          Reimagining lives and rethinking biography in South Africa

          My study about making and contesting the political biography (of I.B Tabata), premised on concepts of biographical relations and biographical production, will move beyond narrow debates about the individual and social forces and the limited value of methodological individualism.

          It will also show how nationalism and resistance history can be understood outside masculinist and modernist frames by breaching the boundary between the public and the private, and the personal and the political. This project shows how biography was mobilised to show the expression of individuality and personhood through writing and authorship and through portraiture, even where these had been denied through a commitment to the politics of the collective and underground mobilisation.

          It also shows it might be possible to represent lives of racialised subjects (such as /Khanako and Klass and Trooi Pienaar) as those of modern persons
