“…In this way, memory and historical consciousness are symbiotic, reflecting the needs of the current generation. In support of Spivak's (2021) views, Chau et al (2022) argue that public attacks on the commemorative landscape voice and demonstrate resistance to official hegemonic narratives, constituting developing consideration of and diverse perspectives engaging with systems of power.…”

The primary objective of this article, among other prescripts, is to unravel the lexicological arena of colonialism and apartheid as a pertinent subject in Ncedile Saule’s Umlimandlela (At the cross-roads). The reason to undertake this scholarly discourse is because of the vestigial elements of colonialism and apartheid that continue to subterfuge the constitutional democracy of our country, thereby decaying and delaying social cohesion and consciousness. Post-colonial theory is employed given that it concentrates on matters before and after the formal end of colonialism in South Africa in 1994. On the other hand, qualitative research methodology is utilized to recognize the selected isiXhosa novel as a primary source of data. Through conceptual and contextual discussions, the main findings certify that though South Africa formally ended colonialism, the currently witnessed colonial tendencies are deeply rooted in the colonial and apartheid systems. As a result, it is fair to accept that colonialism and apartheid in South Africa demonstrate resistance and resilience – and that requires maintained and continued discourses in a bid to challenge the conundrum. The concluding remarks call for the recognition and appreciation of isiXhosa modern literature owing to the reality that it provokes colonial and apartheid discourses that will pivot towards reasonable contestations.

“…Among them, fine virtual reconstruction technology is an important means of ancient building protection, which can quickly and accurately simulate 3D models based on actual building data, providing great help for the protection and research of ancient buildings [1]. However, due to the ancient nature of ancient architecture, the details and structure of buildings are often very complex, and the data collected by a single sensor is insufficient to fully describe the complex external and internal structures of ancient buildings [2]. Therefore, the comprehensive application of multi angle and multi sensor is seen as an important means to compensate for this deficiency, and LiDAR measurement technology is a very important sensor among them.…”

Due to the inconsistent color tones of ancient buildings, the accuracy of model construction is low. In order to improve the fine reconstruction effect of ancient buildings, a multi-angle LiDAR measurement data adaptive fusion model for fine virtual reconstruction of ancient buildings is proposed. Obtain fine data through data collection, preprocess the fine data of the ancient building, set judgment conditions based on the processing results, extract fine feature information of the ancient building from multi angle LiDAR measurement data, and achieve fine virtual reconstruction of the ancient building. The experimental results show that the fine virtual reconstruction scene under the proposed algorithm is clear and complete, and the reconstruction results of the length, width, and height of ancient buildings are consistent with the actual measurement results, with high accuracy and good results.

Heritage, memory and identity of Harbin: A confluence of Russian and Japanese colonial effects

Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang Province and China’s northernmost metropolis. The modern city of Harbin was founded by the Russians in 1898 and colonised by Russia and Japan during the first half of its 120-year history. After the Second World War, the post-colonial Harbin had to deal with its Russian and Japanese colonial pasts and their architectural remains. While the city initially tried to forget its colonial pasts by demolishing the colonial-era buildings, in recent decades, Harbin is re-remembering those pasts through the presentation and (re)interpretation of its colonial built heritage. It is noteworthy that the local government has approached Harbin’s Russian and Japanese colonial heritages in very different ways, and public opinion has polarised on the issue of colonisation regarding the city’s Russian and Japanese colonial pasts. Using archival analysis, observation and semi-structured interviews, this paper investigates the evolution of Harbin’s urban memory of the colonial pasts from both official and popular perspectives. It is argued that the different approaches to Russian and Japanese colonial heritages have historical reasons in cultural, economic and political terms and serve to achieve a common goal in the present, that is to construct a distinct and consistent identity for the city’s future. Further, post-colonial identity constructed in this way is questioned as it still does not overcome the self–other dichotomy that features in colonisation.
