All families are mnemonic communities that make use of self-referential narratives - family stories - to construct a collective identity. As well as forging cohesion and identification between family members, such stories 'give messages and instructions; they offer blueprints and ideals; they issue warnings and prohibitions' (Stone, 2017). When such stories no longer suit a family's purpose, they are forgotten. In the wake of a sectarian conflict, especially one which has spanned multiple generations, this process is both more complicated and more vital; questions of identity, especially along religious, political, or cultural lines, take on a more urgent significance. This project will compare the themes contained in the conflict-related stories that are told within families in Northern Ireland. I will conduct interviews with individuals from across religious, political, and socioeconomic boundaries, all of whom were born in the years following the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. I will ask participants to reproduce the conflict-related stories they have been told within their own families and will examine whether the stories they have been told contain common themes, both within and across cultural and class boundaries. Research into intrafamilial storytelling in Northern Ireland is limited and has exclusively focussed on stories relating to significant traumatic events. This project adopts a more holistic approach, drawing on a wider pool of narratives, to explore whether the stories told are predominantly those related to traumatic events. This interdisciplinary oral history project seeks to build on existing work relating to family stories and understand how a long-running conflict situation impacts on the stories that a family holds and their temporal scope, and how the reproduction of such narratives is used by families across cultural and class divides in similar or dissimilar ways.

所有家庭都是疯子社区，利用自指的叙事（家庭故事）来构建集体身份。除了家庭成员之间的凝聚力和识别外，这些故事的信息和指示；他们提供蓝图和理想；他们发出警告和禁令'（Stone，2017年）。当这些故事不再适合家庭的目的时，它们就会被遗忘。在发生宗派冲突之后，尤其是跨越了几代人的冲突，此过程既复杂又至关重要。身份问题，尤其是在宗教，政治或文化方面的问题，具有更紧急的意义。该项目将比较北爱尔兰家庭中与冲突有关的故事中包含的主题。我将对来自宗教，政治和社会经济界的个人进行访谈，所有这些人都出生于1998年耶稣受难日协议签署后的几年中出生的几年。我将要求参与者重现他们在自己的家庭中被告知的与冲突相关的故事，并将研究他们在文化和阶级范围内和范围内都包含他们的故事，并在文化和阶级范围内被告知。在北爱尔兰，对北爱尔兰的富裕叙事研究的研究是有限的，并且仅专注于与重大创伤事件有关的故事。该项目采用更全面的方法，利用更广泛的叙述，以探讨这些故事是否主要是与创伤事件有关的故事。这个跨学科的口述历史项目旨在基于与家庭故事有关的现有工作，并了解长期发生的冲突情况如何影响家庭所拥有的故事及其时间范围，以及如何以类似或相似的方式使用跨文化和阶级鸿沟的家庭的复制。
