| description | How provenance research into colonial collections is linked to the history of colonialism. The extensive collections from colonial contexts held in German museums form a central theme in current debates on how to deal with the colonial legacy in Germany. Christian Jarling demonstrates how the appropriation of ethnographic objects from (German) South-West Africa served to construct and reproduce the distinction between colonial rulers and the colonised. In Bremen, the collection of Namibian objects began as early as the 1880s and continued well beyond the end of German colonial rule into the 1960s. In this regard, the museum was able to rely in particular on cooperation with German emigrants and settlers. Drawing on the origins of the collection, the author exemplarily links provenance research on collections from colonial contexts with the history of colonialism in Namibia. The focus here is not on the individual object, but on the structure behind the colonial process of appropriation. In this way, Jarling demonstrates how the categorisation and reinterpretation of objects, as well as the practising and consolidation of colonial imagery, were repeatedly re-established and perpetuated both in the museum and in the settler colony of South West Africa. |
