A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to the Acquisition Disorder podcast, the show where we select a modern board game and use it as a jumping-off point to discuss museum practice, past and present, and colonial histories and legacies. I’m your host, Izzy Bartley, and in this episode, we are looking at the tracks of history through the lens of one of the world's most popular board game franchises.What can we learn from John McGoldrick, Curator of Industrial History at Leeds Museums and Galleries and Poonam Sharma, a researcher at the University of Leeds and former Assistant Professor at the University of Delhi when we sit down to play Ticket to Ride: India together? In this episode, we discuss:The Railway as a Tool of Empire: How the construction of the Indian railway was designed for the extraction of natural resources and the movement of British troops, rather than for the benefit of the Indian population.From First Class to Freight Carriages: The differences in the experience of train travel in colonial India for White British and Indian travellers in a system built on racism. A Prince, an Elephant and the Taj Mahal: An analysis of the game's cover art, which features stereotyped, western representations of India and Indian people.Tiger Tragedy: How the shooting of tigers by British army officers destroyed their populations and was used to assert control over local people.Building Railways in India, Building Wealth in Leeds: The links between locomotive manufacturing in Leeds, political power and generating wealth in the city.So join us as we roll dice, shuffle cards and above all, geek out over great conversations.References and further readingYou can read a transcript of this conversation here and see the board game Ticket to Ride - India here.Ticket to Ride: India and Switzerland (game) on BoardGameGeek Illusions of empire: Amartya Sen on what British rule really did for India (article)Shashi Tharoor, Inglorious Empire: What the British did to India (book)Satnam Sanghera, Empireland: How Imperialism has Shaped Modern Britain (book)How to Academy with Satnam Sanghera, 16th January 2024 (podcast)Yorkshire Film Archive of Hunslet Locomotive CompanyRetribution - a painting depicting Britain subduing the Indian war for independence, called mutiny in Britain (painting, can be seen in Leeds Art Gallery)Production Credits: This podcast was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/R012733/1) through the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities.
