Abstract

ABSTRACT Poole’s essay explores a number of historical precedents for today’s debates concerning statuary memorialization. Early-nineteenth-century radicals shared many of the same discussions and tactics that feature in modern controversies over memorial statuary, especially concerning ways of countering the triumphalism and elitism of commemorative projects. The difficulties associated in particular with memorializing progressive causes and subaltern heroes produced responses as varied and unsatisfactory in the nineteenth century as they do today, just as the need to generate and maintain commemorative consensus often produces anodyne and uninspiring memorials.

“盲目崇拜英雄的本能”:英国激进民主派与纪念问题

期刊介绍： Patterns of Prejudice provides a forum for exploring the historical roots and contemporary varieties of social exclusion and the demonization or stigmatisation of the Other. It probes the language and construction of "race", nation, colour, and ethnicity, as well as the linkages between these categories. It encourages discussion of issues at the top of the public policy agenda, such as asylum, immigration, hate crimes and citizenship. As none of these issues are confined to any one region, Patterns of Prejudice maintains a global optic, at the same time as scrutinizing intensely the history and development of intolerance and chauvinism in the United States and Europe, both East and West.
