Group members found traumatic storytelling both frustrating and yet also an important form of memory work that shaped how they saw themselves in the post-Apartheid era. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the author examines how traumatic storytelling functioned not only as a kind of psychological healing and national political theatre, but also as a potent form of social relation, economic exchange, political activism, and expressive practice. With emphasis on the personal, social and political significance of the act of traumatic storytelling, this volume asks why members of Khulumani, despite their many disappointments, continued to engage intensively in storying their experiences for themselves and others. Examining what powers storytelling held for both group members and their witnesses, and considering the ways in which storytelling enabled new senses of self and new understandings of what was possible in the years after the end of apartheid, this book considers what we might learn more broadly from the experiences of Khulumani about the possibilities--and limits--of traumatic memory-making as an instrument of personal, social and political repair. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology and criminology with interest in justice and post-conflict societies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 164-174) and index. 505 0 $a A weekend in the Boland -- Traumatic storytelling at the TRC -- From the TRC to the trauma clinic -- Moral economies of traumatic storytelling -- Political economies of traumatic storytelling -- Traumatic storytelling in art, prayer and politics -- The uncertain powers of traumatic storytelling. 610 10 $a South Africa. $b Truth and Reconciliation Commission. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no97028092 650 0 $a Post-apartheid era $z South Africa. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010107117 650 0 $a Collective memory $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Narrative therapy $z South Africa. 610 17 $a South Africa. $b Truth and Reconciliation Commission. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00727574 650 7 $a Collective memory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739814 650 7 $a Narrative therapy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033063 650 7 $a Post-apartheid era. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072728 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 776 08 $i Online version: $a Colvin, Christopher, 1973- $t Traumatic storytelling and memory in post-Apartheid South Africa. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2019 $z 9780429491818 $w (DLC) 2018045040 830 0 $a Soziales GedaÌchtnis, Erinnern und Vergessen--Memory Studies ; $v 9. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014006123 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA6D58361E3F11EAA58222FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
