项目摘要

Within the social sciences, mainstream migration theories have been criticised for their insufficient capacity to address the complex nature of the phenomenon. The necessity to bridge history and migration theory through a cross-disciplinary approach has also been welcomed among migration historians. On another front, cultural historians have recently advocated an approach to migration capable of transcending the limitations of a dualistic notion of 'native' versus 'migrant' cultures. Finally, there is general agreement that research work on migration and human mobility needs to question traditional notions and definitions of communities and 'native' cultures.Following these premises, the proposed research activity will establish a network of international scholars who will define the theoretical tenets of a future project on the impact of migratory flows crossing the Italian peninsula stretching back to the first millennium BC. The more general goal is to develop new interdisciplinary interpretive lenses which can provide a model for the study of socio-cultural transformations generated by human mobility in every society and context in a broad global perspective. The activities will specifically focus on the case of Italy, a geographically well-defined peninsula, which from ancient times has been at the crossroad of demographic movements. We will look at the impact of mobility on the human landscape of the peninsula, without assuming the long-term existence of an extant local or 'Italian' culture at any given period. The history of Italian mobility is already well studied and documented for specific periods and this will bring established expertise and research data to our project. This proposal is innovative for the following reasons:1. Human mobility is considered here as the independent variable and we focus instead on its impacts, effects, and perceptions. In this way, we aim to investigate how this approach can refine our understanding of the reciprocal effects of human mobility and the transformations/response of a society at any given historical time.2. By positioning the concept of place within a framework of constant mobility, we recognise it both as a geographical location and an issue of culture, identity and belonging, thus exploring the extent to which concepts like place and migration are cultural constructs. 3. The initiative comes from a core group of social, political and cultural historians who will work on the elaboration of theories and concepts in a dialogue across disciplines. All participants and particularly the two PIs and and Research Facilitator (who has played a central role in the definition of this project), share the conviction that 'bridge building might best proceed through the development of interdisciplinary research projects on a series of common questions to which scholars in different disciplines could bring distinct insights drawn from their particular epistemological frameworks' (Brettel and Hollfield 2000: 16). The aim is to create an upstream influence through shared ideas which will ensure that the resulting work is more than the sum of its parts.4. The timespan covered by the prospective participants will stretch back to the first millennium BC, providing an unprecedented diachronical perspective in which approaches and methodologies will be discussed and tested.

在社会科学领域，主流移徙理论因其处理这一现象的复杂性的能力不足而受到批评。通过跨学科方法将历史和移徙理论联系起来的必要性也受到移徙历史学家的欢迎。在另一方面，文化历史学家最近主张采取一种能够超越“本土”文化与“移民”文化二元观念的局限性的移徙方法。最后，人们普遍同意，关于移徙和人口流动的研究工作需要质疑社区和“本土”文化的传统概念和定义，根据这些前提，拟议的研究活动将建立一个国际学者网络，他们将确定关于跨越意大利半岛的移徙流的影响的未来项目的理论原则，该项目可追溯到公元前第一个千年。更普遍的目标是开发新的跨学科的解释镜头，可以提供一个模型，在每个社会和背景下，在广泛的全球视角的人类流动所产生的社会文化变革的研究。这些活动将特别侧重于意大利的情况，这是一个地理上界限分明的半岛，自古以来一直处于人口流动的十字路口。我们将研究流动性对半岛人文景观的影响，而不假设在任何特定时期存在一种现存的当地或“意大利”文化。意大利移动的历史已经被很好地研究和记录了特定时期，这将为我们的项目带来成熟的专业知识和研究数据。这一建议之所以具有创新性，原因如下：1.在这里，人口流动被认为是独立变量，我们关注的是其影响，效果和感知。通过这种方式，我们的目标是研究这种方法如何改善我们对人类流动性的相互影响以及社会在任何特定历史时期的转变/反应的理解。通过定位在不断流动的框架内的地方的概念，我们认识到它既是一个地理位置和文化，身份和归属感的问题，从而探索在何种程度上的概念，如地方和迁移是文化结构。3.该倡议来自社会，政治和文化历史学家的核心小组，他们将在跨学科对话中阐述理论和概念。所有与会者，特别是两名PI和研究协调员（他在该项目的定义中发挥了核心作用），都坚信“建立桥梁的最佳方式是就一系列共同问题开展跨学科研究项目，不同学科的学者可以从他们特定的认识论框架中得出不同的见解”（Brettel和Hollfield 2000：16）。其目的是通过共同的想法产生上游影响，这将确保最终的工作超过其部分的总和。未来参与者所涵盖的时间跨度将追溯到公元前第一个千年，提供了一个前所未有的历时视角，其中将讨论和测试各种方法和方法。
