米兰体育官网 众筹活动支持的描绘苏格兰议会历史的图画小说

一项支持创作一部讲述苏格兰议会故事的图画小说的众筹活动已经启动。

The苏格兰政治档案馆milan米兰体育正在牵头筹集资金来创作这本书。

苏格兰议会：生动的历史将以简单易懂的语言，通过丰富生动的艺术作品，阐述苏格兰议会的真正运作方式。

1999 年，苏格兰议会在阔别三百年后重新召开。 Since then, the Scottish Parliament has been responsible for designing, deciding and introducing laws across an ever-growing range of areas, from agriculture to welfare.

These laws directly affect the lives of millions of people living in Scotland, all of whom have a stake in understanding how their representatives act on their behalf.

英国政治和政策制定讲师艾米丽·圣丹尼 (Emily St Denny) 博士（特别关注苏格兰和威尔士的权力下放）表示：“我们对苏格兰议会充满热情 - 它的历史、它的建筑、它的运作方式、在其中工作的人员以及它如何随着时间的推移而发生变化。我们之所以想出这本书的想法，是因为我们厌倦了只用冗长的学术文章来描述议会 书籍，并希望以一种引人入胜且易于理解的方式与非专家分享我们对荷里路德的迷恋。”

Dr Peter Lynch, Senior Lecturer in Scottish and European Politics at Stirling, said: “Because the story of the Scottish Parliament and how it works is as dynamic as it is fascinating, we believe it is best told using eye-catching graphic images.

“We are committed to giving it the best look and feel we can and are working with Jules Scheele, a freelance illustrator, comics artist and graphic facilitator based in Glasgow. Jules will create original artwork responding to the story of the Parliament and the visual material held in the archive.”

活动

通过利用苏格兰政治档案馆在苏格兰议会运动（及之后）中收集的大量文件和文物，这本书将揭示苏格兰的当代政治遗产并将其带入生活。这本书将融合艺术和信息，包括稀有档案照片和竞选材料的复制品。 

milan米兰体育官网苏格兰政治档案馆的档案管理员 Sarah Bromage 说道：“我们热衷于让尽可能多的人了解档案馆的馆藏。我工作生涯的大部分时间都在翻阅政治传单和蜉蝣，我很高兴以这种令人兴奋和创新的方式展示这些馆藏。”

这本书将三个主题编织在一起：

1. 通往荷里路德之路：利用苏格兰议会运动参与者的档案材料和口述历史，本书将回顾苏格兰议会是如何（重新）建立的。它将向读者介绍苏格兰人民及其选出的代表对这个新机构的早期希望和期望。
2. How the Parliament works: drawing on the authors’ research expertise, the book will present an evidence-based account of how Scottish parliamentary democracy works, and how laws and policies are made in Scotland. It will introduce readers to the Parliament’s committee system, to the day-to-day life of Members of the Scottish Parliament, and to the mechanisms that citizens have at their disposal to influence their Parliament’s work. In doing so, it will present a balanced view of what has worked well and what perhaps needs to change to meet the changing needs of Scottish communities.
3. How the Parliament has evolved: the book will present an accessible overview of parliamentary reform, by revisiting and explaining how the processes and functions of the Scottish Parliament have changed over the last decade. Featuring the voices of those who worked to reintroduce a Parliament in Scotland, as well as that of the people who have worked within it, it will invite readers to reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing the Scottish Parliament going forward.

筹集的资金将用于支付这本书的制作成本。这些是插图和设计工作以及完成的图画小说的印刷。该书的副本将免费分发给苏格兰所有中学和公共图书馆。
