The history and heritage of industrialization can evoke conflicting emotions for local communities. While past industrial achievements can be a source of community identity and pride, the environmental impact of industrialization and the socio-economic challenges of de-industrialization can also affect negatively the lives of local residents. Regeneration projects have tended to focus on adaptive re-use of industrial heritage objects, as museums, tourist attractions, galleries, and community spaces, in an effort to revitalize economically depressed areas and strengthen local communities. Less attention, however, has been paid to the intangible heritage of industrialization: the culture, values and relationships that exist in communities that were invested materially and symbolically in industrial production. Donbas in Focus: Visions of Industry in the Ukrainian East explores the ways that Donbas, a heavily industrialized region in Eastern Ukraine, was depicted in photography and film across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and asks how these processes continue to resonate in the region's political and cultural landscapes today. Situating the Donbas case in a comparative research frame, it questions established notions of the region's post-Soviet specificity, highlighting common challenges and experiences in post-industrial regions and communities across the UK. While a number of recent studies have begun to address the question of Donbas's cultural construction through word, image and social practice, there is no one single-authored volume in Ukrainian, Russian, or English that engages with the politics of visualizing industry in the Ukrainian East and the ways these politics have informed the cultural myth of Donbas across the Soviet and post-independence eras. A study of this kind is now more urgent than ever given the ongoing conflict in Donbas, in the context of which marked tendencies to "Otherize" the heavily industrialized region have emerged. By drawing parallels with the cultural construction of (post-)industrial regions across the UK, the project will contribute valuable new perspectives to the debate about Donbas identity politics, shifting the focus away from questions of ethnolinguistic identities, which have dominated Ukrainian public discourse and international media coverage of the conflict, to discuss the dynamics of power that shape and inform (post-)industrial regional subjectivities and experiences.Donbas in Focus has the following component parts: 1) a monograph, the first sustained study of the practices and traditions of visualizing industry in Donbas, from the late-Imperial period to the present day; 2) a co-edited volume of artwork, photography, and critical essays reflecting on the critical-creative potential of industrial history and heritage; 3) a series of three industrial archive workshops, stimulating new forms of creativity around established industrial heritage collections and building the knowledge, capacities, and networks of professionals working with these resources; 4) a schools photography project, working with young people in the West Lothian area to develop a new body of photographic work that engages with the (post-)industrial landscape; 5) an exhibition of project photography and creative work that will tour the UK and Ukraine; 6) a radio broadcast for BBC Radio 3; 7) a project website.

工业化的历史和遗产可能引起当地社区的矛盾情绪。虽然过去的工业成就可以成为社区认同和自豪感的来源，但工业化对环境的影响和去工业化的社会经济挑战也可能对当地居民的生活产生负面影响。再生项目往往侧重于工业遗产对象的适应性再利用，如博物馆，旅游景点，画廊和社区空间，以振兴经济落后地区和加强当地社区。然而，对工业化的非物质遗产-在工业生产中进行了物质和象征性投资的社区中存在的文化、价值观和关系-的关注较少。顿巴斯聚焦：乌克兰东部工业的愿景探讨了乌克兰东部重工业化地区顿巴斯在二十世纪和二十一世纪的摄影和电影中的描绘方式，并询问这些过程如何继续在该地区的政治和文化景观中产生共鸣。将顿巴斯案例置于比较研究框架中，它质疑该地区后苏联特殊性的既定概念，突出了英国后工业化地区和社区的共同挑战和经验。虽然最近的一些研究已经开始通过文字，图像和社会实践来解决顿巴斯的文化建设问题，但没有一本乌克兰语，俄语或英语的单一作者的书籍涉及乌克兰东部可视化工业的政治以及这些政治的方式在苏联和独立后时代告知顿巴斯的文化神话。鉴于顿巴斯持续不断的冲突，这类研究现在比以往任何时候都更加紧迫，在这一冲突的背景下，出现了使这个重工业化地区“非军事化”的明显趋势。通过与英国各地（后）工业地区的文化建设进行比较，该项目将为关于顿巴斯身份政治的辩论提供有价值的新视角，将焦点从民族语言身份问题上转移开来，这些问题主导了乌克兰公共话语和国际媒体对冲突的报道，讨论塑造和告知（后）工业区域主体和经验的权力动态。《聚焦顿巴斯》有以下组成部分：1）一本专著，第一次持续研究从帝国晚期到现在的顿巴斯可视化工业的实践和传统; 2）共同编辑的艺术品，摄影和评论文章，反映了工业历史和遗产的批判性创造潜力; 3）三个工业档案系列研讨会，围绕已建立的工业遗产收藏激发新形式的创造力，并建立与这些资源相关的专业人员的知识、能力和网络; 4）学校摄影项目，与西洛锡安地区的年轻人合作，开发一种新的摄影作品，与（后）工业景观相结合; 5）将在英国和乌克兰巡回展出的项目摄影和创意作品展览; 6）BBC广播3台的广播; 7）项目网站。
