项目摘要

Disasters, such as the Asian tsunami (Sri Lanka & Indonesia), the Indus Floods (Pakistan) and on-going droughts in the Horn of Africa, have increasingly taken place in parts of LMICs affected by violence and conflict. Yet, surprisingly, very little is known about the way in which people living amidst conflict interact with the state, with insurgent groups or the military in the aftermath of the disaster and how this is experienced in their 'everyday' lives. The question this research seeks to address is how are climatic disasters locally constructed in communities living with conflict in LMICs? In so doing, this project will help understand the complex political space where development interventions in disaster recovery and rehabilitation take place. Fitting perfectly within the framework of the PaCCS and the GCRF this project project will address a tangible gap in conflict and disaster research. It's findings will have a significant impact in the design of development policy aimed at improving welfare of communities living in LMICs.This research project is unique and innovative in the political space that it is interested in studying - the intersection of disasters with conflict. The approach it follows is innovative and risky, drawing together social science scholarship and methods with arts and humanities methods. Additionally in working with non-academic partners proficient in visual methods, this research allows me to build capacity as an early career scholar, interested in developing an interdisciplinary approach to studying the disaster and conflict space in LMICs.Based on physical and digital ethnographic research in two barangays (villages), in Surigao del Sur and in Manguindanao provinces, in Mindanao this project will politically construct Typhoon Pablo that devastated the southern Philippines in 2012. This region has been facing a protracted armed insurgency between the communist New People's Army (NPA) and the Islamist, Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), and the state. Though political geography often discusses disasters as a manifestation of state "weakness" that fracture the social contracts between the states and their citizens, allowing insurgent groups to capture this space, my previous research shows such a narrative as being too simplistic. It fails to take into account the complex, haphazard and informal ways in which state-citizen relationships have been forged, invented and reinvented in the postcolonial world.To explore this complexity, my ethnographic fieldwork will also include twenty digital stories from community members who were affected by Typhoon Pablo and have been living amidst an active insurgency. I will be working with local partners Swito Corp based in Davao City Mindanao, who run an exciting start-up using digital storytelling as a medium of engaging local communities, particularly in areas of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Additionally a community NGO in Mindanao, PeaceBuilders Community Incorporated (PBCI), with grassroots networks will be collaborators on this project. This will be one of the first research project exploring local construction of a disaster in a conflict-affected region in an LMIC, such as the Philippines. It is therefore not only an innovative piece of work but in providing a contextual and socially relevant framework through which to understand the disaster and conflict intersection, but can be used to design policy interventions in Mindanao and beyond. Additionally, this project will also be one of the first to use digital storytelling as a method of ethnographic data collection. Thereby, enabling participation of respondents in developing their own digital storyboards and driving their own narrative. A guiding framework in this regard will be provided by the specialist company Limetools Ltd in the UK, experienced in using media and digital storytelling for policy work thereby improving capability of Filipino partners as well.

诸如亚洲海啸（斯里兰卡和印度尼西亚）、印度河洪水（巴基斯坦）和非洲之角持续干旱等灾害，越来越多地发生在受暴力和冲突影响的中低收入国家。然而，令人惊讶的是，对于生活在冲突中的人们在灾难发生后与国家、叛乱组织或军队的互动方式，以及他们在“日常”生活中是如何经历的，我们知之甚少。本研究试图解决的问题是，在中低收入国家生活在冲突中的社区，气候灾害是如何在当地形成的？这样，这个项目将有助于了解在灾害恢复和重建方面进行发展干预的复杂政治空间。该项目完全符合PaCCS和GCRF的框架，将解决冲突和灾害研究方面的切实差距。它的研究结果将对旨在改善中低收入国家社区福利的发展政策的设计产生重大影响。这个研究项目在它感兴趣的政治空间中是独特的和创新的-灾难与冲突的交集。它所遵循的方法既创新又冒险，将社会科学的学术和方法与艺术和人文学科的方法结合在一起。此外，通过与精通视觉方法的非学术合作伙伴合作，这项研究使我能够建立作为一名早期职业学者的能力，并对开发跨学科方法来研究中低收入国家的灾难和冲突空间感兴趣。该项目基于对棉兰老岛苏里高省和曼桂达瑙省两个村庄的实物和数字人种学研究，将从政治上构建2012年摧毁菲律宾南部的台风巴勃罗。该地区一直面临着共产主义新人民军（NPA）、伊斯兰主义摩洛伊斯兰解放阵线（MILF）和政府之间长期的武装叛乱。虽然政治地理学经常将灾难视为国家“软弱”的表现，破坏了国家与公民之间的社会契约，使叛乱组织得以占领这一空间，但我之前的研究表明，这种叙述过于简单化。它没有考虑到在后殖民世界中，国家与公民之间的关系是以复杂、随意和非正式的方式形成、创造和重新创造的。为了探索这种复杂性，我的民族志田野调查还将包括20个数字故事，这些故事来自受台风巴勃罗影响的社区成员，他们一直生活在活跃的叛乱中。我将与棉兰老岛达沃市的当地合作伙伴Swito Corp合作，该公司经营着一家令人兴奋的初创企业，利用数字叙事作为吸引当地社区参与的媒介，特别是在解决冲突和建设和平领域。此外，棉兰老岛的一个社区非政府组织和平建设者社区公司（PBCI）将成为这个项目的合作者，该组织拥有基层网络。这将是探索在菲律宾等中低收入国家受冲突影响地区就地建造灾害的首批研究项目之一。因此，它不仅是一项创新工作，而且提供了一个背景和社会相关的框架，通过该框架可以理解灾难和冲突的交叉点，而且可以用于设计棉兰老岛及其他地区的政策干预措施。此外，这个项目也将是第一个使用数字叙事作为民族志数据收集方法的项目之一。因此，使受访者能够参与开发他们自己的数字故事板并推动他们自己的叙述。这方面的指导框架将由英国专业公司Limetools Ltd提供，该公司在利用媒体和数字叙事进行政策工作方面经验丰富，从而提高菲律宾合作伙伴的能力。
