| Popis: | This chapter uses the founding of the Azem palace museum in 1953 in Damascus as a site to explore the transition to colonial ethnography to postcolonial self-representation. The authors argue that the museum was conceived as a statement of resistance against western colonialism, leading to a partial reimagining of the cultural categories developed by the French, from ‘compact minorities’ to ‘toponymical identities. |
