摘要

跨大西洋奴隶贸易是人类历史上最残酷的事件之一,其影响跨越了几个世纪。奴隶纪念碑是对奴隶贸易记忆的可见表现,也是公众讨论这一事件及其影响的途径。本研究选取YouTube上纪念加纳跨大西洋奴隶贸易的影片,不仅检视影片内容,也检视YouTube使用者对影片的评论。基于这些视频和评论,我们分析了公众对跨大西洋奴隶贸易的看法、解读和重建。这项研究发现,社交媒体为加强跨大西洋奴隶贸易的公共话语提供了机会。公众对这一事件的解读传达出一种乐观、宽恕、和解以及对一个更美好、更公平的世界的希望。本文还讨论了对学校中困难历史教学的影响。

Public History in Digital Spaces: Public Interpretations of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Its Implications for History Teaching
Abstract The Transatlantic Slave Trade was one of the cruelest events in human history, with its effects spanning several centuries. Slave monuments are visible representations of the memory of the slave trade and avenues for public discourse about the event and its impacts. This study draws on YouTube videos commemorating the Transatlantic Slave Trade in Ghana, examining not only the content of the videos but also the comments that YouTube users made on the videos. Based on the videos and comments, we analyze public sentiments, interpretations, and reconstruction of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This study finds that social media presents opportunities to intensify public discourses about the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Public interpretations of the event convey a sense of optimism, forgiveness, reconciliation, and hope for a better and fairer world. Implications for the teaching of difficult histories in schools are discussed.
