“…Skultans (1998: 83) and Heatherington (1999: 323), respectively, made the same observation in relation to Latvia and Sardinia. It is not purely coincidence that images of the past often evoke community resistance to external authority.…”

Natural Time, Political Time: Contested Histories in Northern Italy

This article explores the ways in which a post‐peasant society in the Trentino region of northern Italy reworked its past history at a time of political turmoil when the rise of regionalist parties with an Italian version of Thatcherism in their agenda challenged the legitimacy of the Italian state. It illustrates how making a regional, local history entails representing the past as a period characterized by the repetitiveness of events. It is argued that everyday accounts of the past, because they centre on the ideas of social and political order and private property, form the background against which ‘official’ politics is understood. In this sense, everyday local‐level discourses about the past are as political as the ‘official’ ones of party leaders. In making this argument, the article shows that ‘repetitive time’ also represents a device through which social actors place themselves outside ‘national history’ and cast the encompassing nation‐state as the outsider.

“…On the border between Jordan and Israel, tour guides emphasized violence, contradicting the 'peace' initiative which the former warzone was meant to promote (Gelbman & Maoz, 2012). Contested sites are where tour guides define ethnic hierarchy -such as in the Philippines (Richter, 1980), Italy (Heatherington, 1999), and Madagascar (Lambek, 2006).…”

“…(Massey 1995: 188). The 'place' called Matonge emerging here is very much the place in which Heatherington (1999) after de Certeau (1984 saw: "the capacity […] to naturalize existing social relations and the ability of people to carve out spaces and moments of cultural engagement in which those relations could be recast and recontextualized." (Heatherington 1999: 316).…”

Mediating Matonge: Relocations of Belgian Postcoloniality in Four Films

In this paper I look at the Matonge neighbourhood of Brussels as a locus of postcolonial and diasporic imagination and activism by different groups and individuals most notably people who identify as Africans, Belgians with African roots, or ‘Black’ in Belgium. Within a longer historical narrative that starts in the late 19th century, I focus on the period beginning in the late 1980s when new migrational flows from Africa and other southern countries into Brussels make the Matonge quarter increasingly visible in an otherwise hesitantly globalizing Belgian/European metropolis. This issue is taken up by several filmmakers who, over the last thirty years, have situated their critiques of the Belgian postcolonial condition in ‘Matonge’. In this paper I briefly present four of these films in order to illustrate the ways in which ‘Matonge’ features in changing discourses concerning inequality, cultural affirmation, and diasporic activism.
