| Zusammenfassung: | What were the distinctive cultures of decolonisation that emerged between 1945 and 1970? What can they tell us about the complexities of the 'end of empire' as a process? How did they reflect and influence the processes of dramatic geopolitical change wrought by the dismantling of European empires? Cultures of decolonisation combines studies of visual, literary and material cultures in order to explore the complexities of the ‘end of empire’ as a process. Where other accounts focus on high politics and constitutional reform, this volume reveals the diverse ways in which cultures contributed to wider political, economic and social change. This book demonstrates the transnational character of decolonisation, thereby illustrating the value of comparison – between different cultural forms and diverse places – in understanding the nature of this wide-reaching geopolitical change. Individual chapters focus on architecture, theatre, museums, heritage sites, fine art and interior design, alongside institutions such as artists’ groups, language agencies and the Royal Mint, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe. Offering a range of disciplinary perspectives, these contributions provide revealing case studies for those researching decolonisation across the humanities and social sciences |

Modern housing, expatriate practitioners and the Volta River Project in decolonising Ghana - Viviana d'Auria -- - 10. Designing change: coins and the creation of new national identities - Catherine Eagleton -- - 11. What colonial legacy? The Dewan Bahas dan Pustaka (House of Language) and Malaysia's cultural decolonisation - Rachel Leow -- Index What were the distinctive cultures of decolonisation that emerged between 1945 and 1970? What can they tell us about the complexities of the 'end of empire' as a process? How did they reflect and influence the processes of dramatic geopolitical change wrought by the dismantling of European empires? Cultures of decolonisation combines studies of visual, literary and material cultures in order to explore the complexities of the ‘end of empire’ as a process. Where other accounts focus on high politics and constitutional reform, this volume reveals the diverse ways in which cultures contributed to wider political, economic and social change. This book demonstrates the transnational character of decolonisation, thereby illustrating the value of comparison – between different cultural forms and diverse places – in understanding the nature of this wide-reaching geopolitical change. Individual chapters focus on architecture, theatre, museums, heritage sites, fine art and interior design, alongside institutions such as artists’ groups, language agencies and the Royal Mint, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe. Offering a range of disciplinary perspectives, these contributions provide revealing case studies for those researching decolonisation across the humanities and social sciences Geschichte 1945-1970 gnd rswk-swf Colonialism & Imperialism / bicssc HISTORY / Social History / bisach Colonialism & imperialism / Social & cultural history / thema Decolonization / Europe / History / 20th century Decolonization / History / 20th century Decolonization in literature Entkolonialisierung (DE-588)4070860-3 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift 2012 London gnd-content Entkolonialisierung (DE-588)4070860-3 s Geschichte 1945-1970 z DE-604 Craggs, Ruth 1982- (DE-588)1126606472 edt Wintle, Claire edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-7190-9652-5 (DE-604)BV043259101 https://doi.org/10.7765/9781784996864 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
