Performing Independence in Puducherry: Commemorative Public Holidays and Postcolonial Imaginaries in the Former French India
When India gained independence in 1947, its Independence Day ceremonies became a prototype setting the standard for marking and ritualising imperial withdrawal and achievement of sovereignty in former colonies across the world. Since then, much has been written on the cultural, social and political significances of the annually recurrent celebration of the postcolonial world’s many Independence Days. If India has featured prominently in theorisin…
Out through the door and in through the window: Positioning colonial nostalgia for French India in Puducherry
The former French India has held a distinctive place in metropolitan French discourses and sentiments of colonial nostalgia which have been subject to sustained analysis. French India is thus part of a larger body of research exploring colonial nostalgia both as a general phenomenon and in a specific regional context. However, the corresponding imaginaries in what after its decolonization became the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry have remai…

The South Indian town of Tranquebar, a Danish trading colony in the period 1620–1845, has been declared a heritage town by the government of Tamil Nadu, due to the wellpreserved Indo-Danish townscape and its tourism potential.

Indfødte folk og humant materiale på museum – en voksende etisk og museumspolitisk debat. En repatrieringssag fra Danmarks Nationalmuseum
Tilstedeværelsen af humant materiale i museale samlinger og udstillinger er i stigende grad blevet problematiseret inden for de sidste årtier, særligt i forhold til indfødte folk som New Zealands maorier. Stadig flere krav på repatriering af sådant materiale fremsættes kloden over, og også skandinaviske museer såsom Danmarks Nationalmuseum har på anmodning tilbagesendt humant materiale af maori oprindelse til new zealandske institutioner. Repatri…
