It aims at highlighting different manifestations of melancholia that are visible in these texts in particular and in post-apartheid writing more generally. Mainly based on Sigmund Freud's, Anne Cheng's, and Paul Gilroy's concepts of melancholia, most novels are regarded as melancholic counter-narratives to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission's attempt to initiate a nationwide process of mourning with the aim of subsequent closure of the apartheid past. Moreover, concepts of melancholia prove particularly useful in order to analyse issues such as complicity, uncritical whiteness, crises of identity, forms of resistance, and intergenerational memory. 606 $aMelancholy in literature$zSouth Africa 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature$zSouth Africa 606 $aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature$zSouth Africa 606 $aSouth African fiction 607 $aSouth Africa$xIn literature 610 $aSüdafrika 610 $aPostapartheid Literatur 610 $aPostkoloniale Literatur 610 $aTruth and Reconciliation Commission 610 $aMelancholie 615 0$aMelancholy in literature 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature 615 0$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature 615 0$aSouth African fiction. 676 $a823.9209353 700 $aDemir$b Danyela$0953294 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910418319303321 996 $aReading loss$92155076 997 $aUNINA
