- W4328133768 abstract "In July 2015, the German government used the term “genocide” in an official statement to refer to the mass killings of the OvaHerero, Nama, Damara, and San committed between 1904 and 1908 in the former colony ‘German South West Africa’. The acknowledgement of past crimes in the present is often understood as a ‘moral obligation’. However, this use of the term genocide was merely to be understood as a linguistic adjustment which rejected the OvaHerero’s and Nama’ claims for reparations. In this paper, I explore the construction of ‘morality’ and moral standards in Germany’s postcolonial memory politics and how they affect the recognition of Germany’s colonial past. Comparing the recognition of 2015 with the debates over the “reconciliation agreement” in 2021, the paper reveals the discrepancy between the recognition of the genocide and the misrecognition of the ‘suffering of the others’. By conducting a discourse analysis of newspaper articles, press releases as well as governmental statements and initiatives by opposition parties, I reconstruct the ambivalences of the rhetorical recourse to morality: On the one hand, the recognition of the genocide becomes a moral obligation. On the other hand, the Ova- Herero’s and Nama’s demands for reparation are discursively placed outside Germany’s moral understanding of how to acknowledge colonial crime. As a result, the established moral collective ideal is identified as the ‘nation’s’ aim of ‘successfully’ coming to terms with its colonial past, thus perpetuating the misrecognition of the ‘suffering of the others’." @default.
