Material Cultures of Refuge in Lebanon

该项目将研究在叙利亚大规模流离失所的背景下，黎巴嫩被迫移民的环境、物质、视觉和数字文化。在方法上，它将借鉴皮特河博物馆（Pitt Rivers Museum）最近开发的方法，将空间、人种学和考古方法与景观、建筑环境、物理和虚拟人工制品结合起来，这样做将有助于发展跨学科的博物馆研究，研究由移动中的人们创造的短暂物体和短暂空间。研究的目的是在不同尺度的分析之间建立联系，从区域和环境到场地特定和经验，从物质文化到人类生活。通过探索当代收集和参与性文献如何为其他不可见的经历提供声音，本研究旨在为当代世界的文献提供一个扩展的案例研究-在策展和博物馆学思想和实践的长期视角与难民经历的无常和不稳定性之间的交叉点上工作。

This project will study the environmental, material, visual and digital cultures of forced migration in Lebanon in the context of mass displacement from Syria. Methodologically, it will draw on recent approaches developed at the Pitt Rivers Museum to combine spatial, ethnographic, and archaeological approaches to landscapes, the built environment, and physical and virtual artefacts, In doing so it will contribute to the development of cross-disciplinary museum-based studies of transitory objects and ephemeral spaces created by people on the move. The research will aim to make connections between different scales of analysis from the regional and the environmental to the site-specific and the experienced, and from material culture to human lives. Through exploring how contemporary collecting and participatory documentation can give voices to otherwise invisible experiences, the research will aim to contribute an extended case study in the documentation of the contemporary world - working at the intersection between the long-term perspectives of curatorial and museological thought and practice and the impermanence and precarity of refugee experiences.
