Remembering the traumatic pastTarr, Amie January 2013 (has links)
In this thesis, I explore my personal family history in relation to the difficulties and challenges raised when representing a trauma in the past. My focus was the Blaaukraantz Bridge railway disaster of 1911, where my great great grandfather, Paul Tarr, was among the 29 victims. The links between my personal family history and the disaster are explored in my art practice. In the mini thesis, I unpack theoretical concerns surrounding memory, loss, and representation of past trauma by examining selected works by Christian Boltanski, Rachel Whiteread and Doris Salcedo. I do not endeavour to provide new insights about early twentieth-century history but instead to engage with different ways of forming narratives about the past. Memory as an alternative form of history writing is the key concept in this thesis in that personal memory and testimony provides an integral perception of the past and important details that would not appear in history texts or other factual forms of writing the past. In this thesis I unpack this issue in relation to my own art practice.

14 ways to remember Nzira gumi nena dzekuyeuka : exploring and preserving memoriesMatindike, Tashinga January 2009 (has links)
Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 105-107). / My project is one of memorialisation, expressed as a creative process. A core theme throughout my work concerns the notions of absence and presence, as the project is founded on a personal loss and inspired by a desire to sustain the memories of my late brother. My investigation involves the exploration and preservation of the memories of my brother. The body of work manifests as the residue of my reflections on grief and memory that I have chosen to exhibit in a commemorative manner. In turn, my practice has functioned as a source of comfort in the course of my mourning.

Previous issue date: 2012 / Resumo: Vídeo... Ciclos... Reflexões..., sistematiza minha pesquisa como artista e envolve experimentos em vídeo centrados em um tema comum: Ciclos da vida e a passagem do tempo. Deste tema, pensamentos vieram gradativamente através de minhas experimentações com esta linguagem. Questões conceituais começaram a se mostrar em minhas reflexões e leituras dos elementos do mundo. O vídeo foi empregado como meio de percepção dos movimentos da vida e da importância do tempo. As lentes da filmadora ajudam-me a perceber o mundo, revelando peculiaridades, momentos únicos, invisíveis que com o domínio da técnica e o treino do olho, podem ser encontradas por toda a parte. Pesquisar equações combinando significados diversos em vídeo, ressignificando meu objeto de estudo, que é a experiência perceptiva na alternância do tempo e seus sinais como possibilidade de investigações sobre questões existenciais / Abstract: Video ... Cycles ... Reflections ..., systematized my research as an artist and involves experiments on video centered in a common theme: Cycles of life and the passage of time. About this theme, thoughts came gradually through my experiments with this language. Conceptual issues began to show in my thoughts and readings of the elements of the world. The video was used as means of perception for movements of life and the importance of time. The lenses of the camera helps me understand the world, revealing peculiarities, unique moments, invisible to the mastery of technique and training of the eye, can be found everywhere. Find equations combining different meanings in video, giving new meaning to my object of study, which is the perceptual experience of time and the alternation of their signs as the possibility of investigations into existential questions / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestre em Artes

An investigation into the interrogation of Afrikaner culture and identity in the work of selected artistsMaurel, Nicolé 03 1900 (has links)
Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Technology: Fine Art, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2015. / The purpose of this research was to investigate the interrogation of Afrikaner culture and identity in the work of Andries Botha (1952) and Marlene de Beer (1957) in the context of Afrikaner nationalism. Anthony Smith’s theory of ethno symbolism (2010) and writings on nationalism by Montserrat Gibernau (1996, 2004a, 2000b) are used as a theoretical framework for an analysis of Afrikaner culture and identity, in the form of Afrikaner nationalism.
A qualitative research methodology was used, within an art historical, theoretical and practice led investigation into the interrogation of Afrikaner culture and identity. A reflective approach clarified and made meaningful concepts which relate to both my theoretical and practical work, which are interlinked.
De Beer makes use of cultural symbols, in interrogating the position of the female in Afrikaner identity and culture, in the context of South African history. Botha interrogates masculinity and patriarchy in Afrikaner culture and identity through a reference to his father and events and imagery from South African history.
A personal exploration of Afrikaner culture and identity, in the context of my family history and life experiences, reveals a persistent questioning of Afrikaner culture and identity, resulting in the formation of an individual identity. Arising from this research, it is evident that there is a need for further research into the possible formation of a multicultural identity post 1994 in South Africa. / M

Narrating an unstable memory : a postmodern study of fictional pasts in the (auto/bio)graphic novelLe Roux, Marike 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: To write a life story the auto/biographer must reflect upon the past that was once experienced. When presented with this task of depending on memory and narrative, the auto/biographer often finds himself/herself in the position of creating and imagining, rather than reflecting or presenting the past as it was lived. Fragmentation, forgetfulness, selection, (re)construction and imagination are often inextricably connected to Memory which results in the reliance on an unstable memory to access the past.
This dissertation explores how postmodern auto/biographies, specifically the (auto/bio)graphic novel, acknowledges the difficulty of writing about the past when concerned with truth. The (auto/bio)graphic novel disrupts the notion of truth by blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction, resulting in a hybrid form where text and image, reality and imagination co-exist to create new, and often more significant pasts (that can serve the present). / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Om ‘n lewensverhaal te skryf, reflekteer die outo/biograaf op dít wat eens geleef was in die verlede. Deur hierdie proses, wat ‘n afhanklikheid van die geheue behels, vind die outo/biograaf homself/haarself gereeld in ‘n situasie waar hy/sy ontwerp en verbeel, eerder as om die verlede weer te gee soos dit beleef was. Fragmentasie, vergeetagtigheid, selektering, (her)konstruering en verbeelding is soms onskeibaar van Geheue wat dui op die afhanklikheid van ‘n onstabiele geheue in die skryf- en illustreer-prosesse van ‘n outo/biografie.
Hierdie verhandeling ondersoek hoe postmoderne outo/biografieë, spesifiek die (outo/bio)grafiese roman, bewus is van die kwessies rondom die skryf van die verlede in verhouding tot waarheid. Die (outo/bio)grafiese roman ontwrig die idee van waarheid deur die grense tussen feit en fiksie te ondermyn. Gevolglik onstaan ‘n hibriede vorm van outo/biografie waar teks en beeld, realiteit en verbeelding gekombineer word om nuwe en meer beduidende verledes te skep (wat so ook die hede op nuwe maniere kan dien). / mlb2013
