当代口述环境史的研究路径初探——以滇池口述环境史项目为例

A Preliminary Study on the Research Path of Contemporary Oral Environmental History:Taking Dianchi Lake as an Example

口述环境资料是当代环境史书写不容忽视的内容。口述环境史研究作为一种实践型学术活动,运用环境史和口述史的理论与方法,挖掘和搜集“活态”的口述资料和历史事实,关注公众群体与公共环境空间、公共环境事件的复杂关系,对不同群体的环境认知和生态实践等进行比较研究,为当代环境史研究的叙事转型和生态工程的可持续发展提供历史经验和群众智慧。以此为目标,滇池口述环境史研究对口述、图像、实物、文献等资料的搜集、整理、保存和使用过程中的“规范性”实践路径,以及对研究对象的搜寻路径、项目管理路径等,不仅呈现专题研究中“动态的图景式”环境变迁过程,亦可展现广大公众对区域环境变迁的感官体验和叙述方式,有助于拓展和深化口述环境史的专题研究。

Oral environmental data is an important content in contemporary environmental history recording.As a practical academic activity,the study of oral environmental history uses the theories and methods of environmental history and oral history to excavate and collect“living”oral data and historical facts.At the same time,the complex relationship among public groups,public environmental space and public environmental events is discussed,and the environmental cognition and ecological practice of different groups are comparatively studied,so as to provide historical experience and crowd wisdom for the narrative transformation of contemporary environmental history research and the sustainable development of ecological engineering.With this as the goal,the Dianchi oral environmental history research focuses on the“normative”practice path in the process of collection,arrangement,preservation and use of oral data,image data,physical data and written data,as well as the search path for research objects and project management path.It not only presents the“dynamic picture”process of environmental change in the thematic study,but also shows the sensory experience and narrative mode of the general public on regional environmental change,which is helpful to expand and deepen the thematic study of oral environmental history.
