A closer look at colonial cultural heritage

Colonial cultural heritage (CCH) is at a crossroads grappling with transformative shifts in textbooks, public spaces, museums and cultural consumption, with manifold impacts on present-day intergroup relations of diverse socio-demographic groups. The need to understand how these groups are dealing with CCH changes could not be more timely, and that is the overarching goal of the EU-funded CONCILIARE project. CONCILIARE will adopt an interdisciplinary and multi-methodological approach across pivotal domains to reach a nuanced understanding of reactions to and representations of changes in CCH. Through small-scale pilot trials across European countries, CONCILIARE will also map evolving CCH whilst developing evidence-based methods to foster societal confidence amidst transformation.

Objective

OBJECTIVES: CONCILIARE centers on the ongoing changes in Colonial Cultural Heritage (CCH) with a threefold aim: 1) identifying and analyzing changes in CCH across four pivotal domains: textbooks, public spaces, museums and cultural consumption of products and traditions; 2) advancing knowledge on reactions to and representations of changes in CCH in the four domains held by diverse sociodemographics groups (ethnic, gender, generation, and cultural contexts); 3) propose four different methods – one per domain – to promote confidence in changes in CCH.
HOW THEY WILL BE ACHIEVED: To accomplish these objectives, CONCILIARE proposes an interdisciplinary (social sciences and humanities studies) and multi-methodological (small scale applied qualitative and quantitative) approach. Each domain will be covered by a specific work package (WP1-4) with methodologies linked to two axes: Axis 1 respecting to CCH: changes, reactions and representations and Axis 2 to promoting confidence in changes in CCH. Four small scale pilot trials will be carried out – one per domain – in different European countries to test the effectiveness (assumptions and applications) of the four proposed methods in fostering confidence in CCH changes across the diversity of Europe.
THEIR RELEVANCE TO THE WORK PROGRAMME: The accomplishment of these objectives will allow CONCILIARE to meet the two envisaged expected outcomes of contributing to a “deeper and broader understanding of the constantly changing nature of cultural heritage and of how this understanding can be effectively shared by citizens” and to the “the development of evidence-based methods, tested in small scale, to help citizens face current and future societal transformations with greater confidence”.
