The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restitution As we walk through the hallowed halls of any European museum today, we are met with a carefully curated selection of spoils from Empire. Behind plate glass and tasteful lighting, we find objects dignified with names, dates, and places of origin. But these objects do not tell the whole story. Few artifacts embody the history of rapacious and extractive colonialism better than the Benin Bronzes - thousands of brass plaques and carved ivory tusks that depict the history of the Royal Court of Benin City, Nigeria. Pillaged during a British naval attack in 1897, these treasures were passed on to Queen Victoria and countless private collections, their origins obscured and forgotten. In The Brutish Museums, Dan Hicks makes a compelling case for the urgent return of such objects as part of a wider project of addressing the outstanding debt of colonialism and its legacy of violence. The book delves into the history of the Benin Bronzes, from their creation in the court of the Obas of Benin to their plunder by British forces, and explores the ongoing impact of this violent appropriation on contemporary society.
The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restitution Проходя сегодня по священным залам любого европейского музея, мы встречаемся с тщательно подобранным выбором добычи из Империи. За пластинчатым стеклом и вкусным освещением мы находим предметы, достойные имен, дат и мест происхождения. Но эти объекты не рассказывают всей истории. Немногие артефакты воплощают историю хищного и экстрактивного колониализма лучше, чем Бронзы Бенина - тысячи латунных бляшек и резных бивней из слоновой кости, которые изображают историю Королевского двора Бенин-Сити, Нигерия. Эти сокровища, разграбленные во время нападения британского флота в 1897 году, были переданы королеве Виктории и бесчисленным частным коллекциям, их происхождение скрыто и забыто. В The Brutish Museums Дэн Хикс приводит убедительные аргументы в пользу срочного возвращения таких объектов в рамках более широкого проекта по решению проблемы непогашенного долга колониализма и его наследия насилия. Книга углубляется в историю бенинских бронз, от их создания при дворе обов Бенина до их разграбления британскими войсками, и исследует продолжающееся влияние этого насильственного присвоения на современное общество.
The British Museums : The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restauration En passant aujourd'hui par les salles sacrées de n'importe quel musée européen, nous rencontrons une sélection soigneusement choisie de proies de l'Empire. Derrière le verre à plaques et l'éclairage délicieux, nous trouvons des objets dignes de noms, de dates et de lieux d'origine. Mais ces objets ne racontent pas toute l'histoire. Peu d'artefacts incarnent mieux l'histoire du colonialisme prédateur et extractif que le Bronze du Bénin - des milliers de plaques de laiton et de défenses d'ivoire sculptées qui représentent l'histoire de la Cour royale de Bénin City, au Nigeria. Ces trésors, pillés lors de l'attaque de la marine britannique en 1897, furent remis à la reine Victoria et à d'innombrables collections privées, leurs origines cachées et oubliées. Dans The British Museums, Dan Hicks donne des arguments convaincants en faveur de la restitution urgente de ces sites dans le cadre d'un projet plus large visant à résoudre le problème de la dette non réglée du colonialisme et de son héritage de violence. livre explore l'histoire des bronzes béninois, depuis leur création à la cour de l'Obs du Bénin jusqu'à leur pillage par les troupes britanniques, et explore l'impact continu de cette appropriation forcée sur la société moderne.
The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restitution Al pasar hoy por las salas sagradas de cualquier museo europeo, nos encontramos con una selección cuidadosamente seleccionada de presas del Imperio. Detrás del cristal de placa y la deliciosa iluminación encontramos objetos dignos de nombres, fechas y lugares de origen. Pero estos objetos no cuentan toda la historia. Pocos artefactos encarnan mejor la historia del colonialismo depredador y extractivo que el Bronce de Benín - miles de placas de latón y colmillos de marfil tallados que representan la historia de la Corte Real de Benin City, Nigeria. Estos tesoros, saqueados durante un ataque de la flota británica en 1897, fueron entregados a la reina Victoria y a innumerables colecciones privadas, sus orígenes ocultos y olvidados. En The Brutish Museums, Dan Hicks da argumentos convincentes para la devolución urgente de dichos sitios como parte de un proyecto más amplio para abordar la deuda pendiente del colonialismo y su legado de violencia. libro profundiza en la historia de los bronces benineses, desde su creación en la corte de los obs de Benín hasta su saqueo por las tropas británicas, y explora la influencia continua de esta apropiación violenta en la sociedad moderna.
The Brutish Museoms: The Benin Bronzes, Violência Colonial, e Restrição Cultural passando hoje pelas salas sagradas de qualquer museu europeu, encontramo-nos com uma seleção cuidadosamente escolhida de saques do Império. Atrás do vidro de placa e da iluminação deliciosa, encontramos objetos dignos de nomes, datas e locais de origem. Mas estes objetos não contam toda a história. Poucos artefatos encarnam uma história de colonialismo predatório e extracampo melhor do que os Bronzes do Benin - milhares de placas de latão e bicos de marfim que retratam a história da Corte Real de Benin City, na Nigéria. Esses tesouros, saqueados durante o ataque da marinha britânica em 1897, foram entregues à rainha Vitória e a incontáveis coleções privadas, suas origens escondidas e esquecidas. No «The Brutish Museuns», Dan Hicks apresenta argumentos convincentes a favor do retorno urgente de tais instalações como parte de um projeto mais amplo para lidar com a dívida pendente do colonialismo e sua herança de violência. O livro aprofundou-se na história dos bronzes benineses, desde a sua criação na Corte dos Obs do Benim até o seu saqueamento pelas forças britânicas, e explora o impacto contínuo desta apropriação forçada na sociedade moderna.
The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronze, Colonial Violence, and Culture Restition Passando oggi nelle sale sacre di qualsiasi museo europeo, incontriamo una scelta accurata delle prede dell'Impero. Dietro i finestrini e le luci deliziose troviamo oggetti degni di nomi, date e luoghi d'origine. Ma questi oggetti non raccontano tutta la storia. Pochi manufatti incarnano la storia del colonialismo predatorio e estrattivo meglio dei Bronzi del Benin, migliaia di placche in ottone e bivio d'avorio che rappresentano la storia della corte reale di Benin City, in Nigeria. Questi tesori, saccheggiati durante l'attacco della marina britannica nel 1897, sono stati consegnati alla regina Vittoria e ad innumerevoli collezioni private, le loro origini nascoste e dimenticate. In The Brutish Museums, Dan Hicks ha argomentato in modo convincente il ritorno urgente di tali siti come parte di un progetto più ampio per affrontare il debito del colonialismo e il suo patrimonio di violenza. Il libro si approfondisce nella storia dei bronzi beninesi, dalla loro creazione alla corte dei Benin fino al loro saccheggio da parte delle truppe britanniche, e esplora l'influenza continua di questa appropriazione forzata sulla società moderna.
The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restitution Wenn wir heute durch die heiligen Hallen eines jeden europäischen Museums gehen, treffen wir auf eine sorgfältig ausgewählte Auswahl an Beute aus dem Imperium. Hinter Plattenglas und köstlicher Beleuchtung finden wir Objekte, die Namen, Daten und Herkunftsorten würdig sind. Aber diese Objekte erzählen nicht die ganze Geschichte. Nur wenige Artefakte verkörpern die Geschichte des räuberischen und extraktiven Kolonialismus besser als die Bronzen von Benin - Tausende von Messingplaques und geschnitzten Elfenbeinstoßzähnen, die die Geschichte des königlichen Hofes von Benin City, Nigeria, darstellen. Diese Schätze, die während des britischen Flottenangriffs 1897 geplündert wurden, wurden Königin Victoria und unzähligen privaten Sammlungen übergeben, ihre Herkunft ist verborgen und vergessen. In The Brutish Museums liefert Dan Hicks überzeugende Argumente für die dringende Rückgabe solcher Objekte als Teil eines umfassenderen Projekts, um die ausstehenden Schulden des Kolonialismus und sein Erbe der Gewalt anzugehen. Das Buch geht tief in die Geschichte der Benin-Bronzen ein, von ihrer Entstehung am Hof des Benin-Obus bis zu ihrer Plünderung durch britische Truppen, und untersucht die anhaltenden Auswirkungen dieser gewaltsamen Aneignung auf die moderne Gesellschaft.

The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restoration Bugün herhangi bir Avrupa müzesinin kutsal salonlarında yürürken, İmparatorluktan özenle seçilmiş bir ganimet seçkisiyle karşılaşıyoruz. Plaka camının ve lezzetli aydınlatmanın arkasında, isimlere, tarihlere ve menşe yerlerine layık ürünler buluyoruz. Ancak bu nesneler tüm hikayeyi anlatmaz. Çok az eser, yağmacı ve sömürücü sömürgeciliğin tarihini Benin Bronzlarından daha iyi somutlaştırıyor - Nijerya'daki Benin Şehri Kraliyet Mahkemesi'nin tarihini tasvir eden binlerce pirinç plak ve oyulmuş fildişi fildişi. 1897'de İngiliz donanmasının saldırısı sırasında yağmalanan bu hazineler Kraliçe Victoria'ya ve sayısız özel koleksiyona verildi, kökenleri gizlendi ve unutuldu. The Brutish Museums'da Dan Hicks, sömürgeciliğin ödenmemiş borcunu ve şiddet mirasını ele almak için daha geniş bir projenin parçası olarak bu tür sitelerin acilen geri dönmesi için zorlayıcı bir durum ortaya koyuyor. Kitap, Benin bronzlarının tarihini, Benin Obes mahkemesinde yaratılmalarından İngiliz birlikleri tarafından yağmalanmalarına kadar inceliyor ve bu şiddetli ödeneğin modern toplum üzerindeki etkisini araştırıyor.
The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restoration بينما نسير في القاعات المقدسة لأي متحف أوروبي اليوم، نواجه مجموعة منسقة بعناية من المسروقات من الإمبراطورية. خلف زجاج اللوحة والإضاءة اللذيذة، نجد أشياء تستحق الأسماء والتواريخ وأماكن المنشأ. لكن هذه الأشياء لا تحكي القصة بأكملها. قلة من القطع الأثرية تجسد تاريخ الاستعمار المفترس والاستخراجي أفضل من برونز بنين - آلاف اللوحات النحاسية والأنياب العاجية المنحوتة التي تصور تاريخ البلاط الملكي لمدينة بنين، نيجيريا. تم نهب هذه الكنوز خلال هجوم شنته البحرية البريطانية في عام 1897، وتم منحها للملكة فيكتوريا ومجموعات خاصة لا حصر لها، وأصولها مخفية ومنسية. في The Brutish Museums، يقدم دان هيكس حجة مقنعة للعودة العاجلة لمثل هذه المواقع كجزء من مشروع أوسع لمعالجة الديون المستحقة للاستعمار وإرثه من العنف. يتعمق الكتاب في تاريخ برونز بنين، من إنشائها في بلاط أوبيس بنين إلى نهبها من قبل القوات البريطانية، ويستكشف التأثير المستمر لهذا الاستيلاء العنيف على المجتمع الحديث.
