Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The archive as mnemonic device and taxonomic structure plays a significant role in the
visualisation of identity. This thesis draws on the example of the personal photographic
archives of three trans men to suggest ways of understanding archives as discursive and
visual practices through which fluctuating narratives of self can be uncovered, traced,
erased, renegotiated and fictionalised. This thesis considers how these participants
negotiate the roles of author, archivist and photographer in the creation of their personal
photographic archives, and how such archives intersect with discourses on the social,
somatic and political. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die argief speel as beide ‘n mnemoniese apparaat en ‘n taksonomiese struktuur ‘n
beduidende rol in die voorstelling van identiteit. In hierdie tesis word die fotografiese
argiewe van drie trans mans bespreek om maniere voor te stel waarop argiewe as
diskursiewe en visuele praktyke funksioneer waardeur veranderlike narratiewe van self
ontbloot, nagespoor, uitgewis, heroorweeg en verbeel kan word. Hierdie studie oorweeg
die manier waarop hierdie deelnemers die rolle van outeur, argivaris en fotograaf
onderhandel tydens die skep van hul persoonlike fotografiese argiewe, sowel as die wyse
waarop hierdie argiewe as kruispunte dien waar diskoerse rondom die sosiale,
liggaamlike en politiese bymekaarkom.
