Includes bibliographical references. [The] idea of the collective trauma has been applied to South Africa in the period of transition from apartheid to democracy. Especially during the hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), as the commission invested heavily in the practice of traumatic storytelling as part the broader globalization of psychiatric knowledge about trauma (Colvin, 2008). Political cartoons shed an interesting light on the establishment and development of trauma discourse. This study looks at the contribution of South African political cartoonists to trauma discourse at the time of the hearings of the Human Rights Violations Committee (HRVC) of the TRC. 2015-01-10T13:26:45Z 2015-01-10T13:26:45Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11938 eng application/pdf African Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
