Cultural conflict and self-other perception in modern European history: memory, record, archives

该项目侧重于现代欧洲对自我-他人身份的认知和建构的历史方面，特别涉及记忆、记录和档案。它由12位历史学家组成，并不强调知识的内生谱系，而是强调与“他者”的相遇和交流，并最终建立起基于人文主义和启蒙思想的知识和智慧。历史和知识界对普遍性和公开性的意愿是重要的。该项目的成员希望克服迄今为止知识上的条块分割，并为21世纪的人文学科获得一个良好的视角。该项目是一个鼓舞人心和有益的经验，但三年时间不足以完成我们的好产品。在未来的几年里，我们不仅会看到我们的学术文章和书籍，还会看到我们向公众开展的外联活动。

The project has focused on the historical aspect of modern European perception and construction of self-other identity, with special reference to memory, record and archives. Made up of twelve historians in the front-line, it has tried to emphasize not the endogenous genealogy of knowledge but the encounter and exchanges with 'the other' and the eventual building up of encyclopedic knowledge and wisdom based upon the humanist and enlightenment sources. Historical and intellectual will to generality and publicness was significant. The project members have wished to overcome the intellectual compartmentalization to date and to acquire a good perspective for the humanities of the twenty-first century.The project has been an inspiring and profitable experience, but three years are not sufficient to finish our good products. Some years to come will see not only our academic articles and books but also outreach activities to the public.
