In July 2012, viewers from across the world watched as the London Olympics Opening Ceremony performed -- and played with -- the longstanding national tradition of imagining a dynamic Britain as a new Jerusalem. Jerusalem is perhaps the world's most iconic city: the place that exists most resonantly as both a physical space and a series of often-contested memories and ideas with a pan-Mediterranean and pan-European heritage. This project will adopt a long historical view to explore the variety of ways the city has been imaginatively rebuilt, reconquered, and relocated across Europe and beyond, from the Siege of Jerusalem during the First Crusade (1099) to the present day. We will draw together a network of experts from Britain, Europe, and the United States to build the first reception history of a city, and to argue for Jerusalem as an idea which has been appropriated and reworked across a rich terrain of material remakings, policy, public discourse, literature and the arts. Our invesigations will take us from pornographic conceits to Utopian visions, investigating how and why Jerusalem became an archetype for division, lamentation, and loss, as well as for celestial glory and novel projects in urban planning.The case study of 'Imagining Jerusalem' offers an ideal opportunity to confront directly some of the difficult issues facing research in the Arts and Humanities today: what is the meaning, and what are the politics, of heritage as a cultural movement? How are cultural and collective memories forged, and how do they contribute to, but also delimit, ideas about the future and its possible shapes? What acts of imagination are necessary to interpret the lessons of the past within the present moment? How have popular and collective forms of memory and culture been used within, or helped to shape, political, legal, and conceptual discourses at crucial historical moments? The proposed network will create a hub for researchers to address these questions through a specific, and highly resonant, theme.Network members will meet three times at workshops in York, London, and Parma; each workshop will be informed by an accessible, public strand, which will draw on key local examples, from the Fausto Levi Synagogue and Museum in Soragna (formerly a synagogue for the Jewish diaspora excluded from Parma, then a Fascist social club before its most recent reincarnation as a space of heritage and memorialisation), to the Jerusalem Chamber in Westminster Abbey, site of a series of key political and dramatic moments for England and its neighbours. We will sponsor a series of double-header public lectures which will be designed explicitly to bring past histories and present concerns into conversation, and we will invite members of the public to join us for a 'foodways' event, exploring how gastronomy (from the pilgrim dinner of bread and cheese to the explicitly conciliatory cooking of Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi) has brought the flavours and customs of Jerusalem into communities across Europe. Our findings and conversations will be published as part of a blog, with a global reach, which will feature podcasts, short films, and interviews with network members, as well as a series of compelling historical case studies and examples. We will work together to create a cross-period special issue of a major, international journal, showcasing both the vexed and vibrant history of Jerusalem as idea and imagined space, and the rewards of pan-historical, comparative, interdisciplinary research.

2012年7月，来自世界各地的观众观看了伦敦奥运会开幕式表演--并玩弄--将一个充满活力的英国想象成一个新的耶路撒冷的长期民族传统。耶路撒冷也许是世界上最具标志性的城市：这个地方既是一个物理空间，也是一系列经常有争议的记忆和想法，具有泛地中海和泛欧洲的遗产。这个项目将采用一个长期的历史观点，探索城市的各种方式已经被毁灭性地重建，重新征服，并在欧洲和其他地区重新安置，从第一次十字军东征（1099年）期间的耶路撒冷围攻到今天。我们将汇集来自英国，欧洲和美国的专家网络，以建立一个城市的第一个接受历史，并为耶路撒冷作为一个想法，已被挪用和改造的材料改造，政策，公共话语，文学和艺术的丰富地形。我们的研究将把我们从色情的幻想带到乌托邦的愿景，调查耶路撒冷如何以及为什么成为分裂，哀悼和损失的原型，以及天体荣耀和城市规划中的新颖项目。“想象耶路撒冷”的案例研究提供了一个理想的机会，直接面对当今艺术和人文科学研究面临的一些困难问题：遗产作为一种文化运动的意义是什么，政治是什么？文化和集体记忆是如何形成的，它们如何促进和界定关于未来及其可能形态的想法？什么样的想象行为对于在当下解释过去的教训是必要的？在关键的历史时刻，大众和集体形式的记忆和文化如何被用于政治、法律的和概念话语，或如何帮助塑造这些话语？拟议的网络将为研究人员建立一个中心，通过一个具体的、引起高度共鸣的主题来解决这些问题。每个研讨会都将通过一个可访问的公共链提供信息，该链将借鉴索拉尼亚的福斯托·列维犹太教堂和博物馆的关键本地实例（以前是被排斥在帕尔马之外的犹太侨民的犹太教堂，当时是一个法西斯社交俱乐部，最近又变成了一个遗产和纪念场所），到威斯敏斯特修道院的耶路撒冷会议厅，这里是英格兰及其邻国一系列关键政治和戏剧性时刻的所在地。我们将赞助一系列的双头公开讲座，这些讲座将明确地将过去的历史和现在的关注纳入对话，我们将邀请公众参加我们的“食品之路”活动，探索美食如何（从面包和奶酪的朝圣者晚餐到Yotam Atolenghi和Sami Tamimi明确和解的烹饪）把耶路撒冷的风味和习俗带到了欧洲各地。我们的调查结果和对话将作为博客的一部分发布，具有全球影响力，其中将包括播客，短片和对网络成员的采访，以及一系列引人注目的历史案例研究和例子。我们将共同努力创建一个主要的国际期刊的跨时期特刊，展示耶路撒冷作为思想和想象空间的烦恼和充满活力的历史，以及泛历史，比较，跨学科研究的回报。
