| dc.description.abstract | The thesis focuses on Leon Levson’s ‘native study’ photographs, taken in the 1940s in the rural areas of Transkei and Bechuanaland. These photographs are housed at the UWC-Robben Island Museum-Mayibuye Archives as part of the International Defence Aid Fund (IDAF) photography collection. I am interested in the archival glitch of the ‘native study’ as located at an anti-apartheid archive and how Leon Levson has been situated at the centre of the South African social documentary photography tradition in this archive. Levson’s desire was to produce a pictorial testimony of ‘natives’. | en_US |
