ABSTRACT The micro, meso, and macro levels of family history have been examined in qualitative and quantitative research in diverse ways. This article mainly examines a micro-level family history, specifically my early experience, in a narrative, retrospective and reflective manner. As the eldest son of my family, I review and (re)write my family stories after my ancestors’ land was lost. This research asserts that we are in the endless process of creating family history that forms the foundation of our understanding of the world, and that from this starting point, we continuously create and recreate ourselves. We write about our family history to better understand the past and to live well at present and contribute to the process of knowledge making for the well-being of the human species.
家族史的微观、中观和宏观层面已经以不同的方式进行了定性和定量研究。本文主要以叙述性、回顾性和反思性的方式考察微观层面的家族史,特别是我早期的经历。作为家里的长子,我在祖先的土地失去后回顾并(重新)书写我的家庭故事。这项研究表明,我们正在无休止地创造家族史,这是我们理解世界的基础,从这个起点开始,我们不断地创造和再造自己。我们写我们的家族史是为了更好地理解过去,过好现在的生活,并为人类物种的福祉贡献知识。

The Role of Serendipity and Collaboration in Adding Texture and Family Context to the Career of Australian Educator Renée Erdos (1911–1997) 意外发现和合作在为澳大利亚教育家ren<s:1> e Erdos(1911-1997)的职业生涯增添质感和家庭背景中的作用

ABSTRACT Renée Erdos was a history teacher and distance educator whose significance to Australian and international education was recognised in 2021 with an entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography. During her lifetime Erdos published a memoir, Teaching Beyond the Campus, and has left a collection of papers with the National Library of Australia. However, this material deals almost exclusively with her professional life. Her family history and personal life have been difficult to reconstruct even though the digital revolution and access to online resources such as Trove and Ancestry.com have helped to reveal more of the traces of her past. This article reflects on the way in which old-fashioned serendipity and collaboration resulting from chance encounters with researchers in different fields have played a role in providing access to otherwise hidden sources and information. The stories that emerge are interesting and add new dimensions to our understanding of Erdos's early life. Even though the serendipity and collaboration have been mediated by the internet and its instantaneous international reach, they highlight the way in which life writing can thrive on personal meetings across the range of historical practice, including family history.
rensame Erdos是一位历史教师和远程教育家,他对澳大利亚和国际教育的重要性于2021年被收录在澳大利亚传记词典中。在她的一生中,Erdos出版了一本回忆录《校园之外的教学》,并在澳大利亚国家图书馆留下了一系列论文。然而,这些材料几乎只涉及她的职业生涯。她的家族史和个人生活一直很难重建,尽管数字革命和在线资源(如Trove和Ancestry.com)帮助揭示了她过去的更多痕迹。这篇文章反映了由于与不同领域的研究人员偶然相遇而产生的传统的意外发现和合作在提供获取其他隐藏的资源和信息方面发挥的作用。书中出现的故事很有趣,为我们了解鄂尔多斯的早年生活增添了新的维度。尽管这种意外和合作是由互联网及其即时的国际影响力促成的,但它们突显出,生活写作可以在跨越历史实践范围(包括家族史)的个人会面中蓬勃发展。

No Cure: Illness through a Lebanese Arab Queer Lens 《无法治愈:黎巴嫩阿拉伯同性恋镜头下的疾病》

ABSTRACT Queer Arab life writing, especially in the context of the Coronavirus pandemic, is scarce. In my three-part auto-ethnographic essay, I explore the overarching relationship between illness and queerness, given that in many spaces the latter still falls under the umbrella of the former – especially in the Middle East where I reside. In the first part, set in 2018, I tackle the idea of wanting to have a terminal disease, cancer, and try to work out why exactly I feel that way. To do so, I revisit scenes that juxtapose this ‘real’ sickness with the ‘perceived’ sickness of being queer in Lebanon. The second part examines the relationship between queerness and a specific illness, COVID-19, as I experienced it in 2020. The third part elaborates on the prolonged, still roiling, impact of this illness, on queer life particularly, and possible positive aspects of the pandemic. While the essay starts with my point of view as someone who has recently come out as queer and moved to Beirut, the rest is written after living there two years as an openly LGBT person. I reflect on the evolution of my relationship with illness and queerness through this coming-out, and ultimately coming-of-age, transition.
阿拉伯酷儿的生活写作,尤其是在冠状病毒大流行的背景下,是稀缺的。在这篇由三部分组成的自人种志文章中,我探讨了疾病和酷儿之间的总体关系,因为在许多地方,后者仍然处于前者的庇护之下——尤其是在我居住的中东地区。在第一部分中,故事发生在2018年,我处理了想要患上绝症——癌症的想法,并试图找出我到底为什么会有这种感觉。为了做到这一点,我重温了一些场景,将这种“真实”的疾病与黎巴嫩“感知”的同性恋疾病并置。第二部分探讨了酷儿与一种特定疾病COVID-19之间的关系,就像我在2020年经历的那样。第三部分详细阐述了这种疾病的长期影响,特别是对同性恋生活的影响,以及这种流行病可能带来的积极影响。虽然这篇文章的开头是我作为一个最近出柜并搬到贝鲁特的人的观点,但其余的都是我作为一个公开的LGBT者在那里生活了两年之后写的。通过这次出柜,以及最终成年的转变,我反思了我与疾病和酷儿关系的演变。

ABSTRACT In recent times, the Irish literary arena has witnessed an extraordinary flourishing of women’s life writing, with a special interest in the examination of the female body. These works explore the relations between identity, memoir, and narration through the confessional, and reconceptualise the female body in the Irish context. This article sets out to examine collections of essays by two of these women writers, Emilie Pine’s Notes to Self (2019) and Sinéad Gleeson’s Constellations: Reflections from Life (2019), as innovative explorations of identity by applying Michael Bamberg’s integrative approach of narrative analysis. It aims to illuminate these examples of essayism as ‘interactional and bodily performed’ narratives, in Bamberg’s words, and as testimonies of transformation and adaptation of the body-mediated selves not only in Ireland, but universally. Pine and Gleeson’s essays look back on painful past experiences and explore the intersection of identity, textuality, and the body.
近年来,爱尔兰文坛上的女性生活写作异常繁荣,对女性身体的审视尤为关注。这些作品通过忏悔来探索身份、回忆录和叙事之间的关系,并重新定义爱尔兰语境下的女性身体。本文旨在研究其中两位女作家的散文集,艾米丽·派恩的《自我笔记》(2019)和辛姆萨德·格里森的《星座:生活的反思》(2019),通过运用迈克尔·班伯格的综合叙事分析方法,对身份进行创新探索。用班伯格的话说,它的目的是阐明这些散文作为“互动和身体表演”叙事的例子,不仅在爱尔兰,而且在世界范围内,作为身体中介自我的转变和适应的见证。派恩和格里森的文章回顾了痛苦的过去经历,并探索了身份、文本和身体的交集。

Crowd Coaxing and Citizen Storytelling in Archives of Crisis 危机档案中的群众咨询与市民故事

ABSTRACT Cultural institutions are continually responding and adapting to the pandemic and climate change, from operational challenges in times of lockdown and natural disasters, to rapid response collecting practices that document these ‘unprecedented times’. As part of their response, some of these institutions—known as LAM (Libraries and Museums)— have harnessed participatory media such as Facebook and purpose-built digital sites that simultaneously collect, curate and often exhibit life narratives in public archives of crises. This practice can be described reductively as crowdsourcing; however, I conceptualise curators’ rapid response collecting efforts of Covid-19 and climate change life narratives on participatory media platforms as crowd coaxing, and those who respond to the crowd coax are citizen storytellers, who co-publish archives of crisis with the institution. Whilst this is not without ethical and structural challenges, the National Museum of Australia’s participatory website, ‘Momentous’ and associated Facebook public group pages: ‘Bridging the Distance: Sharing our Covid-19 pandemic experiences’ and ‘Fridge Door Fire Stories’ show how such crowd coaxing practices create archives of crisis populated by citizen storytellers who exert agency within the traditional power dynamics of institutional frameworks and national identity for a more diverse historical record.
文化机构正在不断地应对和适应流行病和气候变化,从封锁和自然灾害时期的运营挑战,到记录这些“前所未有的时代”的快速反应收集实践。作为应对措施的一部分,其中一些机构——被称为LAM(图书馆和博物馆)——利用Facebook等参与性媒体和专门建立的数字网站,同时收集、策划并经常展示危机公共档案中的生活叙事。这种做法可以简化为众包;然而,我将策展人在参与式媒体平台上对Covid-19和气候变化生活叙事的快速反应收集工作定义为人群哄骗,而那些对人群哄骗做出回应的人是公民故事讲述者,他们与机构共同发布危机档案。虽然这并非没有道德和结构上的挑战,但澳大利亚国家博物馆的参与性网站“重大”和相关的Facebook公共群组页面:“弥合距离:“分享我们的Covid-19大流行经验”和“冰箱门火灾故事”展示了这种哄骗人群的做法如何创造出由公民讲故事者填充的危机档案,他们在制度框架和国家认同的传统权力动态中发挥作用,以实现更多样化的历史记录。

Reading and Seeing Women’s Life Writing Through Adrienne Rich in Alison Bechdel’s Are You My Mother? 从艾莉森·贝克德尔的《你是我妈妈吗?

ABSTRACT Alison Bechdel’s 2012 autography Are You My Mother? makes visible the power of a feminist poetics of revision. In this graphic memoir, Bechdel uses women’s writing and texts, and the intertextual, intersubjective relationships they engender, to show and tell the story of the subject as revisable. To tell the story of such a revisable self, a self revised through reading and writing, is a form of feminist practice, and to tell it in comics is to render that practice uniquely visible. Close attention has yet to be paid in readings of Are You My Mother? to another feminist lesbian woman writer who was preoccupied with the process of re-visioning the subject through reading and writing: Adrienne Rich. Rich is a touchstone for Bechdel’s parallel self-narratives of erotic discovery and development as an artist and a writer. Bechdel learns re-visioning the subject, through writing and revising, as a feminist practice, from Rich. Evidence of this process and practice may be found in Bechdel’s intertextual engagement with Rich’s work along with the artist’s comments on Rich, as well as archival materials such as drafts of Are You My Mother? and letters to her mother, Helen.
摘要Alison Bechdel 2012年亲笔签名《你是我妈妈吗?》?可见女性主义诗学修正的力量。在这本生动的回忆录中,贝奇德尔利用女性的写作和文本,以及它们所产生的互文性、主体间关系,来展示和讲述主题的故事,使其具有可修改性。讲述这样一个可修正的自我,一个通过阅读和写作进行自我修正的自我的故事,是女权主义实践的一种形式,而在漫画中讲述它,就是让这种实践变得独特可见。阅读《你是我妈妈吗?另一位女权主义女同性恋女作家Adrienne Rich专注于通过阅读和写作重新想象这个主题。里奇是贝克德尔作为艺术家和作家对情色发现和发展的平行自我叙事的试金石。作为一种女权主义实践,Bechdel通过写作和修改从Rich那里学习了重新构想这个主题。这一过程和实践的证据可以在贝奇德尔与里奇作品的互文互动中找到,以及艺术家对里奇的评论,以及档案材料,如《你是我的母亲吗?以及给她母亲海伦的信。

ABSTRACT This paper considers essays from Canadian author Anne Carson’s Glass, Irony & God (1992) and Plainwater (1995). Carson has spoken of these as reshapings of her life experience and recollections on the page. I suggest that it is the essential quality of plasticity—inherent to the essay genre, evident in the workings of memory, and displayed in Carson’s hybrid and experimental writing—which makes these works so powerful and expressly suited to their purpose. By working through contemporary definitions of the essay, touching on the neuroscience of memory, and analysing key examples of Carson’s life writing, I will also suggest that the particular qualities of lyric essay, such as its reliance on metaphor, elision and allusion, echo the ambiguities and inconsistencies inherent to identity, interpersonal relationships and autobiographical memory. Thus, this paper shows Carson as reaching beyond traditional textual practices of remembering to develop a unique mode of life writing ideally suited to reshaping and thus handling emotionally and ethically charged material, in order to bring the experimental personal essay to its fullest expression.
摘要本文综合了加拿大作家安妮•卡森的《玻璃、讽刺与上帝》(1992)和《平原》(1995)。卡森在页面上说,这些是对她的生活经历和回忆的重塑。我认为,正是可塑性的本质——这是散文类型固有的,在记忆的运作中表现得很明显,并在卡森的混合和实验写作中表现出来——使这些作品如此强大,并明确地符合其目的。通过研究这篇文章的当代定义,触及记忆的神经科学,并分析卡森生活写作的关键例子,我还认为抒情文章的特殊品质,如对隐喻、省略和暗示的依赖,呼应了身份、人际关系和自传体记忆所固有的模糊性和不一致性。因此,本文表明,卡森超越了传统的记忆文本实践,发展了一种独特的生活写作模式,非常适合重塑和处理情感和道德方面的材料,以使实验性的个人文章得到最充分的表达。

ABSTRACT In the late eighteenth century, European administrations saw the emergence of the Curriculum Vitae (CV) as a medium for job applications. These developments led civil servants who applied for employment to write about the merits of their careers. Focusing on Prussia and drawing on Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of ‘micropolitics’, I argue that the ‘meritocratisation’ of the civil service produced a competitive climate that prompted micropolitical coping strategies. Applicants used diverging ‘lines of writing’ to question the prevailing bureaucratic value system. In doing so, candidates tried to soften meritocratic rules to the maximum and shifted them in their favour. By recounting family hardships, strokes of fate, or undue career advancements of competitors, applicants legitimised the failing of their own careers and demanded professional re-compensation. The life writing exhibited in application letters and CVs was less about constructing an identity or producing meaning rather than strategically affecting the politics of advancement and career progression. The lives that are preserved in personnel files today were brought to writing only because applicants had a material interest in their integration into the bureaucratic apparatus.
在18世纪晚期,欧洲的行政部门看到了作为求职媒介的简历(CV)的出现。这些发展促使申请就业的公务员写下自己职业生涯的优点。关注普鲁士并借鉴Gilles Deleuze和f lix Guattari的“微观政治”概念,我认为公务员制度的“精英化”产生了一种竞争氛围,促使微观政治应对策略的产生。申请人用不同的“写作方式”来质疑盛行的官僚主义价值体系。在这样做的过程中,候选人试图最大限度地软化精英统治的规则,并将其转向对自己有利的方向。通过讲述家庭困难、命运的打击或竞争对手的不当职业发展,申请人将自己职业生涯的失败合法化,并要求获得职业补偿。在求职信和简历中表现出来的生活写作,与其说是在构建一种身份或产生意义,不如说是在战略上影响晋升和职业发展的政治。今天被保存在人事档案中的生活,只是因为申请人在融入官僚机构方面有物质利益。

ABSTRACT This article explores the conversational aspect of Cusk’s autofiction and discusses its relevance for describing the relationship between an autofictional text, its author and its reader. In Kudos, this conversational aspect is actualised as dialogic reading space (coaxing space), in which the reader is invited to, and permitted to, take part in the polyphonic construction of the narrative based on the author’s personal truths. The reader’s perspective is thus introduced into a nuanced approach to the themes in the text, but also towards the writing process itself, including its commercial and human entanglements. The dialogic reading space allows the author to disentangle herself from any autobiographical pressures while enabling the reader to recognise the open indeterminacy of autofiction as a wellspring of ideas rather than a genre issue.
本文探讨了库斯克自传体小说的对话方面,并讨论了对话对于描述自传体小说文本、作者和读者之间关系的相关性。在《Kudos》中,这种对话方面被实现为对话阅读空间(哄骗空间),在这个空间中,读者被邀请并允许参与到基于作者个人真相的叙事的复调结构中。因此,读者的视角被引入一种细致入微的方法,以了解文本中的主题,同时也关注写作过程本身,包括其商业和人文纠葛。对话式的阅读空间使作者能够从自传的压力中解脱出来,同时使读者认识到自传体小说的开放不确定性是思想的源泉,而不是类型问题。
