项目摘要

This project will preserve endangered immaterial culture of one of the most disadvantaged groups in Iraq. It will provide an oral history archive of the Sinjari Yezidis (aka Yazidis/Ezidis), a minority religious group which does not marry out or accept converts, and which has been persecuted for centuries. In 2014, 300,000 Yezidis were evicted from their home on Mt Sinjar in Northern Iraq by genocidal attacks at the hands of so-called 'Islamic state' (Da'esh). Thousands were massacred or enslaved; some 200,000 remain in IDP camps in the Kurdistan region, unable to return home until Sinjar (which lies on the border with Syria) is securitised. Many are still deeply traumatized and in Kurdistan's current economic situation, work is hard to find. In the difficult living space of the camps, Sinjari Yezidis have felt the disruption and loss of their cultural heritage deeply and, working through Kashkul (see below), have motivated this bid.We will create an egalitarian oral history archive, planned, recorded and archived by Sinjari Yezidis themselves who will become researchers and curators of their own history, working on best practice with Iraqi and international partners - the University of Exeter, UK and the Kashkul arts and research institute of the American University of Iraq at Sulaimani (AUIS). Exeter's Centre for Kurdish Studies has a strong relationship with the Kurdistan Regional Government; the PI has not only worked in the IDP camps but has also coordinated a cultural heritage archive of another Iraqi/Iranian religious minority, the Sabian Mandaeans; Kashkul worked with the President of Iraq's office to spearhead Sulaimani's successful application to be a UNESCO City of Literature and also produced 'Mosul Lives,' the second largest oral history archive in the Middle East.The Sinjari Yezidi oral historians will record using smartphones and small microphones (recent iphones have 4K definition) and will share findings and discussions with their community using the social media camp residents follow - YouTube, Facebook and Instagram - as they collect life histories and folklore, and with other local communities as they celebrate completion of the archive with a folklore festival. To develop this more widely, we will contact our excellent network of academic, government and NGO associates in Duhok and Sulaimani (e.g. The Kurdistan Heritage Centre; The University of Dohuk; the Governorate of Dohuk).The archive will be stored locally, at AUIS and also in a database maintained by the Digital Humanities Lab at Exeter University, through a website available on open access from anywhere on the Internet. It will be a space of reflection for Sinjari Yezidis and a resource for future generations. It will also develop skills in recording, archiving and stewardship of cultural heritage. The training materials generated for the project can be used by other communities or by educational institutions who may be inspired by the Sinjari Yezidis' example and look to them for guidance in undertaking their own projects. For the academic partners this will be a case study in egalitarian archiving, developing methodology and practice in crisis situations. For local people, it will be a unique witness to Iraq's multicultural past, spoken in voices which are rarely heard.

该项目将保护伊拉克最弱势群体之一的濒危非物质文化。它将提供辛贾里·雅兹迪人（又名雅兹迪人/埃兹迪人）的口述历史档案，这是一个少数宗教团体，他们不结婚，也不接受皈依者，几个世纪以来一直受到迫害。2014年，在所谓的“伊斯兰国”（Da’esh）的种族灭绝袭击下，30万雅兹迪人被赶出伊拉克北部辛贾尔山的家园。成千上万的人被屠杀或奴役；大约20万人仍在库尔德斯坦地区的国内流离失所者营地，直到辛贾尔（位于与叙利亚接壤的边境）得到安全保障，他们才能返回家园。许多人仍然深受创伤，在库尔德斯坦目前的经济形势下，很难找到工作。在难民营艰苦的生活环境中，辛贾里·雅兹迪人深深感受到他们的文化遗产的破坏和丧失，并通过喀什库尔（见下文）开展工作，推动了这次竞标。我们将创建一个平等的口述历史档案，由辛贾里·雅兹迪人自己策划、记录和存档，他们将成为自己历史的研究人员和策展人，与伊拉克和国际合作伙伴——英国埃克塞特大学和伊拉克美国大学苏莱马尼分校（AUIS）的喀什库尔艺术和研究所——一起开展最佳实践。埃克塞特的库尔德研究中心与库尔德斯坦地区政府有着密切的关系；PI不仅在国内流离失所者营地工作，而且还协调了另一个伊拉克/伊朗宗教少数群体萨比安·曼达安人的文化遗产档案；卡什库尔与伊拉克总统办公室合作，带领苏莱曼尼成功申请成为联合国教科文组织文学之城，并制作了“摩苏尔生活”，这是中东第二大口述历史档案。辛贾里雅兹迪口述历史学家将使用智能手机和小型麦克风（最近的iphone具有4K清晰度）进行记录，并在收集生活史和民间传说时，通过营地居民关注的社交媒体——YouTube、Facebook和Instagram——与社区分享发现和讨论，并与其他当地社区一起举办民间传说节，庆祝档案的完成。为了更广泛地开展这一活动，我们将联系我们在杜胡克和苏莱曼尼的优秀学术、政府和非政府组织合作伙伴网络（例如库尔德斯坦遗产中心、杜胡克大学、杜胡克省）。这些档案将通过一个网站在互联网上的任何地方都可以开放访问，存储在当地的AUIS和埃克塞特大学数字人文实验室维护的数据库中。它将是辛贾里·雅兹迪人的反思空间，也是子孙后代的资源。它还将培养记录、存档和管理文化遗产的技能。为该项目编写的培训材料可供其他社区或教育机构使用，他们可能会受到辛贾里·雅兹迪人的榜样的启发，并在开展自己的项目时向他们寻求指导。对于学术合作伙伴来说，这将是一个平等主义存档的案例研究，在危机情况下开发方法和实践。对当地人来说，这将是伊拉克多元文化历史的独特见证，用很少听到的声音说话。
