项目摘要

The failure of recent attempts to resolve issues surrounding flags, parades and dealing with the past has demonstrated the potential of issues of collective memory and commemoration to undermine the prospects for reconciliation in a still divided Northern Ireland. The continued failure to reach agreement concerning how to deal with the past has created destabilising social and political tensions in Northern Irish society. Both the collective memory and forgetting of traumatic events of the past has political implications, affecting prospects for peace and reconciliation. Commemoration in Northern Ireland is thus fraught and contested. The societal role of commemoration in all its forms is of critical importance for policy makers and those seeking to understand both the perpetuation and successful regulation of conflict. The notions of memory, commemoration, contested space and territory will be central to the seminar, a key site of conflict in the culture wars in Northern Ireland. These debates are not only academic: the effects of territorial struggle and claims on contested space continue today, with effects ranging from the recent social unrest surrounding parades, to dissident paramilitary violence and the future political development of Northern Ireland.We recognise that it is essential that policy makers have an improved understanding of the role of social memory and commemoration within communities. The seminar will help to facilitate such an understanding through a dialogue between academics, practitioners, politicians and policy makers. Broadly, this will include examining the political and social policy implications emerging from a detailed scrutiny of the roles of memory, commemoration and forgetting in Northern Ireland. This will include the role of history and heritage education and its effects on young people, identity formation and citizenship issues. It will also include a comparative dimension, reflecting on the role of truth recovery and dealing with the past in other divided societies, the heritage industry and the official (and unofficial) role of commemoration both in societies divided by violent conflict and those whose divisions are predominantly cultural and ideological. Meetings 2, 4 and 6 will include international keynote speakers.The series will draw on the organisers' expertise in conflict analysis and bring together participants from severaldisciplinary backgrounds, including political scientists, psychologists, sociologists, historians, policy analysts, alongside those working in the heritage sector, education, government and NGOs, and other civil society organisations. It will reflect on both past and recent issues concerning the role of memory and forgetting in Northern Ireland in comparative perspective.The proposed seminar series will consist of six open one-day events, each engaging with specific issues relevant to the seminar theme,broadly defined as: the analysis of current research trends and methodologies of memory; symbols of commemoration andsites of memory (both physical and intellectual); collective memory and forgetting (including the re-memorising of 'greatevents'); the culture wars - the politics of commemoration and socialisation; the role of memory and reconciliation(comparative approaches) and a final seminar discussing the policy implications of the research, with input from NorthernIreland politicians, NGOs, media and members of the policy community.The organisers have well established academic, practitioner and community links across Northern Ireland which will ensure the successful composition, engagement and delivery of the seminar seriesProposed outcomes from the seminar will include academic publications, downloadable policy resources, and an open access report of discussions and recommendations, ensuring broad public engagement and wide dissemination of the seminar findings.

最近试图解决有关国旗、游行和处理过去的问题的努力都以失败告终，这表明集体记忆和纪念问题有可能破坏仍然分裂的北爱尔兰的和解前景。继续未能就如何处理过去达成协议，在北爱尔兰社会造成了不稳定的社会和政治紧张局势。集体记忆和忘记过去的创伤事件都具有政治影响，影响到和平与和解的前景。因此，北爱尔兰的纪念活动充满了担忧和争议。所有形式的纪念活动的社会作用对于政策制定者和那些试图了解冲突的长期存在和成功管制的人来说至关重要。记忆、纪念、有争议的空间和领土的概念将是研讨会的核心，这是北爱尔兰文化战争中冲突的关键地点。这些辩论不仅是学术上的：领土斗争和对有争议空间的主张的影响至今仍在继续，影响范围从最近围绕游行的社会动荡，到持不同政见者的准军事暴力和北爱尔兰未来的政治发展。我们认识到，政策制定者必须更好地理解社会记忆和纪念活动在社区中的作用。研讨会将通过学者、从业者、政界人士和政策制定者之间的对话，帮助促进这种理解。概括地讲，这将包括详细审查记忆、纪念和遗忘在北爱尔兰的作用所产生的政治和社会政策影响。这将包括历史和遗产教育的作用及其对年轻人、身份形成和公民身份问题的影响。它还将包括比较层面，反思真相恢复和处理过去在其他分裂的社会中的作用、遗产产业以及纪念活动在因暴力冲突而分裂的社会和那些主要是文化和意识形态分歧的社会中的官方(和非官方)作用。会议2、4和6将包括国际主旨演讲者。该系列会议将利用组织者在冲突分析方面的专业知识，并将来自不同学科背景的与会者聚集在一起，包括政治学家、心理学家、社会学家、历史学家、政策分析员，以及文化遗产部门、教育、政府和非政府组织以及其他民间社会组织的工作人员。拟举办的系列研讨会将包括六个公开的为期一天的活动，每个活动都涉及与研讨会主题有关的具体问题，大致定义为：对记忆的当前研究趋势和方法的分析；纪念的象征和记忆的场所(包括身体和智力)；集体记忆和遗忘(包括对“重大事件”的重新记忆)；文化战争--纪念和社会化的政治；记忆与和解的作用(比较方法)和最后一次研讨会，讨论这项研究的政策影响，来自北爱尔兰政客、非政府组织、媒体和政策界成员的意见。组织者在北爱尔兰各地建立了良好的学术、实践者和社区联系，这将确保研讨会系列的成功撰写、参与和交付。研讨会的拟议成果将包括学术出版物、可下载的政策资源以及讨论和建议的开放获取报告，确保广泛的公众参与和研讨会结果的广泛传播。
