  • Maltese Colonial Identity: Latin Mediterranean Or British Empire?
    The British Colonial Experience 1800-1964 The Impact on Maltese Society Edited by Victor Mallia-Milanes 2?79G ~reva Publications Published under the auspices of The Free University: Institute of Cultural Anthropology! Sociology of Development Amsterdam 10 HENRY FRENDO Maltese Colonial Identity: Latin Mediterranean or British Empire? Influenced by history as much as by geography, identity changes, or develops, both as a cultural phenomenon and in relation to economic factors. Behaviouristic traits, of which one may not be conscious, assume a different reality in cross-cultural interaction and with the passing of time. The Maltese identity became, and is, more pronounced than that of other Mediterranean islanders from the Balearic to the Aegean. These latter spoke varieties of Spanish and Greek in much the same way as the inhabitants of the smaller islands of Pantalleria, Lampedusa, or Elba spoke Italian dialects and were absorbed by the neighbouring larger mainlands. The inhabitants of modern Malta, however, spoke a language derived from Arabic at the same time as they practised the Roman Catholic faith and were exposed, indeed subjected, to European iDfluences for six or seven centuries, without becoming integrated with their closest terra firma, Italy.l This was largely because of Malta's strategic location between southern Europe and North Mrica. An identifiable Maltese nationality was thus moulded by history, geography, and ethnic admixture - the Arabic of the Moors, corsairs, and slaves, together with accretions from several northern and southern European races - from Normans to Aragonese. Malta then passed under the Knights of St John, the French, and much more importantly, the British.

    HERITAGE MALTA (HM) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword 5 Capital Works 6 Exhibitions and Events 19 Collections and Research 23 Conservation 54 Education, Publications and Outreach 64 Other Corporate 69 Visitor Statistics 75 Appendix 1 – Calendar of Events 88 Appendix 2 – Purchase of Modern and Contemporary Artworks 98 Appendix 3 – Acquisition of Natural History Specimens 100 Appendix 4 – Purchase of Items for Gozo Museum 105 Appendix 5 – Acquisition of Cultural Heritage Items 106 Foreword 2020 has been a memorable year. For all the wrong reasons, some might argue. And they could be right on several levels. However, the year that has tested the soundness and solidity of cultural heritage institutions worldwide, has also proved to be an eye-opener and a valuable teacher, highlighting a wealth of resourcefulness that we might have otherwise remained unaware of. The COVID-19 pandemic was a direct challenge to Heritage Malta’s mission of accessibility, forcing the agency first to close its doors entirely to the public and later to restrict admissions and opening hours. However, the agency was proactive and foresighted enough to be able to adapt to its new scenario. We found ourselves in a situation where cultural heritage had to visit the public, and not vice versa. We were able to achieve this thanks to our continuous investment in technology and digitisation, which enabled us to make our heritage accessible to the public virtually. In this way, we facilitated alternative access to our sites while also launching our online shop, making it possible for our clients to buy the products usually found at our retail outlets in sites and museums.

  • Dominant Metaphor in Maltese Literature
    Abstract This study deals with the way Malta has been represented in poetry and narrative written in Maltese. Metaphor, with its ability to stretch language and thought beyond its elastic limit, has played a fundamental role in the forging of the national imaginary that lies at the junction between real history and literary texts. On one hand, the conventional conceptual metaphors of the mother, home, traveller, and village are rooted in conventional conceptions of the nation; on the other, the relocation of the motherland in the sea marks a return to and a reinterpretation of the figure of the mother. While conventional conceptual metaphors have the potential to structure the concept of the nation by imagining the unimagined, fresh conceptual metaphors simultaneously create and defy that new structure.

  • Emigration to North Africa
    5 Emigration to North Africa In the nineteenth century, increasing population in Malta became one of the chief problems besetting Maltese society. Malta was simply too miniscule to feed its teeming population and the solution of emigration began to be mooted.1 In those far-off days the destination of the Maltese was the Mediterranean coastlands both North and South. Overwhelmingly, Maltese migrants chose the Islamic lands where they could join the flood of European migrants who, in those colonial times, set their eyes on the opportunities offered by Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. The pattern of immigration increased or decreased as a response to economic conditions at home and in 1841, Algeria with 54% led the number of migrants who were afforded settlement within its borders, followed by Tunis with 17%, Egypt 15% and Tripoli with 2.5%. Other factors which affected immigration were plague, political events and religious intolerance. Preference for Algeria followed in the wake of the French occupation there, not the least being the role of Cardinal Lavigerie who proclaimed himself “le grand ami de Maltais”.2 Algeria was “Un territoire qui avait besoin de bras, un territoire qui assurait travail et protection.”3 Later in the century (1868) Egypt replaced Algeria as the prime destination for Maltese migrants as the Suez Canal shortened the route to India and the Far East drastically.4 Alexandria and Port Said became the homes of thousands of Maltese immigrants employed in the shipyards which ironically “had indirectly helped to bring Malta’s economic boom and trade monopoly to an end.”5 The Maltese migrants are described in contemporary journals as “known for their foul language and that the French in North Africa referred to them as swearers.”6 According to Herbert Ganado “in 1830 there were about 1,500 Maltese in Cairo.”7 Maltese emigration to Tripoli was considerable.8 In effect they had a stable existence there till 1911 when the Italians invaded this North African Turkish dominion.
