ABSTRACT

European famines and their legacies continue to play a significant role in heritage practices and societal debates. This calls for an examination of recent scholarship about these heritages of hunger, as well as the formulation of future directions that the relatively young field of famine heritage studies could explore. This article engages with ground-breaking scholarship about famines in Finland, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Ukraine and Russia in relation to museology, heritage policies, commemoration, education and monument creation. It analyses major topics and trends in famine heritage studies, and assesses how insights from this field engage with and contribute to issues that are at the heart of heritage studies in general: diasporic heritage, participation, in- and exclusion, globalisation, victimhood and trauma. This article maps out the state of the art in European famine heritage studies and, additionally, investigates what future directions famine heritage studies may take, and what questions require further exploration.

摘要

欧洲饥荒及其遗产继续在遗产实践和社会辩论中发挥重要作用。这需要对最近关于这些饥饿遗产的学术研究进行审查，以及制定相对年轻的饥荒遗产研究领域可以探索的未来方向。本文涉及有关芬兰、爱尔兰、苏格兰、瑞典、乌克兰和俄罗斯与博物馆学、遗产政策、纪念、教育和纪念碑创建有关的饥荒的开创性学术研究。它分析了饥荒遗产研究的主要主题和趋势，并评估了该领域的见解如何参与并促成一般遗产研究的核心问题：散居遗产、参与、融入和排斥、全球化、受害者和创伤.
