ABSTRACT This article analyses the production of prospective memories in the 2012 BBC documentary A Jubilee Tribute to The Queen by The Prince of Wales. The contemporary British monarchy relies heavily on memory products in order to connect to their subjects and to secure their popularity. This entails the production not only of memories of the past, but also of memories for the future, i.e. prospective memories. One way to fashion opportunities for the creation of prospective memories is by sharing private recollections in the form of (royal) family photographs and films. These media were once located in the family’s private archive, but through forms such as documentaries commissioned by members of the royal family they were able to travel into the public sphere. Through commodification, these formerly exclusive small-scale memories reach vast audiences, who engage with them and might form new memories of their own. While cultural memory studies still tends to favour research on traumatic events and the actualisation of memories of the past, this case study demonstrates that a focus on positive events and on memories’ prospective side opens up rich and fruitful research avenues.

从私人到公共：威尔士亲王（The Prince）威尔士亲王（The Prince）的《禧禧致敬》中，王室家族的记忆作为未来的集体记忆

摘要本文分析了威尔士亲王在2012年英国广播公司（BBC）纪录片《女王的禧年进贡》中的前瞻性记忆的产生。当代英国君主制在很大程度上依赖于记忆产品来连接其主题并确保其受欢迎度。这不仅需要产生过去的记忆，还需要产生对未来的记忆，即预期的记忆。创造机会以创造前瞻性回忆的一种方式是，以（皇家）家庭照片和电影的形式分享私人回忆。这些媒体曾经位于该家族的私人档案馆中，但是通过诸如由王室成员委托的纪录片之类的形式，他们得以进入公共领域。通过商品化，这些以前专属的小规模记忆吸引了众多观众，他们与之互动，并可能形成自己的新记忆。尽管文化记忆研究仍然倾向于对创伤事件和过去记忆的实现进行研究，但本案例研究表明，关注积极事件和记忆的前瞻性方面开辟了丰富而富有成果的研究途径。
