项目摘要

We do not speak of the dead often enough: we lack the language, the opportunity, the encouragement, and someone to listen. Even amongst professional end-of-life care givers, this can create problems and frustrations. Yet the past provides us with rich stories of how people throughout time have mourned, remembered and grieved; exposure to these examples encourages conversations around these topics, enabling a 'safe' way in to discuss difficult topics of mortality and loss. These were some of the key findings from the AHRC-funded 'Continuing Bonds: Exploring the meaning and legacy of death through past and contemporary practice' (CB) project, which has investigated the value and contribution of archaeology to end-of-life care. This follow-on project brings the stories, narratives, themes and experiences espoused in the CB findings, as well as inspiring archaeological/ethnographic materials, to wider audiences. Involving creative writers and the general public, four activities are proposed: 1. A series of creative writing workshops 2. Collation and dissemination of an anthology 3. Celebration reading events 4. Development of a free resource pack Stories told in the original Continuing Bonds study, as well as archaeological/ethnographic materials, will be used to inspire participants' creative writing, as well as normalise facets of death, dying and bereavement (DDB). These materials will focus on a range of stories, narratives, themes (such as memorialisation and legacy, ethics, and treatment of the dead), experiences and objects. The workshops will provide a safe space for individuals to talk about DDB, to engage with others' stories and experiences about these and to engage with case studies about DDB from the past. Participants will be asked to produce pieces of creative writing, such as short stories, flash fiction (short fictional work which still offers character and plot development) and poetry. By engaging individuals in these topics through the medium of writing, it is likely that a wider understanding of DDB will emerge, with DDB thoughts, behaviours and practices being validated and normalised. These impacts will continue through the anthology and the celebration reading events. The anthology will include approximately 45 pieces. These will have been developed through the creative writing workshops. This will be free to access and hosted online. Free print copies will also be made available for contributors, their friends/family and other interested parties. The celebration events will welcome all who have attended the workshops, submitted to the anthology, and the general public. The aim is for participants to showcase their pieces. This will provide a valuable reflective opportunity for those involved and enables members of different writing communities to join together. It is hoped that this will form the basis of ongoing informal networks among participants. The resource pack will enable workshop materials to be used by others, free of charge, enabling further impact beyond the life of the project. The project will run for 9 months, which allows for the adequate preparation of materials, recruitment, facilitation of workshops, feedback to contributors, advertising for and holding the celebration events, correlation of resource pack and evaluation. We anticipate that participants will be attracted by the unique inspiration provided by the archaeological materials and related participant accounts, as well as the opportunity to network with other writers and to showcase and receive feedback on their work. Overall, the Creative Dissemination proposal takes the success of the original CBs project and extends this to new audiences, using the medium of creative writing.

我们不经常谈论死者：我们缺乏语言、机会、鼓励和倾听的人。即使是在专业的临终关怀人员中，这也会带来问题和挫折。然而，过去为我们提供了丰富的故事，让我们了解人们是如何随着时间的推移而哀悼、缅怀和悲伤的；接触这些例子会鼓励人们围绕这些话题展开对话，使我们能够以一种安全的方式讨论死亡和损失等棘手话题。这些是AHRC资助的“继续债券：通过过去和当代的实践探索死亡的意义和遗产”(CB)项目的一些关键发现，该项目调查了考古学对临终关怀的价值和贡献。这一后续项目将CB调查结果中的故事、叙述、主题和经验以及鼓舞人心的考古/人种学材料带给更广泛的受众。建议开展四项活动：1.一系列创造性写作讲习班2.校对和传播一本文集3.庆祝阅读活动4.开发一套免费资源包，包括在最初的持续邦兹研究中讲述的故事，以及考古/人种学材料，将用于启发参与者的创造性写作，以及使死亡、垂死和丧亲的各方面正常化(DDB)。这些材料将集中于一系列故事、叙事、主题(如纪念和遗产、伦理和对死者的处理)、经历和对象。讲习班将为个人提供一个安全的空间，让他们谈论DDB，接触其他人关于这些的故事和经验，并参与过去关于DDB的案例研究。参与者将被要求创作一些创造性的作品，如短篇小说、闪电小说(仍然提供人物和情节发展的短篇小说)和诗歌。通过写作媒介让个人参与到这些主题中来，很可能会对DDB有更广泛的理解，DDB的思想、行为和实践得到验证和正常化。这些影响将通过选集和庆祝阅读活动继续下去。这本选集将包括大约45首作品。这些将通过创造性写作讲习班加以发展。这将是免费访问和在线托管。投稿人、他们的朋友/家人和其他感兴趣的人也可以免费打印。庆祝活动将欢迎所有参加过工作坊并提交给选集的人和公众。目的是让参与者展示他们的作品。这将为参与者提供一个宝贵的反思机会，并使不同写作社区的成员能够加入到一起。希望这将成为与会者之间正在进行的非正式网络的基础。资源包将使研讨会材料能够免费供其他人使用，从而在项目生命周期之外产生进一步的影响。该项目将持续9个月，以便充分准备材料、招聘、为讲习班提供便利、向投稿人提供反馈、为庆祝活动做广告和举行庆祝活动、资源组合和评估的相互关系。我们预计，参与者将被考古材料和相关参与者账户提供的独特灵感所吸引，并有机会与其他作家建立联系，展示和接受对他们作品的反馈。总体而言，创意传播方案借鉴了CBS最初项目的成功，并利用创意写作的媒介将其扩展到新的受众。
