Over the past several decades, intergenerational memory and trauma have become key terms in debates about post-conflict recovery. Originally conceptualized as an experience so shocking it cannot be integrated into a subject's conscious memory, trauma now refers to extra-ordinarily painful experiences, or wounds to memory, which profoundly shape both collective and individual identity. Victims of violence and their descendants have mobilized both psychological and neurobiological arguments about trauma to gain social recognition, as well as access psychosocial and material resources. However, commonsense understandings of intergenerational memory and trauma are largely based on a narrow set of paradigmatic studies of mass-violence. This project tests whether that selection bias impedes the efficacy of those claims. In addition to providing funding for the training of a graduate student in anthropology in the methods of empirical, scientific data collection and analysis, the project would enhance scientific understanding by broadly disseminating its findings to organizations invested in the use of evidence-based media production to understand and inform post-crisis community interventions.Zoe Berman, under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Cole of the University of Chicago will explore whether, and if so, to what extent, different sociohistorical conditions shape the ways in which memories and trauma are experienced and shared. How do understandings of historic violence, mental health, and social difference evolve after conflict? What practices enable individual and collective resolution after violence, and how do these practices change over time? The researcher will explore such questions through an ethnographic investigation of intergenerational memory practices, trauma, and social antagonism in a post-conflict context. Over 15 months, using a range of ethnographic and linguistic techniques of data collection and analysis (including interviews, participant observation, archival analysis, and collaborative interpretation), she will track the work of official and unofficial memory practices within and across three multi-generational youth-focused organizations, as well as in popular media and at the level of policy. Exploring how memories and trauma are evoked and made relevant to different contexts, the researcher will investigate whether a range of normative and structural social relationships are reproduced or re-imagined through practices of remembering.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在过去的几十年中，代际记忆和创伤已成为有关冲突后恢复的辩论中的关键术语。最初被概念化为一种如此令人震惊的经历，无法整合到受试者的意识记忆中，创伤现在是指外部痛苦的经历，或者是记忆的伤口，这些经历深刻地塑造了集体和个人身份。暴力及其后代的受害者动员了有关创伤的心理和神经生物学论据，以获得社会认可，并获得了社会心理和物质资源。然而，对代际记忆和创伤的常识性理解主要基于大量暴力的范式研究。该项目测试该选择是否会妨碍这些主张的功效。除了为在经验，科学数据收集和分析的方法中培训人类学研究生的资金外，该项目还将通过将其发现广泛地传播给对基于证据的媒体生产的组织来理解和告知Criscrisis Crissis crise distorions.zoe Berman，colle and Colle of Colle of Colle of Jennerifer of Jennerifer of Jennerifer cole，该项目将通过广泛地将其发现的发现来增强科学理解。不同的社会历史条件塑造了经历和共享记忆和创伤的方式。冲突后，对历史暴力，心理健康和社会差异的理解如何发展？暴力事件发生后的个人和集体解决方案，这些实践如何随着时间的流逝而改变？研究人员将通过民族志研究在冲突后的情况下对代际记忆实践，创伤和社会对抗进行民族志调查来探讨此类问题。在15个月的时间里，她将使用一系列数据收集和分析（包括访谈，参与者观察，档案分析和协作解释）的技术，她将跟踪三个多代青年型组织内外的官方和非正式记忆实践的工作，以及在普遍的媒体以及普遍的政策水平上的工作。探索如何通过记忆的实践来唤起记忆和与不同环境相关的记忆和与不同环境相关，并将调查是否通过记忆的实践来复制或重新想象一系列规范性和结构性的社会关系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
