If history is always also a product of the imagination, as has been claimed by scholars who have inaugurated the literary turn in history, how is it that history, as a disciplinary inquiry, nevertheless finds within itself the epistemological authority to disqualify the claims of a healer-diviner in South Africa, who recently, at the prompting of dead ancestors, claimed to have found the long lost skull of the murdered nineteenth century Xhosa king, Hintsa? How, in other words, does history both admit its ungroundedness and simultaneously reserve to itself the power to distinguish the sayable from the unsayable? The dissertation poses these questions by way of an inquiry into two incongruent events---the killing and alleged decapitation of the Xhosa king Hintsa in 1835 by British soldiers and the alleged recovery of his skull from Scotland by the healer-diviner, Nicholas Tilana Gcaleka, in 1996. In particular, it explores the strategies by which Gcaleka's mission was invalidated by examining colonial and nationalist renderings of the event. I suggest that the process of invalidation is the product of the elaboration of three terms: archive, nationalism and postcolonial marginality. The concept of difference that grounds these terms, I argue, is inadequate for finishing the critique of apartheid.Subjects--Topical Terms:

If history is always also a product of the imagination, as has been claimed by scholars who have inaugurated the literary turn in history, how is it that history, as a disciplinary inquiry, nevertheless finds within itself the epistemological authority to disqualify the claims of a healer-diviner in South Africa, who recently, at the prompting of dead ancestors, claimed to have found the long lost skull of the murdered nineteenth century Xhosa king, Hintsa? How, in other words, does history both admit its ungroundedness and simultaneously reserve to itself the power to distinguish the sayable from the unsayable? The dissertation poses these questions by way of an inquiry into two incongruent events---the killing and alleged decapitation of the Xhosa king Hintsa in 1835 by British soldiers and the alleged recovery of his skull from Scotland by the healer-diviner, Nicholas Tilana Gcaleka, in 1996. In particular, it explores the strategies by which Gcaleka's mission was invalidated by examining colonial and nationalist renderings of the event.

In the present dissertation I argue that the definitive feature of colonial and nationalist narration---the process of aligning the signifier and referent and thereby expunging the signified---obscures the operation of the rules that enable the discipline of history to separate the sayable and the unsayable. At stake here is a critique of the ways in which the alignment of the signifier and the referent organises the historians reading of the archive. In addressing the convergence between signifier and referent as it is articulated in modes of evidence specific to colonial domination and nationalist narration, I task myself with thinking [a]head, that is in the aftermath of apartheid. In this respect I ask that we consider what is entailed in finishing the critique of apartheid understood as the difference at the very core of the apparatus of power, knowledge and representation?
