群体政治的国家自我形象和社会自我理解的重塑。为此，电影和记忆之间的关系将从以演员为中心、以实践为中心的欧洲民族学角度得到更准确的确定。

This research project focuses on film production after 1989/90 that deals with the persecution and extermination of Jews (Holocaust) and Roma (Porajmos) in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. In both countries, memories of the deportation and murder of Jews and Roma during Fascism and the Second World War represent disputed domains of the politics of history closely linked to contemporary politics of recognition of these minorities in both societies. These conflicts are to be analyzed through two research perspectives:First, the films themselves will be examined with view to narrative structures and iconographic patterns. An intersectional perspective will help to uncover the connections between gender, ethnicity, religion and other social categories of difference in the production of cinematic narratives of the past.Second, the production and reception of films will be considered as focal points in societal negotiations surrounding societal recognition and the social place of Jews and Roma in both societies. Ethnographic methods will help to examine the actors and actor groups in these conflicts of history politics. Particular attention will be given to the role of films in struggles for recognition.This research will strive to use various comparative and transfer analyses: cinematic productions about the Holocaust and Porajmos will be placed in relation to one another, and the development in Romania and the Republic of Moldova will be considered in its particular and mutually-constitutive elements.The aim of this research project is to provide a thick description of the refiguration of national self-images and societal self-understandings in Romania and the Republic of Moldova view to minority politics. For this purpose, the relationship between film and memory will be more precisely determined from an actor-centered, practice-focused perspective of European Ethnology.
