The Politics of Memory in the Borderlands

该项目将研究边界习俗及其政治、社会和语言机制以及对布特岛（苏格兰）和兰佩杜萨岛（意大利）的影响。虽然在许多方面有所不同，但这两个岛屿都被海洋的自然边界所包围，并且是近年来国际移民数量增加的小型孤立社区的家园（难民署，2019;麦肯纳，2017）。该项目以这两个案例为重点，并采用翻译研讨会的创新方法，旨在为研究较少的农村边境地区和使用多种语言的地理做出贡献，同时提供关于移民融合，社区记忆和多种语言的原创，批判性和潜在的政策相关研究。

This project will research bordering practices and their political, social and linguistic mechanisms and effects on the islands of Bute (Scotland) and Lampedusa (Italy). Though different in many ways, both islands are surrounded by the natural border of the sea and home to small, isolated communities which have seen increased numbers of international migrants in recent years (UNHCR, 2019; McKenna, 2017). Focusing on these two case sites and using an innovative method of translation workshops, this project aims to contribute to the lesser studied areas of rural borderscapes and geographies of multilingualism, while providing original, critical and potentially policy-relevant research on migrant integration, community memory and multilingualism.
