Abstract

Drawing on life history interviews conducted with former fishers and other older residents in Great Yarmouth – one of the 20% most deprived districts in England – this article explores how memories of a once flourishing fishing industry are used to make sense of the decline that followed the end of the industry in the 1960s. Focusing on the material and affective constituents of people’s memories, embodied in three categories of fishing-related objects (boats and quay, nets and fish) through which their stories are told, I explore how those formerly involved in fishing-related activities understand and experience the past and their world in the present. Using biographical and historical memories to reclaim their role in the making of a town that they consider to ‘have missed the boat’, they are able to make sense of the transformations that occurred and to reclaim their role as place makers.
渔业景观的记忆:理解流动和衰落
根据对大雅茅斯(英格兰20%最贫困地区之一)前渔民和其他老年居民的生活史采访,本文探讨了如何利用曾经繁荣的捕鱼业的记忆来理解20世纪60年代该行业终结后的衰退。关注人们记忆的物质和情感成分,体现在三类与捕鱼有关的物体(船和码头,网和鱼)中,通过这些物体讲述他们的故事,我探索了那些曾经参与与捕鱼有关的活动的人如何理解和体验过去和他们现在的世界。通过使用传记和历史记忆来重新确立他们在城镇建设中的角色,他们认为“错过了机会”,他们能够理解发生的转变,并重新确立他们作为场所创造者的角色。

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.
