项目摘要

The principal objective of ‘The snows of yesteryear: narrating extreme weather’ is to reveal and relate past experiences, both historical and more recent, as ways of understanding and coping with phenomena increasingly regarded as markers of climate change. It will explore ways that these events are remembered and mythologised, and interpret what is ultimately learned from them as both warning and opportunity.The project builds on the work developed by the AHRC “Historic Weather” Network, by continuing to scope and assess arts and humanities documentary and narrative primary source materials and demonstrate their value for research of historic weather and climate. It draws into collaboration the Network Co-I Prof Lorna Hughes (now University of Wales) and Prof Mike Pearson (Aberystwyth University) as award holder in the ‘Landscape and Environment’ programme. The project will focus on archival collections in the National Library of Wales (NLW), a legal deposit library. The project’s aims are:• To research accounts of extreme weather events, specifically regional and national experiences of harsh winters, as they are recorded in journals, dairies and literary and art works including narratives, poetry, novels, paintings and other visualisations, especially accounts related to extreme events, for example the 1703 “Great Storm”; and as they are described from living memory, via interviews and web input. It focuses upon experiences in relation to particular sets of historical, social, cultural and environmental circumstance and tradition: of rural communities in Wales and their records – from medieval Welsh poetry to contemporary regional broadcast news. • To research, devise and encourage creative approaches to the exposition of such data from a variety of sources to provide an historical context and understanding of ways that communities have experienced, responded to and survived extreme events through resilience and adaptability.Through this it will draw upon and inform perceptions and discourse, and may inform policy decisions with regard to resilience and adaptability in face of extreme weather in rural contexts.The project involves two strands of enquiry:• scholarly research to identify and prepare potential material for exposition: from library and other archival sources, in collaboration with the NLW, climate scientists from the International ACRE (Atmospheric Reconstructions of the Earth) project at the Met Office, and historic weather researchers. Archival reserach will explore the ways in which extreme winters have been represented and depicted in a wide range of cultural texts and media. This will be augmented by web-based community fieldwork including interviews with local people, historians, geographers and meteorologists, to gather experiences, memories and emotions.• practice-led research to devise appropriate modes of public exposition to engage audiences: as live performance and through on-line platforms.We will use digital arts and humanities methods and approaches for selection and digital representation of material collected by the project. The ordering and exposition of material will also follow principles of dramaturgical organization of content, highlighting ‘performative’ aspects of the content. This will also demonstrate the impact of “thinking digitally” on performance development and narrative. It will result in:• the creation of a live performance to be presented locally and nationally, with a premiere in the National Library of Wales in early 2013. This will evoke past events and immediate responses to them: of both trauma and resilience.• the creation of a sustainable website: with a record of research materials; as the further creative exposition of assembled materials; as an interactive facility for the deposit of experiences of extreme weather, encouraging public engagement• a summative workshop and other academic outputs to ensure the dissemination of academic and public benefits

《昨天的雪：讲述极端天气》的主要目的是揭示和联系过去的经历，无论是历史上的还是最近的，作为理解和应对日益被视为气候变化标志的现象的方式。它将探索如何记住和神话这些事件，并将从中最终学到的东西解释为警告和机会。该项目建立在AHRC“历史天气”网络开发的工作基础上，通过继续范围和评估艺术和人文纪录片和叙事原始素材，并展示它们对历史天气和气候研究的价值。它利用网络合作组织Lorna Hughes教授(现为威尔士大学)和Mike Pearson教授(Aberystwyth大学)作为“景观与环境”项目的获奖者。该项目将重点放在威尔士国家图书馆(NLW)的档案收藏上，NLW是一个法定存款图书馆。该项目的目标是：·研究极端天气事件的描述，特别是区域和国家的严冬经历，因为它们被记录在期刊、日记和文学和艺术作品中，包括叙事、诗歌、小说、绘画和其他可视化作品，特别是与极端事件有关的描述，例如1703年的“大风暴”；以及通过采访和网络输入从生活记忆中描述这些事件。它侧重于与特定的历史、社会、文化和环境环境和传统有关的经验：威尔士农村社区及其记录--从中世纪的威尔士诗歌到当代地区广播新闻。·研究、设计和鼓励对各种来源的这种数据进行创造性的阐述，以提供历史背景和了解社区通过复原力和适应能力经历、应对和幸存极端事件的方式。通过这一过程，它将利用和告知人们的看法和话语，并可能为有关农村地区面对极端天气的复原力和适应性的政策决策提供信息。该项目涉及两个方面的调查：·学术研究，以确定和准备可能用于阐述的材料：来自图书馆和其他档案来源，与NLW合作，来自Met Office的国际英亩(地球大气重建)项目的气候科学家，以及历史气象研究人员。档案研究将探索极端冬季如何在广泛的文化文本和媒体中被再现和描绘。将通过基于网络的社区实地考察来加强这一点，包括采访当地人、历史学家、地理学家和气象学家，以收集经验、记忆和情感。·以实践为导向的研究设计适当的公开展示模式，以吸引观众：作为现场表演和通过在线平台。我们将使用数字艺术和人文方法和途径来选择和数字呈现项目收集的材料。材料的排序和展示也将遵循内容的戏剧组织原则，突出内容的“表演性”方面。这也将展示“数字化思维”对表演发展和叙事的影响。这将导致：·创作一场将在当地和全国上演的现场表演，并于2013年初在威尔士国家图书馆首演。这将唤起过去的事件和对这些事件的即时反应：既有创伤，也有韧性。·创建一个可持续的网站：记录研究材料；作为集合材料的进一步创造性展示；作为存储极端天气经验的互动设施，鼓励公众参与·总结性研讨会和其他学术成果，以确保传播学术和公共利益
