项目摘要

In light of increasing ethnic and religious diversity in the UK (ONS 2012), many challenges have been raised practically and politically about living together in difference within in Britain (Keith, 2005). Much attention has focused upon Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) patterns of housing, education, employment and leisure, but migrant and established minority needs relating to cemetery, crematoria and sites of ritual and remembrance ('deathscapes') are less well understood or provided for. While death, sites of bodily disposal and practices of mourning and remembrance are universal phenomena, they are negotiated, practiced and ritualised in diverse ways within a multicultural society. Given the lack of systematic planning policy for this at national or local levels, we argue that diversity-ready deathscapes are a necessary but currently neglected aspect of an integrated multicultural society. Creating the conditions for integration is a government priority in multicultural Britain (UK Gov 2012). Government policy recognises that challenges are multifaceted and that integration comes from finding common ground in everyday life; it seeks to 'inspire and enable civil society and local areas to take action on integration issues that are important to them' (ibid., p19). Here, we propose using four case study towns in England and Wales (Huddersfield, Northampton, Swindon and Newport) in order to explore everyday deathscapes and diversity issues across a range of geographical regions and varied dynamic multicultural settings. This project will work with members of a range of minority and migrant communities to bring new insight to understanding diversity, death and remembrance in England and Wales, investigating: a) demand for culturally-specific spaces of bodily disposal and remembrance, both physical and virtual b) evidence of shared socio-cultural practice and diversity within communities of place, practice and/or beliefc) the role of lifecycle rites such as funerals and memorialisation in identity formation and sense of belonging within a multicultural society d) how local authority planners and Bereavement Service providers can respond to better meet these needs. The project will be innovative in its use of Death Cafés to meet local people and learn about death-related issues and concerns in each area before collecting data through focus groups and biographical interviews, as well as using creative practices of drawing, model-making and photo-logs to understand current provision and ideal cemetery/crematoria/memorial site design. This visual material will feature in the end of project feedback touring exhibition which will be shown in each case study town, alongside a final Death in each exhibition venue. The project will prompt public debate around the subject of minority deathscape provision in England and Wales, especially in the case study towns, as well as providing policy recommendations to local authority Planners and public and private Bereavement Service providers, which will feature in a report launched at a public workshop with participants, providers and policy-makers, including the Royal Town Planning Institute and Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management. We anticipate local and national media interest in the project findings, recommendations and its end of project touring exhibition.

鉴于联合王国的种族和宗教多样性日益增加（国家统计局，2012年），在英国，人们在实践中和政治上都提出了许多关于在差异中共同生活的挑战（基思，2005年）。黑人和少数民族的住房、教育、就业和休闲模式受到了很大关注，但移民和已建立的少数民族对墓地、火葬场以及仪式和纪念场所（“死亡场所”）的需求却没有得到很好的理解或满足。虽然死亡、弃尸地点以及哀悼和纪念的做法是普遍现象，但在一个多元文化的社会中，它们是以各种方式谈判、实践和仪式化的。鉴于缺乏系统的规划政策，在国家或地方层面，我们认为，多样性准备死亡景观是一个必要的，但目前被忽视的方面，一个综合的多元文化社会。在多元文化的英国，为融合创造条件是政府的优先事项（UK Gov 2012）。政府的政策认识到，挑战是多方面的，融合来自于在日常生活中找到共同点;它力求“激励和使民间社会和地方能够就对它们很重要的融合问题采取行动”（同上，第19页）。在这里，我们建议使用四个案例研究城镇在英格兰和威尔士（哈德斯菲尔德，北安普顿，斯温登和纽波特），以探讨日常死亡景观和多样性问题在一系列的地理区域和各种动态的多元文化设置。该项目将与一系列少数民族和移民社区的成员合作，为理解英格兰和威尔士的多样性，死亡和纪念带来新的见解，调查：（a）需要有文化上特定的身体处置和纪念空间，包括有形的和虚拟的空间;（B）社区内共有的社会文化习俗和多样性的证据;实践和/或信仰c）生命周期仪式的作用，如葬礼和纪念在多元文化社会中形成身份和归属感d）地方当局规划者和丧亲服务提供者如何应对，以更好地满足这些需求。该项目将创新地利用死亡咖啡馆与当地人见面，了解每个地区与死亡有关的问题和关切，然后通过焦点小组和传记访谈收集数据，并利用绘画、模型制作和照片日志等创造性做法，了解目前的供应情况和理想的墓地/火葬场/纪念场所设计。这些视觉材料将在项目反馈巡回展览结束时展出，该展览将在每个案例研究城镇展出，并在每个展览场地展出最后的死亡。该项目将在英格兰和威尔士，特别是在案例研究城镇，引发围绕少数群体临终关怀问题的公开辩论，并向地方当局、公共和私营丧亲服务提供者提供政策建议，这些建议将在与参与者、提供者和决策者举行的公共讲习班上发布的报告中予以介绍，包括皇家城市规划研究所和公墓及火葬场管理研究所。我们预计当地和国家媒体对项目调查结果，建议及其项目巡回展览的结束感兴趣。
