Abstract

This article progresses Second World War historiography of ‘enemy alien’ internment, especially of the SS Arandora Star, sunk in 1940 with a high loss of Italian civilian lives. Employing a new paradigm, that of the deathscape, defined as a topography of death and the practices that surround it, this investigation recontextualises Arandora Star remembrance in Scotland. Ambiguous loss, complicated grieving, disenfranchisements in mourning and absences in multiple layers of the deathscape form overarching themes that are explored in parallel to emotional-affective memory. The previously neglected study of individual memorialisation, both private and ‘official’, provides an important primary source in the fragmented materiality of the deathscape, allowing fresh insight on both cultural manifestations and political context. As the material and cultural apex of the deathscape, the Italian Cloister Garden and Arandora Star Memorial in Glasgow, created by Archbishop Mario Conti in 2011, are evaluated through the lenses of leadership, identity and heritage activism.

死亡景观、物质性和纪念:苏格兰的阿兰多拉星纪念活动
这篇文章对第二次世界大战中有关 "敌国侨民 "被关押的历史研究,尤其是 1940 年沉没的 SS "阿兰多拉之星 "号的历史研究有所进展,当时有大量意大利平民丧生。这项调查采用了一种新的范式,即死亡景观范式,将其定义为死亡的地形图以及围绕死亡的各种做法,重新构建了苏格兰的 "阿兰多拉之星 "纪念活动。模棱两可的损失、复杂的哀悼、哀悼中的剥夺权利以及死亡景观多层次中的缺失构成了与情感记忆并行探讨的首要主题。之前被忽视的个人纪念研究,包括私人纪念和 "官方 "纪念,为死亡景观的碎片化物质性提供了重要的原始资料,使我们能够对文化表现和政治背景有新的认识。作为死亡景观的物质和文化顶点,由马里奥-孔蒂大主教于 2011 年在格拉斯哥创建的意大利回廊花园和阿兰多拉星纪念馆通过领导力、身份和遗产活动等视角进行了评估。
