  • 1 the Anatomy of Memory Politics: a Formalist Analysis of Tate Britain's
    The Anatomy of Memory Politics: A Formalist Analysis of Tate Britain’s ‘Artist and Empire’ and the Struggle over Britain’s Imperial Past Eric Taylor Woods, 2019 Abstract In this paper, I propose a new approach for understanding the meaning of memory politics, which draws upon the archetypal literary criticism of Northrop Frye. I suggest that the four archetypes elaborated by Frye – comedy, romance, tragedy, and satire – can be used as a heuristic device for interpreting the contested historical narratives that are associated with the politics of memory. I illustrate this approach through a case-study of ‘Artists and Empire: Facing Britain’s Imperial Past’, an exhibition held at Tate Britain in 2016, amidst increasing contestation over the meaning of the British Empire. In sum, I find that the exhibit narrated Britain’s imperial past as a comedy, in which a key theme was the progressive cultural mixing of the British and the people they colonized. To conclude, I discuss the implications of such a narrative for constructing an inclusive, postcolonial British identity. As an alternative, I draw on Aristotle to suggest that a tragic narrative would have been more propitious. Key Words: collective memory; formalism; Northrop Frye; British Empire; national identity; Tate Britain Introduction The past is very much in the present. From slavery in the United States to the "Nanjing Massacre" in China, around the world, struggles over the meaning of the past – the politics of memory – have become increasingly salient. I propose a new approach for understanding this phenomenon, which draws upon the archetypal literary criticism of Northrop Frye (1957).

  • Curating Soldier Art Holly Furneaux*, Sue Prichard**
    Museum & Society, 13 (4) 447 Contested Objects: Curating Soldier Art Holly Furneaux*, Sue Prichard** ‘all of six years on and off to make the quilt from different uniforms, more than a few pieces from poor fellows that fought hard for their country and fell in the struggle.’ Joseph Rawdon, British soldier in India, 1872 Letter to Mr Bootland of Bradford, quoted by Rae and Tucker 1995: 177. Abstract Joseph Rawdon’s account of his making of a military quilt incorporates an emotional object biography of a kind typically attached to this kind of material. He recalls the long period of production, an investment of physical and emotional labour of a different, but related, order to the effort of his dead colleagues, those ‘poor fellows that fought hard for their country and fell in the struggle’, and whose then surplus uniforms contribute to the fabric of the patchwork. In this co-authored article we draw upon objects like that produced by Rawdon, and the narratives that accompany them, to explore the value and challenges of curating objects produced by soldiers in wartime. Focusing on patchwork produced by Victorian military men, we seek to extend the understanding of trench art, in terms of chronology and form. Existing work on trench art has been almost exclusively directed to the First World War, with a particular emphasis on objects made from weaponry and ammunition, such as shell casing vases. Nicholas Saunders, the leading scholar in this field, gives the following definition: ‘Any object made by soldiers, prisoners of war and civilians, from war material or any other material as long as object and maker are associated in time and space with armed conflict or its consequences’ (2002: 4).

Introduction and overview 1.1. Introduction The Department of Research in 2011 has continued to develop IWM’s longer-term strategies for Research under the guidance of the Research Board. These are still early days, but it is gratifying to note success across a number of fronts. The Department encourages the development of subject expertise across IWM, and fosters the expansion of collections-based research both by IWM staff and by external investigators. A new Research Associates scheme has been successfully launched, and all four of the Collaborative Doctorate Awards applications to the AHRC with which IWM was associated were successful. Eleven IWM staff members have reported 21 publications during the year, with several also making media appearances. 17 staff have given talks and papers, and the Department was represented at various conferences, including the Australian War Memorial’s conference Korea: In from the Cold, a colloquium at the Mémorial de Caen on representations of D Day and a further Federation of International Human Rights Museums (FIHRM) conference at the Museum of Slavery in Liverpool. A very successful ‘Voices of the First World War’ podcast series and an IWM Research Blog have been launched. The Department maintains partnerships and links with universities and other key external relationships, with outcomes including the successful seminar series, Reappraising the First World War, organised in partnership with King’s College London and Queen Mary University of London.
