项目摘要

This study will extend existing scholarship about 'cultural activism' by shining light on the ways activist-led forms of creative practice can serve as a means of claiming space and building community identities. Its aim is to understand both the nature of these activities (e.g., processes and ways of organising); as well as the consequences for localities, including the implications for social cohesion, exclusion and conflict. The concept of cultural activism has been used to describe a diverse range of creative practice such as culture jamming, subvertising, and rebel clowning intended to challenge 'dominant ways of seeing and constructing the world' (Routledge, 2010: 4). This form of activism is often associated with a politics of resistance; to global capitalism, to an authoritarian regime, to oppressive social and cultural norms. However, in addition to its uses as a form of resistance to global injustices, there is growing evidence to suggest that activist-led forms of creative practice can serve as a way to advance particular claims to space and build place-identities. This review will make a valuable contribution to this under-explored area of inquiry by establishing a foundation and conceptual framework for future research. This new line of enquiry will be based on a synthesis of literatures on cultural activism, community activism and creative practice, and place identities. Through this work, the study seeks to inform the future shape, focus and priorities of the connected communities programme. The review will proceed through the following four activities: Phase one - conducting the search: a short review process followed by an extensive search across a wide range of research databases (e.g., Web of Knowledge, the British Library). Phase two - categorising and classifying the research: organisation of collected literature and classification of key themes, arguments, research methods, and theories. Phase three - analysis and synthesis: a detailed interpretation of collected literature. Phase four - writing the review: a draft, and then final research review. This project also includes a significant component of collaborating activities. The review is informed by a participatory action research approach as community members have been key players in shaping the proposal. This engagement will continue through two key events: a dialogue café and public workshop/exhibition in the neighbourhood of Stokes Croft, Bristol, a centre of cultural activism in the UK. Academic outreach will proceed through presentation of major themes at a series of conferences and a symposium sponsored by the University of the West of England where international scholars will discuss the review and present research on cultural activism and 'place'. The nine-month study will be managed by Dr Michael Buser who will conduct and write the bulk of the review. Dr. Buser is an early career researcher (receiving his PhD in 2010) with a background in community planning. Professor Jane Arthurs, a leading scholar in cultural studies whose work focuses on the politics of creative resistance, will perform an advisory and mentoring role. In her capacity as Director of Research for UWE's Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education, Professor Arthurs will strengthen the project's ties to the Connected Communities Knowledge Hub located in the faculty's Digital Cultures Research Centre.

这项研究将扩展现有的关于“文化行动主义”的学术研究，通过揭示活动家领导的创造性实践形式可以作为一种要求空间和建立社区身份的手段。其目的是了解这些活动的性质（例如，过程和组织方式）；以及对地方的影响，包括对社会凝聚力、排斥和冲突的影响。文化行动主义的概念被用来描述各种各样的创造性实践，如文化干扰、颠覆和反叛小丑，旨在挑战“观察和构建世界的主导方式”（Routledge, 2010: 4）。这种形式的行动主义通常与抵抗政治联系在一起；对全球资本主义，对专制政权，对压迫性的社会和文化规范。然而，除了作为一种抵抗全球不公正的形式之外，越来越多的证据表明，由活动家领导的创造性实践形式可以作为一种推进对空间的特殊要求和建立地方身份的方式。这篇综述将通过为未来的研究建立基础和概念框架，为这一尚未开发的研究领域做出宝贵的贡献。这条新的研究路线将基于对文化行动主义、社区行动主义和创造性实践以及地方身份的文献综合。通过这项工作，该研究旨在为互联社区项目的未来形态、重点和优先事项提供信息。审查将通过以下四个活动进行：第一阶段-进行检索：一个简短的审查过程，然后在广泛的研究数据库（例如，Web of Knowledge，大英图书馆）中进行广泛的检索。第二阶段-分类和分类研究：收集文献的组织和分类的关键主题，论点，研究方法和理论。第三阶段：分析与综合：对所收集文献的详细解读。第四阶段——撰写综述：初稿，然后是最终的研究综述。该项目还包括协作活动的重要组成部分。审查采用参与性行动研究方法，因为社区成员在制定提案方面发挥了关键作用。这种接触将通过两个关键活动继续进行：在英国文化活动中心布里斯托尔斯托克斯克罗夫特附近的对话咖啡馆和公共研讨会/展览。学术拓展将通过在一系列会议和由西英格兰大学主办的研讨会上介绍主要主题来进行，国际学者将在研讨会上讨论和介绍文化激进主义和“地方”的研究。这项为期9个月的研究将由Michael Buser博士管理，他将主持并撰写大部分综述。Buser博士是一名早期职业研究员（2010年获得博士学位），拥有社区规划背景。简·阿瑟教授是文化研究领域的领军学者，其工作重点是创造性抵抗的政治，她将担任顾问和指导角色。作为UWE艺术、创意产业和教育学院的研究主任，arthur教授将加强该项目与位于该学院数字文化研究中心的连接社区知识中心的联系。
