520 |a On August 16, 2012, at Marikana, South Africa, police forces opened fire on a group of striking platinum miners in what has come to be known as the Marikana massacre. Surveying the aftermath of this assault, journalist Greg Marinovich photographed large stones on which forensic teams had written alphabetical figures to count and locate the dead. By comparing these images with other photographic and video documentation of the Marikana massacre, this article studies the political potentials of photography in contemporary African postcolonies where the dislocating, detaining, and killing of certain populations functions as a metametaphotographic labor, transforming these brutalized bodies into racialized images of state sovereignty.
