概要

this podcast is inspired by Silke Stroh’s Gaelic Scotland in the Colonial Imagination explores the historical and cultural positioning of the Scottish Highlands within a (post)colonial framework from 1600 to 1900. The text examines how the anglophone mainstream constructed the Gaelic-speaking population as a barbaric "Other" to justify internal civilizing missions, linguistic suppression, and political integration into the modern British state. Stroh argues that Scotland occupied a complex, Janus-faced role by acting as both a marginalized periphery within the United Kingdom and an active participant in overseas imperial expansion. By utilizing concepts such as hybridity, mimicry, and internal colonialism, the author illustrates how Gaelic identity was simultaneously denigrated as primitive and romanticized as noble. The source further details how early modern state-building and Enlightenment ideologies transitioned into racial determinism to manage the perceived threat of the Highland "fringe." Ultimately, the work seeks to bridge the gap between Scottish studies and international postcolonial theory by highlighting the intersection of domestic and global power dynamics.
