The seven women who shared their stories of rape at the human rights violation hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission ('TRC') in South Africa offer a nascent public record of women's experiences of rape under apartheid. This project is motivated by a desire to examine how these testimonies of rape were affected by explicit and implicit underlying narrative frameworks associated with the language of the TRC, and that of rape. In particular, this project analyses the extent to which the juxtaposition of these two frameworks at the TRC may have either enabled or constrained the seven women's narratives. 2015-10-25T16:55:34Z 2015-10-25T16:55:34Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/14273 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
