Abstract: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The photograph at the centre of this presentation is Colonel de Jager\u2019s address to Kwanyama headmen on 14 February 1917. This assembly and photographic occasion took place one week after a special South African military expedition under de Jager\u2019s command resulted in the death of the Kwanyama king Mandume ya Ndemufayo at Oihole on the borderland between Namibia and Angola. The photograph is put into conversation with other images, archives and oral histories to engage with three problems that often confront historians. The first problem is how to relate the micro-event\/s in photographs to larger scales of historical reconstruction. The second problem is the silence of the photograph, and the third problem is the stillness or stasis of the photograph. The paper explores the potential of gesture at a time of transfer of sovereignty to read deferral and continuity instead of silence and immobility.<\/p>\n
