Redress Past Historical Pageants Britain

项目摘要

The proposed programme of follow-on work enhances the impact of the earlier AHRC-funded research project, 'The Redress of the Past: Historical Pageants in Britain 1905-2016' (RoP). This project drew on documentary, visual and oral history sources to provide an authoritative treatment of a subject that had largely escaped academic scrutiny. Historical pageants were one of the most important and ubiquitous channels of popular engagement with the past in twentieth-century Britain: communities of all sizes came together to stage theatrical re-enactments of local and national history, often involving thousands of performers and tens of thousands of spectators. The original RoP project considered the social organisation, dramatic content and wider cultural significance of historical pageants, using locally held sources across the country to examine how communities and institutions told their own histories. The central output was a free-to-use, fully searchable online database that now contains details of more than 650 pageants (www.historicalpageants.ac.uk/pageants/). In collaboration with project partners in Bury St Edmunds, Carlisle, St Albans and Scarborough, the RoP team also produced a series of successful exhibitions, workshops and other events, stimulating public engagement with the research.Involving one existing and four new project partners, as well as other collaborating organisations, the follow-on activity will extend and deepen the non-academic impact of the research. It will do this by deploying techniques of public engagement that were not exploited in the original RoP project, including dramatic and musical re-performance and the use of film. It will also result in the first national-level exhibition on historical pageantry. The key elements of the follow-on project are:1. A 30-minute documentary film, produced in partnership with the Windrose Rural Media Trust, telling the history of pageantry across Britain and including re-performed pageant scenes and music, as well as existing footage;2. A programme of activities at Eversley, Hampshire, and St Albans, Hertfordshire, co-organised with project partners and engaging both adults and children in re-performances and other activities connected with pageantry, alongside new exhibitions focusing on those localities;3. A local history fair at Cecil Sharp House, London, organised in partnership with the English Folk Dance and Song Society. This will bring together local historians and heritage sector organisations, many of whom have an active interest in undertaking research into, and staging exhibitions about, historical pageantry. It will also include an element of re-performance, and will take place alongside an exhibition in the same location, focusing on the links between historical pageantry and the folk arts;4. The production of a 30-page Guide to the study of pageants, aimed at local history and heritage communities and available online and in hard copy;5. A series of activities at Axbridge, Somerset, in partnership with Axbridge Pageant Association, during its preparations for the 2020 Axbridge Pageant;6. A 'roadshow' of events in three locations - Glasgow, York and Dorset - at which members of the project team will share the results of their research, including the film and Guide, with project partners and other collaborators, and help to build further capacity for local history research into the pageant tradition.Through these activities, the follow-on project will extend the reach of the RoP project, while also promoting independent and collaborative research at a local level into an important and stimulating aspect of modern British community history.

拟议的后续工作方案加强了先前由人权委员会资助的研究项目“对过去的补救：1905-2016年英国的历史盛会”的影响。这个项目利用了文献、视觉和口述历史资料，对一个在很大程度上逃避了学术审查的主题进行了权威性的处理。在20世纪的英国，历史盛会是民众与过去接触的最重要、最普遍的渠道之一：各种规模的社区聚集在一起，上演地方和国家历史的戏剧重演，通常有数千名表演者和数万名观众参与。最初的RoP项目考虑了历史盛会的社会组织，戏剧性内容和更广泛的文化意义，利用全国各地的当地资源来研究社区和机构如何讲述自己的历史。其核心成果是一个可免费使用、可完全搜索的在线数据库，其中现在载有650多个选美比赛的详细信息（www.historicalpageants.ac.uk/pageants/）。与伯里圣埃德蒙兹、卡莱尔、圣奥尔本斯和斯卡伯勒的项目伙伴合作，《议事规则》小组还成功举办了一系列展览、工作坊和其他活动，促进公众参与研究。一个现有的项目伙伴和四个新的项目伙伴，以及其他合作机构参与了后续活动，将扩大和深化研究的非学术影响。为达致这目的，当局会采用原《议事规则》计划中没有采用的公众参与技巧，包括重新演出戏剧和音乐，以及使用电影。它还将导致第一个国家级的历史奇观展览。后续项目的关键要素是：1。一部30分钟的纪录片，与Windrose Rural Media Trust合作制作，讲述英国各地的盛会历史，包括重新表演的盛会场景和音乐，以及现有的镜头;2.在汉普郡的埃弗斯利和赫特福德郡的圣奥尔本斯与项目合作伙伴共同组织了一项活动计划，让成人和儿童参加与壮观场面有关的重新表演和其他活动，同时举办以这些地方为重点的新展览;3.当地历史博览会在伦敦的塞西尔夏普大厦举行，与英国民间舞蹈和歌曲协会合作组织。这将汇集当地历史学家和遗产部门组织，其中许多人对进行研究和举办历史壮观的展览非常感兴趣。它还将包括重新表演的元素，并将与同一地点的展览一起举行，重点是历史壮观和民间艺术之间的联系;4.制作一份30页的选美研究指南，以当地历史和遗产社区为对象，可在网上和硬拷贝中查阅;5.在萨默塞特的Axbridge与Axbridge选美协会合作举办一系列活动，筹备2020年Axbridge选美比赛;6.在格拉斯哥、约克和多塞特三个地点举办活动“路演”，项目团队成员将与项目合作伙伴和其他合作者分享他们的研究成果，包括电影和指南，并帮助建立进一步研究选美传统的地方历史的能力。通过这些活动，后续项目将扩大《议事规则》项目的范围，同时也促进在地方一级的独立和合作研究，成为现代英国社区历史的一个重要和刺激的方面。
