Abstract

Memory work involves mnemonic practices such as remembering, forgetting, and enactment of the past to address past wrongdoing, foster future action, and contribute to a sense of belonging. Working with diversity and plurality of memories, however, necessitates confronting the underlying politico‐ethical considerations and struggles when memory work transcends organizational bounds. This study focuses on the viewpoints of memory workers in communities in order to theorize the various possibilities and limitations of memory work as such. In this work, the politico‐ethical tensions are evident between the requirements of practicing an occupation and those of the communities, who in turn exhibit hierarchies, conflicts, and diversity within and between themselves. I suggest that taking a community‐centric approach to memory work can serve the dynamic integrity of memories, and foster community engagement and empowerment. Memory workers, then, can account for the politico‐ethical struggles over memories by orchestrating interpretive, open, and embodied mnemonic practices to remain in tune with the diverse, disputed, polyvocal, and ever‐unfolding memories. The contributions of this paper carry implications for a more pluralistic and dynamic approach to memory work, suited to our times marked by increased historical consciousness, rival memories, and fierce debates over what and how must be remembered.

来自象牙塔"?社区中的记忆工作者和记忆实践
记忆工作涉及记忆性实践,如记忆、遗忘和颁布过去,以处理过去的不法行为,促进未来的行动,并增强归属感。然而,当记忆工作超越组织界限时,就必须面对潜在的政治伦理考虑和斗争。本研究侧重于社区记忆工作者的观点,以便从理论上说明记忆工作的各种可能性和局限性。在这项工作中,从事一项职业的要求与社区的要求之间存在着明显的政治伦理紧张关系,而社区内部和社区之间又表现出等级制度、冲突和多样性。我认为,以社区为中心的记忆工作方法可以促进记忆的动态完整性,促进社区参与和赋权。因此,记忆工作者可以通过协调解释性、开放性和体现性的记忆实践,与多样化、有争议、多声部和不断发展的记忆保持一致,从而对记忆的政治伦理斗争做出解释。本文的贡献对于以一种更加多元和动态的方式开展记忆工作具有重要意义,这种方式适合于我们这个以历史意识的增强、相互对立的记忆以及关于必须记忆什么和如何记忆的激烈争论为特征的时代。
