Abstract

The centenary of the Irish Revolution has just concluded, with 2023 marking the hundredth anniversary of the ‘dump arms’ order which ended, albeit ambiguously, the civil war of 1922–3. European history has been accustomed to marking centenaries during the past ten years, from the First World War which overturned a global order, to the Russian Revolution which created a new one, to the post-war national reverberations which created revolutions of their own. The enthusiasm with which these have been marked across Europe has varied considerably, with the sombre ne plus jamais tones of the centenary of the First World War giving way rapidly to the muted if not entirely absent commemorations of the October Revolution in Russia. The island of Ireland has perhaps been more wedded than elsewhere in Europe to the relentless treadmill of centenaries, with the Irish state formally dating its existence to the vanguardist rebellion, popular mandates and political institutions that occurred between 1916 and 1922, and Northern Ireland being dated to 1920. The ‘Decade of Centenaries’, as it is known in Ireland, has been unfolding according to a carefully arranged schedule since 2012; the end, marking the ambiguous conclusion of the Irish Civil War, is finally upon us. The implications of the ‘Decade’ for public history, for the position of professional historians within and outside the academy, and for the broader understanding of the revolutionary decade are significant and have generated their own critical literature.
导言:爱尔兰革命的新历史
爱尔兰革命一百周年纪念日刚刚结束,2023年是“倾倒武器”令一百周年,该命令结束了1922–3年的内战,尽管意义不明确。在过去的十年里,欧洲历史已经习惯于纪念一百周年,从推翻全球秩序的第一次世界大战,到创造新秩序的俄罗斯革命,再到创造自己革命的战后国家反响。欧洲各地对这些事件的热情差异很大,第一次世界大战一百周年的忧郁加上睡衣的基调很快被俄罗斯十月革命的无声纪念所取代,如果不是完全没有的话。爱尔兰岛可能比欧洲其他地方更紧密地与百年来无情的跑步机联系在一起,爱尔兰国家的存在正式可以追溯到1916年至1922年间发生的先锋叛乱、民众授权和政治制度,北爱尔兰可以追溯到1920年。爱尔兰称之为“百年庆典”,自2012年以来一直按照精心安排的时间表展开;“十年”对公共历史的影响,对学院内外专业历史学家的地位的影响,以及对革命十年的更广泛理解,都具有重要意义,并产生了自己的批评文献。

期刊介绍: Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
