Description
Summary How does one deal with the past in the creation of a new myth and what role does memory play in this process of recreation? Antjie Krog's novel, Country of My Skull (2002), uses the South African past in this search of a new myth after the end of the old Apartheid myth. In this article the problem with truth and memory is investigated, where memory is described as subjective and unstable. As a result of the subjective and human nature of memory, the fallibility of memory is pointed out. In the same way as memory, truth is also dependent on perception and personal experience, also set in the past and is therefore subject to the problem of memory. It is only through the action of remembering that rectification and justice can take place and, in the end, can lead to reconciliation. Within the context of this essay, this process of remembering takes place through literature and the action of writing as the processing of the trauma of the past is investigated.
