Contents Introduction : a language for mourning -- Speaking bodies -- Passing and the politics of queer loss post-apartheid -- Traumatic witnessing : photography and disappearance -- Mourning the present -- Disavowed loss during apartheid and after in the time of AIDS -- Refusing transcendence : the deaths of Biko and the archives of apartheid -- (Without) conclusion : "The crisis is not over."
Summary Impossible Mourning focuses on disavowed loss and the difficulties of mourning in post-apartheid South Africa. The book transgresses disciplinary bounds to forge new ways of thinking and writing about the crisis of the epidemic and about the post-apartheid condition. It is the first book to focus on visual representation and HIV/AIDS in South Africa. The book is written in an accessible way, combining theoretical insights with moving testimony about facing the enormity of loss in the time of AIDS.
