Song Lines to Impact and Legacy: Creating Living Knowledge through Working with Social Haunting

该项目源于AHRC连接社区ECR发展项目“与社会困扰合作”和AHRC 2106节日项目“开放“开放空间”：将幽灵实验室作为代际乌托邦实践”。在这两个由早期职业研究员Geoff Bright博士领导的项目中，幽灵实验室的社区实践模式被发展为一种复兴“社区存在”的手段，这些“社区存在”隐藏在有争议的过去中，作为活着但被征服的知识。考虑到2016年的英国脱欧公投，以及围绕大都市地区和去工业化地区之间地理差异的南北分裂的流行话语的扩散，Ghost Lab模式与新合作伙伴一起传播到新领域尤为重要——这一议程在我们项目的生命周期中强烈出现。我们将通过传播我们设计的作为社区“幽灵狩猎”方法的一部分的技术之一来增强我们前两个AHRC项目的影响和遗产：“社区塔罗牌”阅读-这是一种简单，有趣的社区重新想象装置，起源于我们在南约克郡，兰开夏郡和斯塔福德郡的研究工作。与我们的新创意合作伙伴Ribbon Road（专业民间音乐家与社区合作）合作；我们已建立的合作伙伴联合社区、合作学院和新维克剧院；和我们新的社区合作伙伴东兰开夏工人教育协会，东达勒姆艺术家网络，达勒姆参与性研究中心，谢菲尔德现场和世界社区无线电广播协会（AMARC），我们将在五个新社区（东北三个，西北两个）的六个“影响和遗产幽灵实验室”展示社区塔罗牌阅读技术。作为一项创新，将从这些影响事件中创造四到六首“歌曲线”（根据当地不同歌曲传统专门编写和录制的歌曲），并通过以下方式以视频和音频形式在地区、国家和国际上传播：-我们广泛的社区合作伙伴网络-通过Sheffield Live和AMARC促进的一系列互动社区广播联系。具体而言，国际联系将与斯洛文尼亚、海地、美国、匈牙利、马拉维和巴斯克地区的社区广播电台进行——委托制作的两个大型公共视频材料（东北部和西北部各一个）——在曼彻斯特人民历史博物馆举行的一次从业者/决策者会议——委托制作的一个网站。东北部的三个社区将是达勒姆煤田的Seaham， Horden和Willington，西北部的两个社区将是Rochdale（两个地点的Ghost Labs）和Hyde， Tameside -所有这些社区与英国脱欧的关系都是复杂的，矛盾的，潜在的分裂。通过2017年达勒姆矿工晚会、大约克郡表演、维根挖掘者节和合作学院会议等面向公众的影响活动，我们将以歌曲、图像和不断增加的“社区塔罗牌包”的形式建立“生活知识”，作为社区重新想象的生动视觉和概念词典。借鉴我们在萨默塞特宫艺术节上的投入，公共“阅读”将由我们的新维克剧院合作伙伴提供，他们自己是斯塔福德郡社区塔罗牌阅读的起源和试点的核心。在人民历史博物馆举行的政策制定者和从业者会议上，网站将启动；示范幽灵实验室技术全部曲目的讲习班；以及展示由丝带之路创作的音乐/视觉“歌曲线”、国际互动社区电台广播材料和项目电影材料。

This project arises out of the AHRC Connected Communities ECR Development Project 'Working with Social Haunting' and the AHRC 2106 Festival project 'Opening the 'Unclosed Space': Multiplying Ghost Labs as Intergenerational Utopian Practice'. In both of these projects, led by early career researcher, Dr Geoff Bright, the Ghost Lab model of community practice was developed as a means of reanimating aspects of "communal being-ness" concealed within contested pasts as living but subjugated knowledge. Dissemination of the Ghost Lab model into new areas with new partners is particularly relevant, given the 2016 Brexit vote and a proliferation of popular discourses about a north/south division fracturing along geographies of difference between metropolitan locations and de-industrialised areas - an agenda that emerged strongly during the lifetime of our projects.We will enhance the impacts and legacies of our two previous AHRC projects by disseminating one of the techniques that we designed as part of a repertoire of community 'ghost hunting' methods: the "community tarot" reading - a simple, playful device of community reimagination that originated during our research work in South Yorkshire, Lancashire and Staffordshire. Working with our new creative partners, Ribbon Road (professional folk musicians working with communities); our established partners Unite Community, Co-op College and the New Vic Theatre; and our new community partners East Lancashire Workers Education Association, East Durham Artists Network, Durham Participatory Research Hub, Sheffield Live and the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) we will showcase the community tarot reading technique at six 'Impact and Legacy Ghost Labs' in five new communities (three in NE and two in the NW). As an innovation, four to six "song lines" (specially written and recorded songs in line with local dissenting song traditions) will be created from those impact events and disseminated regionally, nationally and internationally in video and audio form through: - our extensive community partner networks- a series of interactive community radio links facilitated through Sheffield Live and AMARC. Specific, international links will be with community radio stations in Slovenia, Haiti, the US, Hungary, Malawi and the Basque country- two large-scale public projections of commissioned video material (one each in the NE and NW) - a practioner/policy-maker conference at the People's History Museum, Manchester- a commissioned website. The three NE communities will be Seaham, Horden and Willington on the Durham coalfield, and the two communities in the NW will be Rochdale (Ghost Labs on two sites) and Hyde, Tameside - all of which are communities where the relationship to Brexit is complicated, ambivalent and potentially divisive. Through public-facing impact engagements at the 2017 Durham Miners' Gala, Great Yorkshire Show, Wigan Diggers' Festival, and the Co-operative College Conference, we will establish a 'living knowledge' in the form of songs, images and an ever multiplying "Community Tarot pack" that operates as a living visual and conceptual lexicon of community re-imagination. Drawing on the example of our input at the Somerset House festival, public "readings' will be offered by our New Vic theatre partners, who themselves were central to originating and piloting the community tarot readings in Staffordshire. The policy-maker and practitioner conference held at the People's History Museum will see the launch of the website; workshops exemplifying the whole repertoire of Ghost Lab techniques; and a showcasing of the music/visual "song lines" created by Ribbon Road, the internationally interactive community radio broadcast material, and the project film material.
