  • From Discordance to Assemblages: Renegotiating French and Portuguese Colonial Identities through Indian Tourism and Heritage Sites

    Diti Bhattacharya, R MasonARTICLESouth Asia Journal of South Asian…2023

    This article examines two cities of discordant colonial heritage in India—Chandernagore, a former French colony in West Bengal, and Panjim, a former Portuguese territory in Goa—to demonstrate how these cities experience their colonial identities through heritage spaces. It explores the ways in which the museums and public spaces of these cities use memory and materiality to perform discordant colonial pasts which differ from the dominant narrativ…

  • Difficult Politics and Poetics: Encountering "Truth" and Violence in Peruvian and Colombian Sites of Memory

    Laura Rodriguez Castro, R MasonARTICLEJournal of Iberian and Latin…2023

    Peru and Colombia are prominent cases within museological debates on memorializing conflict. Following extended armed conflicts and Peace Accords in the latter decades of the twentieth century (Peru: 1980–2000; Colombia 1964–2016), attention to the countries’ transitional justice periods and the creation of memory sites has been widespread. In this article, we focus on visits in 2017 and 2019 to the Lugar de la Memoria, la Tolerancia y la Inclusi…

  • Heritage from below in Latin America: Urban protests and the struggle for Human Rights

    Open AccessManuela Badilla Rajevic, Manuela Badilla et al.ARTICLEEuropean Review of Latin American…2022Cited by: 1

    After the end of Latin American dictatorships, scholars closely analyzed the relationship between violence, memory and democracy. But these societies have continued to grapple not only with the legacy of authoritarian governments but with centuries of colonial power, with the result that many of the assumptions of earlier scholars are now being revisited. Intersectional questions of race, indigeneity and gender continue to refashion our understan…

  • We fight for the memory of our children”: Political memory, favela heritage, and mothers of victims of state violence

    Open AccessMaria Eduarda Ota, R MasonARTICLEEuropean Review of Latin American…2022Cited by: 2References: 7

    There have been extensive studies of the struggles against Latin American military dictatorships of the 1960s and 1980s, especially regarding the activism of mothers of political activists who were disappeared. However there has been far less research about women’s continued struggle for memory, truth, and justice in contemporary Latin America. There has been even less consideration of how small-scale urban protesters use memory within urban cult…

  • Understanding the impact of Covid-19 on youth sport in Australia and consequences for future participation and retention

    Open AccessSam Elliott, Murray Drummond et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The findings provide valuable insight into the youth sport setting as a result of the global pandemic and suggest that families, sporting clubs and sporting organisations require additional resources and tools (for example, support for parents to facilitate their children's training at home during lockdown) to aid recovery efforts and to ensure the survival and prosperity of youth sport into the future

  • The Borders of Suffering: Violence, History and Sovereignty in Mexican Museums

    R MasonARTICLEJournal of Iberian and Latin…2021Cited by: 1

    Museums are at the center of national debate about the role of violence in constituting Mexican patriotism. Museum exhibitions contextualize and critique powerful national mythologies of victimhood, presenting them alongside narratives that eulogize the military and its mandate to protect the state and citizens. The article focuses on two key typologies of museum exhibitions relating to the border: historical museums of national becoming, and mus…

  • Discordant Colonialism: Museums and the Emergence of Indian Independence in the Former Territories of French and Portuguese India

    R Mason, Diti BhattacharyaARTICLEInternational Journal of Heritage…2021Cited by: 1References: 15

    In this article, we analyse Indian museum practices that pertain to the representation of the nation’s liberation and independence from colonial occupation. We draw specifically on a comparative analysis of museums in the former Portuguese and French territories of India. These territories remained colonies for a number of years after the British were forced from India, raising questions of how contemporary museums represent these alternative nar…

  • Cane farming and cultural difference: Catalan migration and land practices in early twentieth-century Queensland

    R Mason, Marc GibertARTICLEHistory Australia2020

    The article draws on labour and migration histories of the early twentieth century to demonstrate how migrants’ land use was modified in the process of moving from rural Catalonia to northern Queensland. Once in Australia, migrants were able to use sharecropping practices to negotiate Anglo-Saxon expectations of assimilation associated with cane farming. Using a detailed case study, the article demonstrates the interconnected systems of migration…

  • The Cinco de Mayo: Death, Democracy, and Resistance in Mexican Museums

    Open AccessR MasonARTICLEMuseum and Society2019Cited by: 1

    On May 5th, 1862, heavily outnumbered Mexican troops succeeded in defeating the invading French army at the Battle of Puebla. The battle did little to change the war's outcome, but became a powerful symbol of Mexican national unity that helped to make sense of the violence of the previous decades. Celebrations to commemorate the Cinco de Mayo began almost as soon as the battle had ended, and have since evolved in Puebla to become one of the city'…

    Residential gardens have been understudied as spaces for community building, health, housing improvement, and environmental justice. While research in the environmental justice and food justice literatures have focused primarily on community gardens, there continues to be a dearth of research and understanding of the benefits and potential challenges of home gardens, for individuals, families, and communities. This community based research projec…

  • Japan’s Evolving Civic Environmentalism

    R Mason, Robert J MasonCHAPTEROccupy the Earth2014

    Japan’s civic environmentalism combines a tradition of local protest and activism with a national environmental movement that is limited in size and policy influence. A strong legislative and administrative response to the country’s severe pollution crisis of the 1960s and 1970s helped tamp down that era’s wave of protests and keep the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in power. While the state has generally supported local organizations engaged in …

  • Suburbanization and Sustainability in Metropolitan Moscow

    Open AccessR Mason, Robert J Mason et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review2011Cited by: 13References: 24

    Although Soviet-era urban-growth controls produced relatively sustainable metropolitan development patterns, low-density suburban sprawl has accelerated markedly in modern Russia. Distinctive features of Moscow's development history are its greenbelt, which dates from 1935 and is becoming increasingly fragmented, proliferation of satellite cities at the urban fringe, conversion of seasonal dachas into full-time residences, the very exclusive Rubl…

  • Australian Multiculturalism: Revisiting Australia’s Political Heritage and the Migrant Presence

    Open AccessR MasonARTICLEHistory Compass2010Cited by: 1References: 7

    Australian multiculturalism has become central to the nation’s political landscape, yet historians have rarely considered the impact of government policies on migrants’ pre‐existing political identities. Multiculturalism became government policy in 1973, in recognition of the new complexity of Australian society that followed greatly increased post‐war immigration. The new policy sought to facilitate migrants’ inclusion in Australian society, wit…
