The Truth about the Troubles: Negotiating Narratives of the Past in Guided Political Tours of West Belfast
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.
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.
