Public memory, digital media, and prison narratives at Robben Island
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
In this article, the authors analyze face-to-face and interactive tours of Robben Island, South Africa. Using ethnographic and rhetorical research methods, they consider the ways in which the Island employs themes of triumph over oppression as a form of nation building. In addition, they consider the ways in which museum narratives may limit how visitors think about social justice in contemporary South Africa.
