Disrupted Histories, Recovered Pasts: A Cross-Disciplinary Analysis and Cross-Case Synthesis of Oral Histories and History in Post-Conflict and Postco

中断的历史，恢复的过去提出了一个跨学科的分析和跨案例的综合后冲突和后殖民背景下的经验和记忆。个案研究将从人类学和历史学的学科基础出发，通过更正式的书面档案和历史编纂，在一系列被破坏的背景下(殖民和种族隔离的西纳米比亚的驱逐；对埃及犹太人散居的记忆和历史解释；法国维希的战时疏散；最近非洲移民的海上外流；以及后殖民时期安哥拉葡萄牙移民的主体性)。这将通过我们的核心研究团队的定期会议、更大的研究研讨会和更广泛的AHRC-LABEX Pasp网络进行系统的跨案例参与、综合、理论化和案例研究交流来补充。在我们的案例中，在冲突后和殖民背景下，“破坏”存在于三种意义上：通过口述历史检索到的多种经验可能会折射和修改历史分析的生产性方式；客观上破坏性事件的发生历史打破了个人和集体经验的流动；作为跨学科研究的一种策略，通过吸引人们对闭塞经验的关注，打破传统理解，使之民主化。“恢复”也是多义的，通过表达可能被压抑的记忆，以及关注关于流离失所群体和个人经历的公共话语之间的不匹配，唤起对过去经历的检索，以及增强幸福感的可能性。我们将把我们的研究成果发表在一个定制的合集（帕尔格雷夫口述历史研究是一个可能的渠道）和同行评议的期刊上，如口述历史，并在http://disruptedhistories.net上以英语和法语向更广泛的公众提供我们的研究成果。

Disrupted Histories, Recovered Pasts proposes a cross-disciplinary analysis and cross-case synthesis of experience and memory in post-conflict and postcolonial contexts. Case-research, conducted from disciplinary bases in anthropology and history, will interrogate relationships between oral histories and amateur histories with more formal written archives and historiography in a series of disrupted settings (evictions in colonial and apartheid west Namibia; memories and historical interpretations of the Egyptian Jewish diaspora; war-time evacuation in Vichy, France; recent maritime exodus of migrants from Africa; and Portuguese migrant subjectivities in post-colonial Angola). This will be complemented by systematic cross-case engagement, synthesis, theorisation and communication of case-study research, conducted through regular meetings of our core research team, a larger research workshop, and presentation to the broader AHRC-LABEX Pasp network.In the postconflict and colonial contexts of our cases, 'disruption' is present in three senses: as the productive ways in which multiple experiences retrieved through oral histories may refract and revise historical analysis; as the happening histories of objectively disruptive events break the flow of individual and collective experience; and as a strategy for cross-disciplinary research to disrupt and democratise conventional understanding by drawing attention to occluded experiences. 'Recovery' is also polysemic, invoking retrieval of past experiences, and the possibility for enhanced well-being, through voicing memories that may have been suppressed and attending to mismatches between public discourse about displaced groups and individual experience.We will publish our findings in a bespoke collection (the Palgrave Studies in Oral History is a possible outlet) and in peer reviewed journals such as Oral History, and make our research available in English and French to wider publics at http://disruptedhistories.net.
