This course takes a comparative approach to the cultural history of colonialism, focusing on the memory and transnational legacies of ‘modern’ overseas empires. We will consider the extent to which colonialism has become part of both tangible and intangible cultural heritage in both former colony and metropole, and to what degree a master narrative of colonialism has been formed and/or challenged over the years. Topics to be explored include colonial nostalgia, family narratives of colonialism, colonial aphasia and entangled memories of colonial violence and genocide. We will also be considering the impact of these issues on contemporary discussions on migration, citizenship and reparations politics in Europe.
