Thesis (Ph.D.)--New School University, 2006.

This dissertation is concerned with the connections between violence and memory in contemporary South Africa. It deals with the ways in which a particular event in Cape Town in 1986 - the Gugulethu Seven - was inscribed on the collective memory of black Africans. It also focuses on the ways in which the killing of seven youth during P W Botha's state of emergency shape, formulate and contest the politics of memory in post-apartheid South Africa. Collective remembering has become a particularly important subject as the country, a decade after its first democratic elections, is at a historical juncture in which the connections between remembering and forgetting a painful and violent past, are increasingly perceived as issues that play a fundamental role in the consolidation of peace and in the process of social reconstruction. This study drew its conclusions from four interconnected sources of data: on the one hand, participant observation in the context of grass-roots organizations concerned with issues of "memory" and where the Gugulethu Seven has been a central referent in order to understand these organization's dynamics. Secondly, I have also conducted interviews and memory workshops among people connected to the Gugulethu Seven incident. Finally, a great deal of work was also conducted at the Truth and Reconciliation Archive as well as other institutional archives.
