The Ethnographisation of Syrian Society at the Azem Palace of Damascus: From Compact Minorities to Toponymical Identity
View through CrossRef
This chapter uses the founding of the Azem palace museum in 1953 in Damascus as a site to explore the transition to colonial ethnography to postcolonial self-representation. The authors argue that the museum was conceived as a statement of resistance against western colonialism, leading to a partial reimagining of the cultural categories developed by the French, from ‘compact minorities’ to ‘toponymical identities.
