The Dynamics of Trauma, History and Memory: 'Memories' of the Massacre of Oradour-sur- Glane in Alsace

我提供了一个项目，旨在调查在阿尔萨斯奥拉杜尔大屠杀的“记忆”。自20世纪90年代以来，法国历史学者在高度政治化的记忆行动主义的当代背景下对奥拉杜尔进行了个案研究。他们的作品主要定位于国家层面，并支持国家批准的对奥拉杜尔殉难村遗址的纪念活动，作为“官方”的记忆替代品。该项目旨在将当前关于奥拉杜尔的文献的重点从“官方”与“白话”叙事的背景转移到一个更广泛的框架中，该框架旨在将记忆作为“特设”和“多维度”来参与。这将使我能够探索“记忆”的差距，在这项工作中，有“跳跃式”的阿尔萨斯和奥拉杜尔（1940年疏散轨迹）和他们的战后关系之间的大屠杀前的关系。我的项目旨在调动一系列的源材料，从人文和社会科学的研究技术参与。国家历史往往是非黑即白色的：谁是国家的“赢家”和输家？如果说“国家记忆”或“集体记忆”是恰当的，那么它表现在公共纪念活动中，这往往会掩盖或边缘化其他记忆。因此，这个项目不是想象一个由国家代表的集体“心灵”，而是为了让边缘化的“阿尔萨斯”体验出现，而是旨在与社会行为者，他们的关系，他们在地方和家庭层面的“记忆”，他们在阿尔萨斯地区层面的表达形式，游说和互动。

I offer a project which seeks to investigate 'memories' of the Massacre of Oradour in Alsace. Scholars of French history have engaged with the case study of Oradour in a contemporary context of highly politicised memory-activism that has characterised the field since the 1990s.They have largely situated their works at the national level and endorse state-sanctioned commemoration of the site of the martyred village of Oradour as an 'official' lieu de mémoire. This project aims to shift the emphasis in the current literature on Oradour from the context of 'official' versus 'vernacular' narratives into a broader framework that seeks to engage with memory as 'ad-hoc' and 'multi- dimensional'. This will allow me to explore 'memory' gaps in this work that has 'leap-frogged' the pre-massacre relations between Alsace and Oradour (1940 evacuation trajectories) and their post-war relations. My project seeks to mobilise a range of source materials, engaging with research techniques from the humanities and social sciences. National histories tend to be black and white: who are the nation's 'winners' and losers'? If it is appropriate at all to speak of 'national memory' or 'collective remembrance', it manifests itself in public commemoration, which tends to occlude or marginalise other memories. So, instead of imagining one collective 'psyche' represented by the state, for the marginalised 'Alsatian' experience to emerge, this project aims to engage with social actors, their relations, their 'memories' at local and family level, their forms of expression, lobbying and interaction at the level of the Alsatian region.
