项目摘要

Using a case study of Algeria from 1962 to the present, this research analyses the relationship between nation building, gender and narratives of the past across different generations and geographical spaces. Its focus is not only on shifting state constructions of female veterans of Algeria's bloody war of decolonisation, but also an analysis of how these 'models' have been received, ignored or rewritten by both female veterans in rural and urban areas and younger generations. The research thus seeks to open up new directions in existing research on nation building in Algeria, which has tended to focus on the role of a predominantly male, urban, and now ageing, elite in the institutionalisation, dissemination and manipulation of a homogenous and unifying national history. The project also aims to provide a point of comparison with studies of nation building, notably in post-colonial states. Furthermore, the project has significant contemporary relevance in the context of the 2011 'Arab Spring', as it seeks to provide insights into the national and transnational frames of reference of a segment of Algerian youth, namely trainee teachers. Recent events have highlighted that this an underexplored area in Anglophone academia. The main output of the project is a monograph entitled 'Rewriting the veteran: gender, geography, generation and the Algerian War.' The monograph will draw on a wide range of primary research which I have carried out, including interviews with female veterans in rural and urban areas, a case study of history students at the Ecole normale supérieure (teacher training college) in Algiers, archival research in France, Algeria, the UK and the US and an extensive study of the Algerian press. A linked period of institutional research leave before the proposed start of the Fellowship will enable me to complete targeted additional research in Algeria (including further research into student attitudes) and begin writing up. The six months of the award would thus be devoted to completing the monograph and disseminating the research. Chapter 1 of the monograph analyses the role of women in the Algerian War as both participants and symbols in nationalist and colonial propaganda. Chapter 2 examines the evolution of the female veteran in official history, with a particular emphasis on official discourse, national days, commemorative ceremonies, museums and monuments. Chapter 3 analyses how the female veteran has been used in counter-discourse, notably by feminist groups from the 1970s onwards, who in denouncing a 'post-independence betrayal' of female veterans rewrite these women as proto-feminist activists. It also seeks to explore how this has influenced much academic writing on women in the Algerian War. Chapters 4 and 5 use rural and urban case studies to explore how veterans themselves recount their past, the networks which emerge, the forms transmission takes and the interactions between these women, their stories and the dominant narrative. Chapter 6 focuses on youth perceptions of female veterans and the teaching of history more broadly, with case studies (2007/2011) demonstrating how in the context of Islamism, globalisation and the demographic decline of the war generation, representations of veterans and war narratives have metamorphosed.Through an evidence-based approach, the research thus seeks to develop a nuanced account of the contradictions, compromises and forms of resistance involved in nation building and political legitimisation in single party and authoritarian regimes, and the transnational contexts in which they operate.

本研究以1962年至今的阿尔及利亚为例，分析了不同世代和地理空间的国家建设、性别和对过去的叙述之间的关系。它的重点不仅是阿尔及利亚血腥的非殖民化战争中女性退伍军人的国家建设的转变，而且还分析了这些“模式”如何被农村和城市地区的女性退伍军人以及年轻一代所接受，忽视或改写。因此，这项研究旨在开辟新的方向，在阿尔及利亚，这往往侧重于一个主要是男性，城市，现在老龄化，精英在制度化，传播和操纵一个同质和统一的国家历史的作用，国家建设的现有研究。该项目还旨在提供一个与国家建设研究的比较点，特别是在后殖民国家。此外，该项目在2011年“阿拉伯之春”的背景下具有重要的当代意义，因为它试图深入了解阿尔及利亚青年中的一部分人，即实习教师的国家和跨国参照系。最近的事件突出表明，这是英语学术界探索不足的领域。该项目的主要成果是一本题为“改写老兵：性别、地理、世代和阿尔及利亚战争”的专著。“这本专著将借鉴我所进行的广泛的主要研究，包括对农村和城市地区女性退伍军人的采访，对阿尔及尔高等师范学院（师范学院）历史系学生的案例研究，对法国、阿尔及利亚、英国和美国的档案研究，以及对阿尔及利亚新闻界的广泛研究。在奖学金计划开始之前，一段时间的机构研究假将使我能够在阿尔及利亚完成有针对性的额外研究（包括对学生态度的进一步研究），并开始写作。因此，六个月的奖金将用于完成专著和传播研究成果。该专著的第一章分析了妇女在阿尔及利亚战争中作为民族主义和殖民主义宣传的参与者和象征的作用。第二章考察了女性老兵在官方历史中的演变，特别关注官方话语、国庆日、纪念仪式、博物馆和纪念碑。第3章分析了女性退伍军人如何被用于反话语，特别是从20世纪70年代起的女权主义团体，他们在谴责“独立后背叛”的女性退伍军人改写这些妇女作为原女权主义活动家。它还试图探讨这是如何影响了许多学术写作的妇女在阿尔及利亚战争。第四章和第五章使用农村和城市的案例研究，探讨退伍军人自己如何讲述他们的过去，出现的网络，传播的形式，以及这些妇女之间的互动，他们的故事和占主导地位的叙事。第六章通过案例研究，关注青年对女退伍军人的看法，以及更广泛的历史教学（2007/2011）展示了在伊斯兰主义、全球化和战争一代人口减少的背景下，退伍军人和战争叙事的表现方式如何发生变化。通过以证据为基础的方法，研究试图对矛盾进行细致入微的描述，在一党专制政权中，国家建设和政治合法化所涉及的妥协和抵抗形式，以及它们运作的跨国背景。
