Improvising Reconciliation is prompted by South Africa?s enduring state of injustice. It is both a lament for the promise with which non-racial democracy was inaugurated and, more substantially, a space within which to consider its possible renewal. As such, this study lobbies for an expanded approach to the country?s formal transition from apartheid in order to grapple with reconciliation?s ongoing potential within the contemporary imaginary. It does not, however, presume to correct the contradictions that have done so much to corrupt the concept in recent decades. Instead, it upholds the language of reconciliation for strategic, rather than essential, reasons. And while this study surveys some of the many serious critiques levelled at the country?s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (1996-2001), these misgivings help situate the plural, improvised approach to reconciliation that has arguably emerged from the margins of the cultural sphere in the years since. Improvisation serves here as a separate way of both thinking and doing reconciliation. It recalibrates the concept according to a series of deliberative, agonistic and iterative, rather than monumental, interventions, rendering reconciliation in terms that make failure a necessary condition for its future realisation." 606 $aConfession 606 $aReconciliation$xSocial aspects$zSouth Africa 606 $aReconciliation$xPolitical aspects$zSouth Africa 607 $aSouth Africa$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aSouth Africa;transition;drama;theatre;film;stage;Marc Kaplin;democracy;Truth;Commission;performance;separation;Farber;Ingrid Gavshon;Ramadan Suleman;justice;human rights 615 0$aConfession. 615 0$aReconciliation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aReconciliation$xPolitical aspects 676 $a323.49 700 $aCharlton$b Ed$0871334 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488738603321 996 $aImprovising Reconciliation$91945220 997 $aUNINA
