Abstract This article takes stock of the field of memory studies and where it has moved since the Arab uprisings. If the 1990s marked the first interest in memory studies, the 2000s opened the floodgates to a variety of approaches and localities. The aim is not to present a complete catalogue of memory studies in the Middle East, but rather to highlight some of the trends and patterns in the field and its development over time. It does so both by discussing key works and by focusing on an examination of memory studies about contemporary Lebanon. The article argues that memory studies in the 1990s drew on a particular understanding of transition that came to an abrupt end with the Arab Uprisings. 2011 marked a turning point both in the way the uprisings made scholars question the national framework previously privileged, and by stoking an interest in memories and histories of revolts other than those connected to the anti-colonial struggle. The latest wave of memory studies investigates the uses of online archives and the archive as metaphor for how storage functions for human memory, introducing new methodologies and theoretical directions.

中东的记忆研究:我们来自哪里,我们要去哪里?

摘要本文概述了记忆研究领域及其自阿拉伯起义以来的发展趋势。如果1990年代标志着对记忆研究的最初兴趣,则2000年代为各种途径和地区打开了闸门。目的不是提供完整的中东记忆研究目录,而是强调该领域的一些趋势和模式及其随着时间的发展。它通过讨论关键著作和侧重于对当代黎巴嫩的记忆研究进行审查。该文章认为,1990年代的记忆研究是基于对过渡的一种特殊理解,这种理解随着阿拉伯起义突然结束。2011年标志着起义使学者们质疑以前享有特权的国家框架的方式的转折点,并引起人们对起义的记忆和历史的兴趣,而不是与反殖民斗争有关的历史。最新的记忆研究热潮调查了在线档案的用途,并将档案作为隐喻来说明人类记忆的存储功能,并介绍了新的方法论和理论指导。
