Lives Transit Steamship Passages Late

项目摘要

Lives in transit are a key feature of the 21st century world. Today, social orders are established and can flourish independently from territorial orders. Movement, transition and exchange form the frameworks within which contemporary societies, and groups in those societies, reinvent themselves. This project offers new historical context for such contemporary phenomena by examining past experiences of globalisation. It proposes that we focus on steamships as exemplary historical spaces of transit, and on the people within these spaces as the understudied protagonists of globalisation during the period in question. To study the environment of the steamship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is to place one of the symbols of the modern world under the magnifying glass. Analysing shipboard life reveals social orders in transit. Long-distance ship passengers found themselves in a phase of partial suspension, thrown into the midst of an artificial community of other travellers. In the absence of a familiar, land-based sociocultural framework, social relations needed to be re-established, re-enacted and often also adapted on board. The isolated and seemingly ephemeral phase of transit thus took on a formative character, becoming the scene of group- and identity-building processes. Such processes, moreover, were intimately connected to the periods before and after the journey. Suspended in transit, passengers reflected, rebuilt and redefined the past just as they also imagined and planned for the future. The project examines the space of the steamship as an extraordinary historical arena, in which crew and passengers alike had to make sense of their surroundings and of their own position therein. The project asks how historical actors on long-distance steamship passages negotiated their social positions during this phase of transit. It examines processes of identity- and community-building, as well as the particularities of social orders on ships. How did a sense of community emerge on the ship? How did 'passengers' reassure themselves of land-based markers such as social status and national identity vis-à-vis other seaborne groups and vis-à-vis the world outside the ship? What were the emotional, psychopathological and physiological consequences of being in transit? Where did the journey begin, and where did it end? The project's principal aim is to reconceive our understanding of global connections and of the historiographies they inspire - 'connected', 'entangled' and 'global' history. Using the steamship as an exemplar, the project takes transit to be both a phase and an epistemological paradigm. It combines social, cultural and digital history approaches to the subject matter in order to highlight the profound social, cultural and political ramifications of being in transit;ramifications that are relevant also to today's world. In so doing, we offer new ways of framing and narrating the discipline of global history itself.

在途生活是21世纪世纪世界的一个重要特征。今天，社会秩序已经建立起来，并且可以独立于领土秩序而繁荣发展。流动、过渡和交换构成了当代社会和这些社会中的群体重塑自我的框架。该项目通过研究全球化的过去经验，为这种当代现象提供了新的历史背景。它建议我们把重点放在轮船作为典型的历史运输空间，以及这些空间中的人作为所讨论时期全球化的未被充分研究的主角。研究19世纪末20世纪初轮船的环境，就是把现代世界的象征之一放在放大镜下。分析船上的生活可以揭示出社会秩序的变迁。长途轮船的乘客发现自己处于一个部分暂停的阶段，被扔到一个由其他旅行者组成的人工社区中。在缺乏一个熟悉的、以土地为基础的社会文化框架的情况下，社会关系需要重新建立、重新制定，而且往往也需要在船上进行调整。因此，孤立和看似短暂的过渡阶段具有形成性，成为群体和身份建立过程的场所。此外，这些过程与旅行之前和之后的时期密切相关。在运输途中，乘客们反思、重建和重新定义了过去，就像他们想象和计划未来一样。该项目将蒸汽船的空间视为一个非凡的历史竞技场，船员和乘客都必须了解他们的周围环境以及他们自己在其中的位置。该项目探讨了在这一运输阶段，长途轮船通道上的历史参与者如何协商他们的社会地位。它考察了身份和社区建设的过程，以及船舶上社会秩序的特殊性。船上的社区意识是如何产生的？相对于其他海上群体和船外的世界，“乘客”如何让自己相信陆地上的标志，如社会地位和民族认同？在运输过程中会产生什么样的情感、心理和生理后果？旅程从哪里开始开始，又在哪里结束？该项目的主要目的是重新审视我们对全球联系的理解，以及它们所激发的历史编纂--“联系”、“纠缠”和“全球”历史。以蒸汽船为例，该项目将过境视为一个阶段和一个认识论范式。它结合了社会，文化和数字历史的方法来处理这一主题，以突出深刻的社会，文化和政治影响的过境;影响也与当今世界有关。在这样做的过程中，我们提供了新的方式来构建和叙述全球历史本身的学科。
