摘要

本文探讨了东帝汶的死者是如何成为记忆工作者的。文章通过人种学研究,探讨了在印尼占领期间(1975-1999 年)死亡的人的亡灵如何在其家庭和社区中寻找和恢复他们的遗体,使他们能够在新的地理和社会政治空间中得到 "聚集 "和照顾。这些做法使生者和死者的社区在占领的深刻肢解影响之后得以重新组合,同时也使民族和国家建设项目中的一些沉默得以部分呈现和协商。我认为,虽然从推动特定社会或政治议程的意义上讲,死者不是记忆活动家,但从他们为生者工作的方式上讲,他们是记忆工作者,开辟了赔偿和政治的可能性。逝者的工作扰乱了主动与被动、主体与客体、人与非人之间的区别,而这些区别正是对记忆工作和记忆行动主义的主流理解的核心所在,从而带来了关于代理权的新思维方式,以及社会和政治变革有时可以通过的意想不到的途径。

The dead as memory workers
This article examines how Timor-Leste’s dead are memory workers. Drawing on ethnographic research, it probes how the restless spirits of those who died during the Indonesian occupation (1975–1999) are activating practices of searching for and recovering their bodies among their families and communities that allow them to be ‘gathered in’ and cared for in new geographic and socio-political spaces. These practices enable the re-membering of communities of the living and the dead in the aftermath of the profoundly dismembering effects of the occupation while also allowing some of the silences of nation-and-state-building projects to be made partially present and negotiated. I suggest that while the dead are not memory activists in the sense that they push for a specific social or political agenda, they are memory workers in the way they work on the living, opening up reparative and political possibilities. The work of the dead troubles the distinctions between the active and the passive, the subject and object, and the human and the more-than-human that lie at the heart of dominant understandings of memory-work and memory activism, inviting new ways of thinking about agency and the unexpected avenues through which social and political change can sometimes take place.

期刊介绍: Memory Studies is an international peer reviewed journal. Memory Studies affords recognition, form, and direction to work in this nascent field, and provides a critical forum for dialogue and debate on the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues central to a collaborative understanding of memory today. Memory Studies examines the social, cultural, cognitive, political and technological shifts affecting how, what and why individuals, groups and societies remember, and forget. The journal responds to and seeks to shape public and academic discourse on the nature, manipulation, and contestation of memory in the contemporary era.
