项目摘要

The leadership programme proposes a focus on concepts of religion as a pivot for bringing together wider issues in the Ideologies and Beliefs strand of Global Uncertainties itself, and in related AHRC and ESRC programmes. Since 9/11 religious issues have been prominent both in popular and journalistic perceptions of security and in academic enquiry, but informed synthesis regarding the importance of religion relative to other factors remains in short supply. The leadership activities will seek to integrate key insights from relevant projects, exploring both the various understanding of religion and quasi-religion (in relation to ideologies such as nationalism and Islamism), and weighing their importance against other non-religious factors. The programme will achieve an authoritative pooling of substantial and diverse expertise, distilled and presented in an accessible and engaged manner to users in religious leadership, public and NGO policy and practice and the media. Work will proceed in three phases. First, there will be telephone interviews with researchers designed to highlight key insights from their work and to elucidate complementary and contrasting perspectives. The outcomes from these interviews will be summarized in an initial working paper. Second, the working paper will be disseminated; user responses gathered through two seminars and the project website; and selected researchers will attend a symposium intended to distil insights and implications for users and to present them in an accessible form. Third, a widely-circulated hardcopy summary of the outcomes together with online video resources will be made available to users, who will be invited to attend one of a series of seminars to be held at various locations around the UK at which the implications of the work will be further discussed and developed. The research project will examine the development of the concept of martyrdom and sacrificial death in Britain and Ireland since the outbreak of the First World War. Such an enquiry will help to balance the preoccupation of researchers since 9/11 in 2001 with Islamic views of martyrdom/suicide attacks by a focus on the Christian and culturally Christian context, which remains under-researched in this period. There will be two main methods. First, there will be archival, library, and web-based research on historic sources, including books and pamphlets, newspapers and online databases, supplemented as necessary by site visits. Particular focal points will be the First World War, including the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, and the 1920 interment of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey; the Second World War, including Nazi persecution of European Christians, and the early 1980s, including the IRA hunger strikes and the Falklands War. Second, there will be a series of semi-structured interviews with political and religious activists, carried out in partnership with the Institute for Conflict Research in Belfast, in four contrasting locations in Britain and Ireland - Belfast, Bradford, Dublin and London. They will explore contemporary perceptions of historic 'martyrdom' events in the run up to the centenaries of 1914 and 1916; recollections of the early 1980s; and responses to present-day suicide attacks, sectarian murders in Northern Ireland, and casualties in Afghanistan. The outcomes will feed into the programme of leadership activities outlined above, and will be publicised through the website and discussed in the programme seminars. They will also result in journal articles, an academic monograph, and articles contributing to public debate. The centenary of the outbreak of the First World War (4 August 2014) will occur in the final months of the project and offer particular opportunities for dissemination and media interest. The programme will be guided by an advisory group which will offer wide experience of public engagement and strong networks for securing non-academic impact.

领导方案建议以宗教概念为重点，将其作为枢纽，将全球不确定性的意识形态和信仰链本身以及有关的人权与社会研究中心和欧洲经济与社会研究中心方案中更广泛的问题结合起来。自9/11以来，宗教问题在大众和新闻对安全的看法以及学术研究中都很突出，但关于宗教相对于其他因素的重要性的知情综合仍然缺乏。领导活动将寻求整合相关项目的关键见解，探索对宗教和准宗教（与民族主义和伊斯兰主义等意识形态有关）的各种理解，并将其重要性与其他非宗教因素进行权衡。该方案将实现大量和各种专门知识的权威性汇集，这些专门知识经过提炼，并以一种方便和参与的方式呈现给宗教领导、公共和非政府组织的政策和做法以及媒体的用户。工作将分三个阶段进行。首先，将对研究人员进行电话采访，以突出他们工作中的关键见解，并阐明互补和对比的观点。这些访谈的结果将在一份初步工作文件中进行总结。第二，将分发工作文件；通过两次研讨会和项目网站收集的用户反馈；选定的研究人员将参加一个研讨会，旨在为用户提炼见解和影响，并以可访问的形式呈现。第三，将向用户提供广泛分发的成果摘要和在线视频资源，用户将被邀请参加将在英国各地举行的一系列研讨会之一，在研讨会上将进一步讨论和发展这项工作的影响。该研究项目将考察自第一次世界大战爆发以来英国和爱尔兰殉难和牺牲死亡概念的发展。这样的调查将有助于平衡自2001年9/11以来研究人员对伊斯兰教殉难/自杀式袭击的看法，重点关注基督教和基督教文化背景，这在这一时期仍未得到充分研究。主要有两种方法。首先，将对历史资料进行档案、图书馆和基于网络的研究，包括书籍和小册子、报纸和联机数据库，必要时通过实地访问加以补充。特别的焦点将是第一次世界大战，包括1916年在都柏林的复活节起义，以及1920年在威斯敏斯特教堂埋葬无名战士；第二次世界大战，包括纳粹对欧洲基督徒的迫害，以及20世纪80年代初，包括爱尔兰共和军的绝食抗议和马岛战争。其次，将与贝尔法斯特冲突研究所合作，在英国和爱尔兰的四个不同地点——贝尔法斯特、布拉德福德、都柏林和伦敦，对政治和宗教活动人士进行一系列半结构化的采访。他们将探讨在1914年和1916年百年纪念之前，人们对历史上“殉难”事件的看法；八十年代初的回忆；以及应对当今的自杀式袭击、北爱尔兰的宗派谋杀和阿富汗的伤亡。这些成果将纳入上述领导活动方案，并将通过网站公布，并在方案研讨会上进行讨论。他们还会发表期刊文章、学术专著和有助于公众辩论的文章。第一次世界大战爆发一百周年（2014年8月4日）将在项目的最后几个月举行，为传播和媒体的兴趣提供了特别的机会。该计划将由一个咨询小组指导，该小组将提供广泛的公众参与经验和强大的网络，以确保非学术影响。
