Re-sharing for the weekend crowd. The official link to our lovely #OpenAccess collection, 'Minoritised Languages and Travel' in the Modern Languages Open journal.
This is a collection of 5 essays + introduction that explore frictions between traveller and travelee as well as the inherent instability of social, cultural and language hierarchies.
#OnThisDay in #history - Germaine de Staël died in 1817 at age 51. A native of #France Germaine was the daughter of Jacques Necker. A budding intellectual from an early age, Germaine sat in on salons run by her mother and refused to marry someone who wasn't intellectually stimulating to her.
As an adult, she ran her own salons and published political treatises (seen as proton-feminist) and novels (which caused Napoleon to exile her from Paris). #histodons#OTD@histodons#writer#author
"HOW THE HINDU RIGHT-WING IN INDIA IS UNDERMINING MUSLIM IDENTITY THROUGH HERITAGE" by Maitri Dore.
"In service of the myth of a Hindu golden age, the Hindu right-wing is contorting historical facts and attempting to cleanse the built environment of Muslim heritage. Their meddlesomeness is proof of the pudding that heritage is more than simply brick and mortar. It is about the selection and use of these for political purposes. In this scheme then, architecture–by way of claims to mosques, and public space–through its renaming, are merely convenient props that hold up the cherry-picked narrative."
