Abstract

Abstract This article begins the work of recovering and understanding children's unique experiences during the Irish Revolution by exploring the history of a diverse group of children and young people bound together by their fathers’ politics during and after the 1916 Easter Rising. In tracing the children of the executed and martyred rebel leaders of the Easter Rising, I seek to challenge and extend the way trauma has been conceptualized and applied by historians of Ireland's revolution, instead arguing that the methodologies of the history of emotions and experience offer more fruitful terrain to explore. In this way, trauma is not an essentializing state of being but instead is navigated, renegotiated, and resurfaced throughout one's life, frequently into old age. Leaning into the inherent uncertainty that writing about children's emotional experiences entails, I read into, across, and against fragmentary and diverse sources to recover the stories of these children who were plunged into national prominence by their fathers’ executions. I also acknowledge my own emotional response to these children's stories and seek to explore the methodological value of this affect in the archive for historians of the Irish Revolution.
民族孤儿和民族创伤:1916年复活节起义烈士的经历、情感和子女
摘要本文通过探索1916年复活节起义期间和之后,一群不同的儿童和年轻人被父亲的政治束缚在一起的历史,开始了恢复和理解爱尔兰革命期间儿童的独特经历的工作。在追踪复活节起义中被处决和牺牲的反叛领导人的子女时,我试图挑战和扩展爱尔兰革命历史学家对创伤的概念化和应用方式,相反,我认为情感和经验史的方法论提供了更丰富的探索领域。通过这种方式,创伤并不是一种本质化的存在状态,而是在一个人的一生中被引导、重新协商和重新出现,经常到老年。我深入到写儿童情感经历所带来的内在不确定性中,深入、跨越和反对零碎和多样化的来源,以恢复这些因父亲被处决而在全国引起关注的儿童的故事。我也承认我自己对这些儿童故事的情感反应,并试图在爱尔兰革命历史学家的档案中探索这种影响的方法论价值。

期刊介绍: The official publication of the North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS), the Journal of British Studies, has positioned itself as the critical resource for scholars of British culture from the Middle Ages through the present. Drawing on both established and emerging approaches, JBS presents scholarly articles and books reviews from renowned international authors who share their ideas on British society, politics, law, economics, and the arts. In 2005 (Vol. 44), the journal merged with the NACBS publication Albion, creating one journal for NACBS membership. The NACBS also sponsors an annual conference , as well as several academic prizes, graduate fellowships, and undergraduate essay contests .
