Cultural conflict and self-other perception in modern European history: memory, record, archives

该项目侧重于现代欧洲人对自我-他者身份的认知和构建的历史方面，特别涉及记忆、记录和档案。它由前线的12位历史学家组成，试图强调的不是内生的知识谱系，而是与他者的相遇和交流，以及最终建立在人文主义和启蒙来源基础上的百科全书式的知识和智慧。历史和知识分子对普遍性和公共性的意愿是重要的。项目成员希望克服迄今的知识分割，并对21世纪的人文学科有一个良好的展望。该项目是一次鼓舞人心和有益的经历，但三年时间不足以完成我们的好产品。在未来几年，我们不仅会看到学术文章和书籍，还会有面向公众的外展活动。

The project has focused on the historical aspect of modern European perception and construction of self-other identity, with special reference to memory, record and archives. Made up of twelve historians in the front-line, it has tried to emphasize not the endogenous genealogy of knowledge but the encounter and exchanges with 'the other' and the eventual building up of encyclopedic knowledge and wisdom based upon the humanist and enlightenment sources. Historical and intellectual will to generality and publicness was significant. The project members have wished to overcome the intellectual compartmentalization to date and to acquire a good perspective for the humanities of the twenty-first century.The project has been an inspiring and profitable experience, but three years are not sufficient to finish our good products. Some years to come will see not only our academic articles and books but also outreach activities to the public.
