Our specific focus is upon cities\u00a0whose histories are inextricably wound up with\u00a0imperial projects, past and present. This could include cities in colonial or metropolitan heartlands whose affluence,\u00a0landscapes, and built heritage\u00a0were shaped by colonialism and cities\u00a0in colonial peripheries\u00a0caught up in colonisation and bearing the stamp of colonial power, anti-colonial struggles, and decolonisation. \u00a0In part, we wish to examine how colonial heritages are valued in these city\u00a0landscapes in the context of neoliberal\u00a0mega-development projects and place branding.\u00a0 Cultural and historical critiques of city marketing have questioned the ways in which local histories are often appropriated, silenced, and sanitised as part of an attempt to rebrand and repackage cities for new \u2018consumers\u2019. With specific respect to the marketing of the postcolonial city and to neoliberal mega-development projects therein, we are keen to explore which stories are told, which not, who gets to decide, and what this all means for landscape preservation and heritage management.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maynoothuniversity.ie\/social-sciences-institute\/events\/decolonising-geographical-knowledges\">Further details here&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 August &#8211; 1 September 2017 London CFP \u201cVALUING HERITAGE IN THE POSTCOLONIAL CITY\u201d In this session, we wish to place under scrutiny\u00a0the contested values which undergird heritage and landscape\u00a0inventorising &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/?p=6106\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Decolonising Geographical Knowledges<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-event","category-ihbc-area-of-competence-all"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6106"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6107,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6106\/revisions\/6107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
