Emily Hobhouse Letters South Africa

项目摘要

Emily Hobhouse (1860-1926) is celebrated in South Africa as a heroine of the South African War (1899-1902), but her wider involvement in South African affairs and international campaigning are largely unknown. Meanwhile in Britain she has been disregarded, her controversial attempts at relief work and international reconciliation during the First World War never properly accounted for. The Emily Hobhouse Letters project is an international research project centrally concerned with recovering Hobhouse's transnational epistolary network of activists, writers, journalists and politicians, in doing so offering a necessary re-internationalisation of early twentieth-century imperial and South African history and correcting her neglect in Britain. It will be led by a UK-based Principal Investigator, who will work alongside Co-Investigators in the UK and South Africa, and in partnership with archivists and museum professionals in the UK and South Africa, to renew scholarly and public engagement with Hobhouse's legacy and to ask why, for Hobhouse and her circle, South Africa became the test-case of early twentieth-century liberal imperialism and liberal internationalism. The project will produce a joint-authored monograph and journal articles, and an international exhibition (touring to the Bodleian, Hull History Centre, the Liskeard Museum, the War Museum, and Smuts House Museum), which will focus on Hobhouse's mobilisation of an influential and interlocking transnational epistolary network of Quakers, international suffrage campaigners, anti-slavery activists, colonial politicians, reformers and writers, members of the Indian and African National Congresses, New Liberals and socialists in Britain. These will highlight the formative experience of Hobhouse and her circle's work for reconciliation in South Africa during an era of war, reconstruction, labour disputes, and arguments over national self-determination and will explore the legacy of this involvement - particularly their attitudes to race - for their approach to the politics of peace, relief and international oversight in Europe and South Africa after the First World War. The exhibition will showcase material from the newly-deposited Emily Hobhouse papers at the Bodleian, which will for the first time be placed alongside her voluminous correspondence in archives in Britain, Geneva and South Africa in order to evaluate her strategic use of letter-writing and the behind-the-scenes influence of women's politicking. The project will employ two Research Assistants: one employed full-time to carry out research in South African archives and libraries; the other, employed on a 0.5 post for 18 months, to carry out research in the archives of international organisations such as Save the Children in Geneva. Both will be fully engaged in the project's outputs and its wider dissemination. The research team will also guide the cataloguing and selective digitisation of the Hobhouse Papers by trainee archivists and report on this to the SCOLMA conference for researchers and archivists of African history, and in its bulletin.A workshop in South Africa with the Bodleian archivist, school teachers and heritage professionals will explore the optimum ways to present this new research to multiple audiences, including secondary-school pupils, in preparation for the exhibition, associated public lectures and website launch. The project website will include dedicated 'Gateways to Learning' which will use digitised Hobhouse material as gateways to structured teaching and learning material and include downloadable museum audio-guides to items in the collections of the War Museum and Smuts House (to accompany the exhibition or for use remotely). A conference at the University of the Free State on the re-internationalisation of South Africa's imperial history will extend this commitment to engaging with the ongoing post-apartheid revisioning and rethinking of the South African past.

艾米丽·霍布豪斯（1860-1926）在南非被誉为南非战争（1899-1902）的女英雄，但她更广泛地参与南非事务和国际运动在很大程度上是未知的。与此同时，在英国，她一直被忽视，她在第一次世界大战期间的救济工作和国际和解的有争议的尝试从来没有得到适当的解释。艾米丽霍布豪斯书信项目是一个国际研究项目，主要关注恢复霍布豪斯的跨国书信网络的活动家，作家，记者和政治家，这样做提供了一个必要的重新国际化的二十世纪初的帝国和南非的历史，并纠正她在英国的忽视。它将由一位英国的首席研究员领导，他将与英国和南非的合作研究员一起工作，并与英国和南非的档案管理员和博物馆专业人员合作，以更新学术和公众对霍布豪斯遗产的参与，并询问为什么霍布豪斯和她的圈子，南非成为二十世纪初自由帝国主义和自由国际主义的测试案例。该项目将产生一个共同撰写的专著和期刊文章，并举办国际展览（参观博德利安，船体历史中心，利斯卡德博物馆，战争博物馆和史末资博物馆），这将集中在霍布豪斯的动员一个有影响力的和连锁的跨国书信网络的贵格会，国际选举权运动，反奴隶制活动家，殖民地政治家，改革者和作家，印度和非洲国民大会的成员，英国的新自由党人和社会主义者。这些将强调霍布豪斯和她的圈子在战争、重建、劳资纠纷和民族自决争论时代为南非和解所做的工作的形成经历，并将探索这种参与的遗产--特别是他们对种族的态度--他们对第一次世界大战后欧洲和南非的和平、救济和国际监督政治的态度。该展览将展示新存放的艾米丽霍布豪斯文件在博德利的材料，这将是第一次与她在英国，日内瓦和南非档案馆的大量信件一起放置，以评估她对书信写作的战略使用和女性政治活动的幕后影响。该项目将雇用两名研究助理：一名全职从事南非档案馆和图书馆的研究工作;另一名为期18个月，以0.5%的员额从事日内瓦的拯救儿童等国际组织的档案研究工作。两者都将充分参与项目的产出及其更广泛的传播。研究团队还将指导实习档案管理员对霍布豪斯文件进行编目和选择性数字化，并就此向非洲历史研究人员和档案管理员的SCOLMA会议及其公告报告。在南非举行的一个由博德利档案管理员、学校教师和遗产专业人员参加的研讨会将探索向包括中学生在内的多种受众展示这一新研究的最佳方式，筹备展览、相关的公开讲座和网站启动。该项目网站将包括专门的“学习门户”，将使用数字化的霍布豪斯材料作为结构化教学和学习材料的门户，并包括可下载的博物馆音频指南，以了解战争博物馆和史末资之家的藏品（以配合展览或远程使用）。在自由州大学举行的一次关于南非帝国历史重新国际化的会议将把这一承诺扩大到参与正在进行的后种族隔离时代的修正和对南非过去的反思。
