Projecting the Nanjing Massacre
This article explores the use of persuasion in the case of the People’s Republic of China’s listing of documents surrounding the Nanjing Massacre into UNESCO ’s Memory of the World register. Through the application of Kenneth Burke’s rhetorical framework, it conceptualises the case as an instance of division and identification in multilateral diplomacy and positions it as a continuation of the debates over history, memory and legitimacy between C…
The Institutionalisation of Heritage Protection and the (de)Legitimisation of War
This article analyses the process leading to the institutionalization of the link between cultural heritage and warfare within the UNESCO system, culminating in the Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict in 1954. I approach UNESCO through its aspirations to alter the procedures of international order, and address the normative formulation of the organization’s heritage protection agenda as an emergi…

It proposes the discursive construction of cosmopolitan internationalism as a framework for analysing the intersections of difference, located in the practicalities of internationalism, and diversity, tied to the idea…

The aim of the catalogue was to familiarise Western audiences with Eastern cultures through cinema. The catalogue lists seven general characteristics of Eastern cinema to distinguish it from its Western counterpart and to provide ready-made interpretations of the essential chara…
