Abstract

"This book reveals the 'Epistemic Imposition' of architectural ideas and practices by colonists from the Netherlands in the Dutch East Indies from the late-19th century onwards, exploring the ways in which this came to shape the profession up to the present day in what is now known as Indonesia. The author investigates the scope of these interventions by Dutch colonial agents in relation to existing Javanese building practices, pursuing two main lines of enquiry. The first is to examine the methods of dissemination of Dutch-taught technical knowledge and skills across the Dutch East Indies. The second is to scrutinise the effects of this dissemination upon the formation of architectural knowledge and practice within the colony. Throughout this book, the argument is made that what took place in architecture in the Dutch East Indies involved a process of disseminating building knowledge as a form of 'epistemic imposition' upon the indigenous citizens of the colony - in other words, as an effective instrument of Dutch colonial power. This book will be of interest to architecture academics and students interested in developing a broader global understanding of architecture, especially those interested in decolonising the teaching of architectural history and theory"

Abstract

The author surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering Orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation. He traces his view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experience as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, the author examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism. -- from http://trove.nla.gov.au (Sep. 16, 2011).

Abstract

Doorheen de geschiedenis heeft de visie op de kunsteducatie verschillende gedaanteverwisselingen ondergaan: volksverheffend ten tijde van de Verlichting, bevoogdend op het eind van de 19e eeuw, emancipatorisch in de jaren zeventig, utilitair in de jaren tachtig, tot het huidig postmodernisme, waarbij geen eenduidige waarheid vooropstaat. Het eerste deel van het boek gaat hier uitvoerig op in. Binnen deze verschuivingen tekenen er zich steeds twee spanningsvelden af: leefwereld versus systeem, beheersing versus emancipatie. Kunsteducatieve vormingsprocessen bewegen zich in het spanningsveld van leefwereld en systeem: Tegelijkertijd balanceren zij tussen beheersing en emancipatie, waarbij het begrip emancipatie soms beheersende vormen dreigt aan te nemen. De kunsteducatieve organisatie De Veerman werkt vanuit een overkoepelende visie op kunsteducatie. Eén van de kunsteducatieve programma's die deze organisatie mee begeleidt, zijn de Muzische Klassen. Aan de hand van een casstudy van dit programma kunnen we besluiten dat in de kunsteducatieve praktijk van vandaag het communnicatief handelen hoog in het vaandel wordt gedragen. Daarnaast focust men zich in deze case volledig op emancipatie en wil men de deelnemers aansporen tot het stellen van kritische vragen bij gegeven antwoorden. Deze case wordt dan ook bekeken vanuit de theorie en de evoluties in het denken en handelen vanuit kunsteducatief oogpunt.
