摘要

摘要区别于主要从时间年表来构思历史的压倒性倾向,本文考虑了历史和历史记忆的空间性。就1979年伊朗革命,我们在多伦多对散居国外的伊朗人进行了七次口述历史采访,发现历史事件的叙述深受叙述者的地理位置的影响:革命时安置在不同地理位置的人不仅记得不同的事件,但也将不同的时间点与革命联系起来。例如,尽管那些在首都德黑兰纪念革命的人所做的叙述与官方对革命的历史记录密切一致(例如讲述街头抗议和1979年2月11日革命的高潮),其他人记得的事件和日期只是官方报道的次要内容(比如1978年8月19日雷克斯电影院的纵火案,或者1979年11月4日至1980年1月28日的人质危机)。换句话说,记忆的内容(叙述者记忆的内容)和它们的时间关联(叙述者回忆的日期)都受到记忆的具体地理的影响。因此,那些地理位置与官方历史中主要以资本为中心的有利位置不同的人,产生了与这些叙述不同的叙事。简言之,无论是权威的还是从地理边缘叙述的,地理和具体的安置都是历史叙述的核心。

Spatial Histories: Geography, Memory, and Alternative Narratives of the Iranian Revolution of 1979
Abstract In distinction from the overwhelming tendency to conceive history primarily in terms of its temporal chronologies, this paper considers the spatiality of history and historical memory. Engaging with seven Oral History interviews with diasporic Iranians in Toronto on the Iranian Revolution of 1979, we show that narratives of historical events are deeply shaped by the geographical location of narrators: those emplaced in differing geographical locations at the time of the Revolution not only remember disparate events, but also associate distinct temporal points with the Revolution. For instance, while those remembering the Revolution from the capital city of Tehran produce narratives that closely align with the official historiography of the Revolution (such as in recounting street protests and the culmination of the Revolution on February 11th, 1979), others remember events and dates that are only peripheral to official accounts (such as the arson at Cinema Rex on August 19th, 1978, or the hostage crisis that lasted from November 4th, 1979 to January 28th, 1980). In other words, both the content of memories (what narrators remember) and their temporal associations (which dates narrators recall) are informed by the embodied geography of memories. Hence, those whose geographical locations diverge from the largely capital-focused vantage point of official histographies produce narratives that diverge from these accounts. In short, geography and embodied emplacement are central to historical narrative, whether authoritative or narrated form geographical margins.
