Ending Terrorism Told Former Italian

项目摘要

Building on previous work by the Applicant, the research innovatively undertakes a comparative analysis of the self-narratives of different types of terrorists. Drawing on the Italian case study but also through a comparison with other European countries, the proposal addresses issues which have been under-researched, especially questions related to disengagement from, as opposed to engagement with, terrorism. The analysis focuses on the mental and psychological processes linked to de-radicalisation, as narrated by former terrorists and the ways in which they renegotiate their identity in this process. To this end the research analyses in depth the political memoirs of leaders and members of extreme-left and extreme-right terrorist groups, which operated in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. Empirical material consists primarily of autobiographies, interviews, public debates, including roughly 50-hour recordings of televised interviews. Memoirs by former, mainly left-wing, terrorists as well as books containing original interviews with former terrorists amount to at least 50 volumes since 1990. More recently, former extreme-right terrorists have started to talk about their past involvement in terrorist violence, including bomb attacks against innocent civilians. Further interview transcripts are kept in the archives of various Italian Institutes: Casa della Memoria e della Storia, Rome; Casa della Memoria, Brescia; Istituto Cattaneo, Bologna. Surprisingly, these narratives have not been systematically examined, yet they form a unique and extremely rich source of first-hand testimony, providing invaluable insight into processes of youth de-radicalisation, social re-integration of ex-terrorists, as well as personal and collective healing and self-identity constructions. In addition, the Applicant will carry out further interviews with former terrorists, focusing on disengagement. The research also addresses issues related to the social reintegration of the 'terrorist subject', exploring the nature of public/voluntary projects of reintegration and the ways in which they promote non-violent and democratic narratives and practices. The study also examines the role played by victims' associations, commemoration ceremonies, monuments and other cultural initiatives in providing a wider context of 'pacification'. As well as consulting published material, the Applicant will carry out interviews with Italian associations of the victims of terrorisms and other associations engaged in educational/cultural projects of national 'pacification'.Finally, the research analyses the Italian case in a broader European context, through a comparison with Northern Ireland, Spain, France and Germany. The proposed research will result in completion of a jointly authored book, with Dr Philip Cooke, entitled Ending Terrorim, Italian Style, to be published by Routledge.Table of Contents:Introduction: A brief overview of the literature on terrorism. 1. Political memoirs and the study of terrorism: This chapter discusses the validity of studying terrorism through the memoirs of former terrorists, with reference to a variety of disciplinary approaches, from communication analysis (e.g. narrative analysis or discourse analysis) to psychology (autobiographical memory, narrative psychology) and history (how collective memory is constructed). 2. Becoming terrorists: This chapter explores how those involved in terrorism in Italy in the 1970s narrate their path to political violence and membership of a terrorist organization.3. Disengagement and disassociation: Building on the preceding section, this chapter explores the circumstances in which terrorists withdraw from violence and the manner in which they narrate their experience.4. Negotiating personal and collective healing and identity after terrorism. This chapter investigates post-terrorist constructions of the self. 5. Italy in comparative perspective. Conclusion.

该研究以申请人之前的工作为基础，创新性地对不同类型恐怖分子的自我叙述进行了比较分析。该提案借鉴了意大利的案例研究，同时也通过与其他欧洲国家的比较，解决了尚未充分研究的问题，特别是与脱离而不是参与恐怖主义有关的问题。分析的重点是与去激进化相关的精神和心理过程，正如前恐怖分子所叙述的那样，以及他们在此过程中重新谈判自己身份的方式。为此，本研究深入分析了 20 世纪 60 年代和 1970 年代在意大利活动的极左和极右恐怖组织领导人和成员的政治回忆录。经验材料主要包括自传、采访、公开辩论，包括大约 50 小时的电视采访录音。自 1990 年以来，前恐怖分子（主要是左翼恐怖分子）的回忆录以及包含对前恐怖分子的原始采访的书籍至少有 50 卷。最近，前极右恐怖分子开始谈论他们过去参与的恐怖暴力活动，包括对无辜平民的炸弹袭击。进一步的采访记录保存在意大利各研究所的档案中：罗马 Casa della Memoria e della Storia； Casa della Memoria，布雷西亚；卡塔内奥研究所，博洛尼亚。令人惊讶的是，这些叙述并没有经过系统的审查，但它们形成了独特且极其丰富的第一手证词来源，为青年去激进化、前恐怖分子重新融入社会、以及个人和集体治愈和自我认同建构的过程提供了宝贵的见解。此外，申请人还将对前恐怖分子进行进一步访谈，重点是脱离接触。该研究还解决了与“恐怖主义主体”重返社会有关的问题，探讨了重返社会的公共/自愿项目的性质以及它们促进非暴力和民主叙事和实践的方式。该研究还探讨了受害者协会、纪念仪式、纪念碑和其他文化举措在提供更广泛的“和平”背景方面所发挥的作用。除了查阅已发表的材料外，申请人还将对意大利恐怖主义受害者协会和其他从事国家“和平”教育/文化项目的协会进行采访。最后，本研究通过与北爱尔兰、西班牙、法国和德国的比较，在更广泛的欧洲背景下分析了意大利的案例。拟议的研究将与菲利普·库克博士共同撰写一本题为《结束恐怖主义，意大利风格》的书，该书将由 Routledge 出版。目录：简介：恐怖主义文献的简要概述。 1.政治回忆录和恐怖主义研究：本章讨论了通过前恐怖分子的回忆录来研究恐怖主义的有效性，参考了各种学科方法，从传播分析（例如叙事分析或话语分析）到心理学（自传记忆、叙事心理学）和历史（集体记忆如何构建）。 2. 成为恐怖分子：本章探讨 20 世纪 70 年代意大利参与恐怖主义的人如何讲述他们走向政治暴力和加入恐怖组织的道路。 3．脱离和脱离：本章在前一节的基础上探讨了恐怖分子退出暴力的情况以及他们讲述经历的方式。4．恐怖主义后谈判个人和集体的治愈和身份。本章研究恐怖主义后的自我建构。 5.比较视角下的意大利。结论。
