Subject: Re: Colonisers Conference



A one-day interdisciplinary conference at the University of Warwick

Rethinking the Colonisers

British Colonial Elites in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries

25th MAY 2002

For a booking form please go to:
http://www.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/HRC/conferences.html#BCE

Outline:
The conference will focus on British colonial elites: the administrators,
policy-makers, missionaries, settlers, and other groups and individuals,
whose actions and ideas contributed to the shaping of the colonial past.
Recent interest in the complexity of relations between colonisers and the
colonised has helped to call previous assumptions about both groups into
question. The result of this has been that the colonisers, who sought to
dominate and control vast empires and populations, are no longer seen as
having been a homogenous or unified group. Recent work suggests that
colonial regimes and discourses were, in fact, replete with competing
agendas and strategies and were characterised by fissure, doubt and failure
as well as by single-minded self-confidence and success.

The conference will consider British colonising elites of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries from these perspectives and will include papers on
areas of British colonisation in the Caribbean, South Africa, West Africa,
Australasia and India.

An international cast of speakers, with backgrounds in cultural studies,
history, geography, gender studies, international studies and literature,
will address the conference.

Sessions:
There will be a keynote address followed by three sessions:
1. Rethinking Colonial Administration and Administrators
2. The Caribbean
3. Conflicting Colonialist Discourses and Agendas

The conference will conclude with a general discussion of the main themes,
issues and problems emerging from the day.
