Scalded memory: violence, gender and the Irish, 1169-1923

从中世纪开始，爱尔兰人在国内外的历史都是非常暴力的。虽然历史学家从英雄政治叙事的角度研究了战争和叛乱，但对于一位诗人所说的爱尔兰的“烫伤的记忆”，却没有系统的分析。暴力在普通爱尔兰男女生活中的意义。 该项目将对爱尔兰和爱尔兰侨民的暴力和性别问题进行一次雄心勃勃的调查。它将促进爱尔兰和澳大利亚大学之间的合作，为博士生提供培训，并帮助促进澳大利亚的爱尔兰研究。

The history of the Irish at home and abroad from the medieval period has been extraordinarily violent. While historians have studied wars and rebellions in terms of heroic political narratives, there has been no systematic analysis of what a poet has termed Ireland's 'scalded memory?: the meanings of violence in the lives of ordinary Irish women and men. This project will undertake an extremely ambitious interrogation of violence and gender in Ireland and the Irish diaspora. It will promote collaboration between Irish and Australian universities, provide training for a PhD student and help foster Irish Studies in Australia.
