摘要

“aragalaya”或“人民斗争”也许是斯里兰卡悠久的民主历史中最重要和成功的运动之一。2015年,当斯里兰卡人对自己的政治代表不满意时,民主出人意料地战胜了一切困难,“投票”了政府。2022年,出乎意料的是,斯里兰卡人民通过大规模抗议和起义推翻了一个政府,这在他的历史上还是第一次。抗议者跨越了社会经济阶层和许多其他障碍,聚集在一起,游行到科伦坡的加勒菲斯格林,彼此平行,彼此的目标。这一次,他们要做的不仅仅是推翻政府,而是追求正义、公平、民主和制度变革的理念。本文探讨了那些“生活”在抗议现场的人的记忆和观点,以及记忆、地点和空间的社会建构之间的关系,因为他们重新聚集在一起,共同创造了aragalaya(斗争)和aragala bhoomiya(斗争地点)的公共历史的记忆映射练习。

Memoryscapes: The Evolution of Sri Lanka’s Aragala Bhoomiya as a People’s Space of Protest
Abstract The ‘aragalaya’ or the ‘people’s struggle’ was perhaps one of the most important and successful movements of Sri Lanka’s long history of democracy. In 2015, democracy prevailed, unexpectedly and against all odds, when Sri Lankans, unsatisfied with their political representation, ‘voted out’ a government. In 2022, just as unexpectedly and for the first time in his history, the people of Sri Lanka ousted a government through mass protest and uprising. The protesters, cutting across socio-economic class and arguably many other barriers, came together and marched to Colombo’s Galle Face Green, in parallel to each other and to each other’s goals. This time, they came to do more than simply oust a government but for an idea of justice, equity, democracy, and system change. This article explores the memories and perspectives of those who ‘lived’ on the protest site and the relationship between memory, place, and the social construction of space, as they reconvened for a memory-mapping exercise in co-creating public histories of the aragalaya (struggle) and the aragala bhoomiya (site of struggle).
