Abstract
ABSTRACT This article advances an understanding of memory as image by testing the memories of late Zimbabwean authors Chenjerai Hove and Freedom Nyamubaya against notions of provenance and content which are key to the analysis of images. Narratives about the late writers demonstrate that memories are activities of the consciousness which are directed towards objects external to the mind. In this regard, they are best considered constructs, the result of imaging or the intentional creation of images. Because of this, memories can be neither true nor false. They are determinations revealing their bearers’ choices and relations to knowledge and information about which they remember. Informing the discussion, therefore, is the view of remembering as “imaging”, that is, an activity of the consciousness which involves the positing of an existing or non-existing object.
