Out of history : Re-imagining South Africans pasts Paperback / softback
by Jung Ran Forte, Paolo Israel, Leslie Witz
Paperback / softback
Description
Out of History brings together exciting and innovative work in History and the Humanities.
Drawing upon papers which have been presented at the South African Contemporary History and Humanities Seminar at the University of the Western Cape, the book reflects upon how this space fashioned new histories of the South African past over the last twenty years.
Written by leading scholars in fields of visual history, public history, heritage, linguistics, oral history and postcolonial studies, the contributionsaddress critical questions about the production of academic knowledge and the status of the Humanities in the post-apartheid present.
Through offering a critique of nationalist narratives, the chapters explore the limits of historical representations, providing new paths to rethink memory, the archive, creative writing, disciplinary methodologies and the legacies of colonialism.
