项目摘要

This project will undertake a comprehensive reappraisal of the place and function of narratives of Occupation and WW2 in French cultural history. It will systematically record details of the fictional production of the period and produce wide-ranging data on the chronological development of themes and representations In the period. Through the production of new data and focused thematic studies, It will expose the limitations of current historiographical assumptions about French writing on the war and the occupation. Research context Very large numbers of narratives of all kinds have been written about the experiences of the French during defeat and occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, which is not surprising given their extreme and complex nature. Critical attention to the history and memory of these years has been particularly strong since the 1970s, when a new wave of films and novels brought the period back to the front of public consciousness. New research perspectives were opened up by key historical and critical studies of the 1970s and 1980s which analysed French understanding of the period in terms of a 'Gaullist myth', that Is: of a nation united behind the Resistance, being dismantled by a new generation keen to reveal the hidden, and much more unsettling, reality of the period. As films, novels, autobiographies, testimonies, historical studies and critical analyses continue to pour out, covering ail aspects of the period, including more recently the traumatic realities of deportation to the death camps and the Issues of French complicity in the Holocaust, the key tenets of the dominant critical understanding have remained remarkably steady: that for over two decades the French repressed knowledge of a painful, at times shameful, and divisive period. The continual repetition of these painful revelations through the 1990s to the present reinforces the impression of a nation Incapable of coming to terms with its past. Aims and objectives The aim of this project is to test the validity of this model, and to analyse its theoretical and historiographical assumptions. To this end, we will: Carry out a systematic study of all the fictional narratives of war and occupation produced since 1939 Produce a bibliographical and thematic database which wilt allow us to identify, on sound empirical bases, the development and evolution of themes and issues at each stage of the period Establish a website for the project to report on its progress Publish our Initial conclusions in refereed journals and on the website as appropriate Produce sustained thematic studies in doctoral theses of two of the questions central to conventional critical Perspectives and methodologies: collaboration and discourses of gulit Organise an International conference to bring together leading scholars in the field for the dissemination of our findings and wide-ranging discussion of the Issues, and publish Its proceedings Produce a book to which all the research team will contribute in-depth critical studies Potential applications and benefits The project will be of value to scholars working In French studies, particularly postwar cultural and social history, literary history, and memory and holocaust studies. The systematic nature of the study will contribute new knowledge by including neglected and minor texts; it will revise existing knowledge and set new agendas for research by remapping the history of representations of war and occupation In postwar France, and offer new Insights into French national identity by understanding of the existing paradigm of a past repressed and then rediscovered. The database will be of lasting value for future studies. It will be available for scholars to use for a variety of future projects, and will be able to grow to respond to the demands of these future research agendas.

该项目将全面重新评估占领和二战叙事在法国文化史上的地位和作用。它将系统地记录这一时期小说创作的细节，并产生关于这一时期主题和表现形式按时间顺序发展的广泛数据。通过新的数据和重点专题研究的生产，它将暴露当前史学假设的局限性，法国写作的战争和占领。大量的各种叙述都是关于1940年至1944年法国战败和被占领期间法国人的经历的，鉴于其极端和复杂的性质，这并不奇怪。自20世纪70年代以来，对这些年的历史和记忆的批判性关注尤为强烈，当时新一波的电影和小说将这一时期重新带回了公众意识的前沿。1970年代和1980年代的重要历史和批判性研究开辟了新的研究视角，这些研究分析了法国人对这一时期的理解，即“戴高乐主义神话”：一个团结在抵抗运动背后的国家，被新一代热衷于揭示隐藏的，更令人不安的，这一时期的现实。随着电影、小说、自传、证词、历史研究和批判性分析的不断涌现，涵盖了这一时期的各个方面，包括最近被驱逐到死亡集中营的创伤现实和法国在大屠杀中的同谋问题，占主导地位的批判性理解的关键原则仍然非常稳定：二十多年来，法国人一直压抑着对这段痛苦的、有时是可耻的、分裂的时期的了解。从20世纪90年代到现在，这些痛苦的启示不断重复，强化了一个无法接受过去的国家的印象。本项目的目的是检验这一模式的有效性，并分析其理论和史学假设。为此，我们将：对1939年以来产生的所有关于战争和占领的虚构叙述进行系统研究建立一个书目和主题数据库，使我们能够在可靠的经验基础上确定，在这一时期每个阶段的主题和问题的发展和演变建立一个项目网站，报告其进展情况在参考期刊和网站上公布我们的初步结论，在博士论文中对传统批判性观点和方法的两个核心问题进行持续的专题研究：组织一次国际会议，将该领域的主要学者聚集在一起，传播我们的研究结果，并对问题进行广泛的讨论，并出版其会议记录制作一本书，所有研究团队将为深入的批判性研究做出贡献潜在的应用和好处该项目将对从事法国研究，特别是战后文化和社会历史的学者具有价值，文学史，记忆和大屠杀研究该研究的系统性将通过包括被忽视和次要文本来贡献新的知识;它将修改现有知识，并通过重新绘制战后法国战争和占领的代表历史来设定新的研究议程，并通过理解过去被压抑然后被重新发现的现有范式来提供对法国民族身份的新见解。该数据库将对今后的研究具有持久的价值。它将可供学者用于各种未来的项目，并将能够增长，以应对这些未来研究议程的需求。
