Abstract

Abstract:Since the Troubles came to an end in 1998, guided tours of the infamous political murals and peace walls have thrived. This paper shows how narratives of the Troubles are constructed through the performative and discursive practices of tour guides. I identify how the ethical standards of giving a truthful and balanced tour are adhered to during the tours and self-enforced among the guides. I argue that tour guides are creating a new narrative of the Troubles based on the recognition of multiple experiences of the conflict and conclude that the burgeoning tourism industry provides an outlet for negotiating representations of the past.

麻烦的真相：西贝尔法斯特政治导览中的谈判叙事

摘要：自1998年动乱结束以来，臭名昭著的政治壁画和和平墙的导游活动蓬勃发展。本文展示了如何通过导游的表演和话语实践来构建麻烦故事。我了解如何在旅游期间遵守真实和平衡的旅游道德标准，并在导游中自我执行。我认为，导游们正在基于对冲突多重经历的认识，创造一种新的麻烦叙事，并得出结论，蓬勃发展的旅游业为谈判过去的代表提供了一个出口。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
