战争纪念文献的一个核心主张是，第一次世界大战给国家纪念活动带来了根本性的变化。这一论点是problematised使用的案例研究关注当地的哀悼，国家纪念活动和纪念活动之间的关系，在南非战争的1899-1902年，其中有关民族主义，归属和公民身份的含义已被刻在一个“传奇地形”，具体化的纪念纪念馆和纪念碑。这场战争的两次纪念沉默--一次是关于儿童的部分沉默，另一次是关于所有黑人的沉默--被梳理出来与1913年建造的Vrouemonnatie、20世纪60年代和70年代建造的Gedenktuine或纪念花园以及1994年后的一些倡议有关，也与公民身份和归属感有关。1914年至1918年期间，许多声称起源于欧洲的纪念活动都比南非战争的纪念活动早，南非战争有时直接成为后来欧洲纪念活动的原型。“人们必须永远不要忘记，正是出于政治原因，被纳入的神秘，然后被压抑，永远不会被摧毁。这个谱系有一个公理，即历史从不抹去它所埋葬的东西;它总是把它所加密的东西的秘密，它的秘密的秘密保存在自己里面。这是一个秘密的秘密历史。因此，家谱也是一种经济”1
Abstract A central claim in the war commemoration literature is that World War I brought about a fundamental change in state commemorative practices. This argument is problematised using a case study concerned with the relationship between local mourning, state commemoration and remembrance following the South African War of 1899–1902, in which meanings about nationalism, belonging and citizenship have been inscribed within a ‘legendary topography’ which has concretised remembrance in commemorative memorials and monuments. Two silences in commemoration from this War — a partial one concerning children and a more total one concerning all black people — are teased out in relation to the Vrouemonument built in 1913, the Gedenktuine or Gardens of Remembrance constructed during the 1960s and 70s, and some post-1994 initiatives, and also related to ideas about citizenship and belonging. Many commemorative practices claimed as originating in Europe between 1914 and 1918 were predated by these of the South Africa War, which sometimes acted as a direct prototype for later European ones. “One must never forget, and precisely for political reasons, that the mystery that is incorporated, then repressed, is never destroyed. This genealogy has an axiom, namely that history never effaces what it buries; it always keeps within itself the secret of whatever it encrypts, the secret of its secret. This is a secret history of kept secrets. For that reason the genealogy is also an economy” 1
