I’ve actually got a book called Colonial Violence, which has a painting of Melvill and Coghill on the front cover, plus of course, there was the book on war crimes and genocide that has a Rorke’s Drift painting as its front cover.
It’s no real surprise that it is filtering out into other areas. I foresee at some stage AZW re-enactments at events will eventually be affected, even protested against with demonstrations. Romanticism of the red coated soldiers may become a thing of the past, but I think I mentioned elsewhere, romanticism of such a war in paintings, etc., was more of a Victorian viewpoint, but whether it is right to continue it today when modern war is so brutal and in our faces every day, well, it comes down to individual opinions. I don’t enter into these debates, as they are very ugly and show another dark side to peoples’ thinking that I do not like one bit, and the words used now to describe each other are shocking. I feel we are losing the way of what remembering history means, that the history becomes history itself, erased from memory. However, that is my own thoughts on the matter |
