CONTRADICTIONS AND CHALLENGES IN REPRESENTING THE COLONIAL PAST: HERERO MEMORY ACTIVISM IN NAMIBIA

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Th is paper attempts to investigate recent urban space-makingpractices and imaginaries of two diff erent civic actors: Swakopmund CityTour, operated by Namibian Germans depicting the history of Swakopmundlinked to German heritage, and a group of Herero activists around SwakopmundGenocide Museum, challenging the monopoly in framing representationsof urban heritage and history, and presenting alternative memorynarratives. Th e aim is to explore how the offi cial memory is dealt with inpresent day-remembrance policies and practices, and how it is challengedby alternative memory driven by Herero activists. Conceptually, the notionof a mnemoscape (Kössler, 2012) is used, including both intangible andtangible aspects of the remembrance of collective experience. Methodologically,the paper is largely based on the outcomes of a short fi eldwork in theurban environment of Swakopmund in 2022.
