Deconstructing museums and memorials in pre- and post-apartheid South Africa

This study examines the ways in which museums and memorials within South
African society commemorate events of the past. Various examples of
museums and memorials are chosen and identified according to the ways in
which they embody postmodern or modern thought. Postmodern and modern
museums are deconstructed according to various post-structural tenets so as
to arrive at a broader understanding on how they are able to remain a
continuously relevant and vital part of contemporary society. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (Art History)
