项目摘要

This project is a collaboration between the Department of Drama at the University of Exeter, the Department of Dance Studies at Roehampton University, and the founding members of 'The Southall Story' organisation. It aims to research, document and disseminate the cultural history of Southall since 1979. This date is significant, as it was in this year that the range of communities within Southall came together to resist racism and violence which were threatening the town. The resultant uprisings led to the death of school-teacher Blair Peach, and in response to these events, a range of social, political and cultural organisations and festivals were created to unite the communities together in resistance and celebration. The Southall Monitoring Group, the Southall Black Sisters, and the Southall Youth Movement were founded, and alongside this, new forms of performing arts were created out of the coming together of artists from different communities and backgrounds, leading to innovative forms of performance and artistic expression. This connection between the arts and the social-political contexts is of great importance in the subsequent cultural history of the town, and its contribution to the wider cultural life of Britain, and beyond. Southall has often been seen as a model of a diaspora community, and has been of immense importance in the study of migration within Britain. This project aims to contribute a unique perspective on the town by looking across the art forms, to examine the ways in which they influence each other, which is a key factor of Asian performance aesthetics. Additionally, the performance forms will be studied in relation to their emergence from political and social events. Through a mixture of interviews and gathering of material, a vital oral and cultural history of the town will be created, which will be of benefit both to the local communities, and to the study of diasporas and migration within academia. The mixture of academics and practitioners on the research team will ensure a wide range of research and forms of outputs, which will have an extensive audience due to the forms of dissemination including a public symposium and exhibition, alongside a co-authored book, three conference papers, a website and a digital archive, leading to a documentation of the history which will be available for public access.

这个项目是埃克塞特大学戏剧系、罗汉普顿大学舞蹈研究系和“绍瑟尔故事”组织创始成员之间的合作。它旨在研究、记录和传播自1979年以来绍瑟尔的文化历史。这一天意义重大，因为正是在这一年，绍瑟尔内的一系列社区走到一起，抵制威胁该镇的种族主义和暴力。由此产生的起义导致了学校教师布莱尔·皮奇的死亡，为了应对这些事件，一系列社会，政治和文化组织和节日被创建，以团结社区共同抵抗和庆祝。成立了绍瑟尔监测小组、绍瑟尔黑人姐妹篇会和绍瑟尔青年运动，与此同时，来自不同社区和背景的艺术家聚集在一起，创造了新的表演艺术形式，导致了表演和艺术表达的创新形式。艺术与社会政治背景之间的这种联系在该镇随后的文化历史中非常重要，并对英国及其他地区更广泛的文化生活做出了贡献。绍瑟尔经常被视为散居社区的典范，在英国内部的移民研究中具有巨大的重要性。该项目旨在通过跨艺术形式的观察，为这个城市提供一个独特的视角，研究它们相互影响的方式，这是亚洲表演美学的一个关键因素。此外，表演形式将研究他们从政治和社会事件的出现。通过采访和收集材料，将创造一个重要的口述和文化历史的城市，这将有利于当地社区，并在学术界的散居和移民的研究。研究团队中学者和从业人员的混合将确保广泛的研究和产出形式，由于传播形式，包括公共研讨会和展览，以及共同撰写的书籍，三份会议文件，一个网站和一个数字档案，将有广泛的受众，从而形成一份历史文件，供公众查阅。
