Extending the burgeoning body of work on the penal tourism industry, this project investigates how slavery is forgotten and remembered at a US plantation prison. Through a case study of Angola, I explore if and how the prison’s plantation history is acknowledged at the prison rodeo and arts and crafts festival, commemorated in museum exhibits, and discussed in prisoner writings. My analysis reveals the contested nature of Angola’s history and the place of slavery (and racial inequality more generally) in it. In an act of racial violence, the administration tells a story of progress that disregards slavery along with its parallels to the present. On the other hand, some prisoners resist this narrative and evoke memories of slavery in protest of their current circumstances. I conclude with a discussion of what this struggle over Angola’s, and the nation’s, history might mean for the prospect of penal reform.

Full textAbstract:
Coffee plantations were unquestionably one of the defining features of Angola’s colonial landscape. From the 1870s to independence, coffee was the main export of this former Portuguese colony, barring a couple of intervals during which rubber and diamonds held first place. During this time, Angola ranked consistently among the world’s largest robusta producers, which it might still have been today had the country’s civil war (1975-2002) not made commercial farming all but impossible. In Angolan popular memory, coffee occupies an ambivalent position: for some people it brings up memories of colonial forced labor, while others recollect stories of successful family farms. My research project, “Coffee and Colonialism in Angola, 1820-1960,” aims to reconstruct the multiple, intertwined realities behind these contrasting memories. Focusing on northern Angola, where smallholding and estate farming always coexisted, it investigates how African farmers, colonial settlers, foreign traders, and global consumers shaped one of the oldest commercial coffee frontiers in sub-Saharan Africa. In doing so, it reflects on the question to what extent “colonialism” is the proper lens through which to study the history of coffee cultivation in Angola.

В статье рассматриваются истоки возникновения вопроса Кабинды как затянувшегося территориального спора между официальными властями Республики Ангола и действующей на территории анклава Кабинда сепаратистски настроенной организацией — Фронта освобождения государства Кабинда, а также ее различными фракциями. Отмечается влияние геополитического фактора и нефтяных запасов на ситуацию в провинции, рассматриваются исторически обусловленные предпосылки и формально-правовые основания возникновения данного спора. Анализируются цели и методы борьбы, применяемые сепаратистами, отмечается их разобщенность, противоречивость действий в отношении правительства в Луанде. Отражены взгляды высшего руководства страны на данную проблему, приведены некоторые меры, принимаемые правительством для урегулирования вопроса. Прослеживается динамика развития ситуации в последние годы, а именно перегруппировка сил сепаратистов, создание ими новой организация — Движение за независимость Кабинды, активисты которой уже включились в политическую борьбу и призывают к самоопределению провинции. В статье делаются некоторые прогнозы относительно развития событий вокруг анклава. The article focuses on the sources of the Cabinda issue as a long-lasting territorial argument between the authorities of the Republic of Angola and the Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave, a pro-separatist organization functioning in the territory of the Cabinda enclave and its fractions. The article highlights the significance of the geopolitical factor and oil reserves and their influence on the situation in the province. It treats historical prerequisites and formal legal basis of the argument. The article analyzes the aim and methods of struggle used by separatists. It underlines the inconsistency of their actions aimed at challenging the government in Luanda. The article describes Angolan authorities’ views on the problem and dwells on some measures taken by the government to regulate the issue. The article assesses the development of the situation throughout recent years. It focuses on the regrouping of the separatist forces, on the creation of a new organization called Independence Movement of Cabinda, whose activists are involved in the political struggle and call for national self-determination. The article makes a few predictions associated with enclave-related developments.

Resumo: O romance histórico Yaka, de Pepetela, narra o último século de administração portuguesa em Angola e as múltiplas resistências das populações nativas à ocupação colonial até a conquista da independência. Na construção da nação angolana, o pano de fundo do romance, uma narrativa sutil surge nas entrelinhas. Esse espaço liminar de representação articula as dificuldades de definição do que se tornaria representativo de uma ideia, ou um ideal, de “angolanidade” que foi construída concomitantemente à projeção da nação. A complexidade do enquadramento político e cultural que definiria a identidade nacional angolana decorre das experiências da história colonial, que, mais do que (re)inventar as fronteiras do que viria a ser a geografia política do país em busca da independência, teve um papel fundamental na definição do que constituiria o povo angolano – seja colocando juntos diferentes povos que originalmente habitaram esse vasto território, ou pelo assentamento de uma quantidade significativa de colonizadores brancos nos espaços conquistados. Depois de tantos anos de histórias e memórias compartilhadas entre colonizadores e colonizados, que características seriam consideradas como fontes legítimas de pertencimento nacional? Que fronteiras demarcaram a “angolanidade” funcionando como base para a construção da identidade nacional angolana? Quem teria direito à cidadania após o processo de independência? Estas questões orientaram o presente estudo de caso, que, ao ler Yaka como um romance histórico constitutivo das narrativas angolanas de pertencimento elaboradas já em uma conjuntura pós-colonial, reflete sobre os processos de exclusão/inclusão da população não negra na construção de uma ideia ou ideal de “angolanidade”.Palavras-chave: Pepetela; angolanidade; pertencimento; identidade nacional.Abstract: Pepetela's historical novel Yaka narrates the last century of Portuguese colonial presence in Angola and the multiple forms of resistance of native populations to colonial occupation until the conquest of independence. In the construction of the Angolan nation, the background of the novel, a subtle narrative appears between the lines. This liminal space of representation articulates the difficulties of defining what would become representative of an idea or an ideal of “Angolanity” that was constructed concomitantly with the projection of the Nation. The complexity of the political and cultural framework that would define Angolan national identity stems from the experiences of colonial history, which, more than (re)inventing the borders of what would become Angolan political geography, played a fundamental role in defining what would constitute the Angolan people – by putting together different peoples who originally inhabited this vast territory, or by the settlement of a significant population of white settlers in the conquered spaces. After so many years of stories and memories shared between colonizers and colonized, what characteristics would be considered as legitimate sources of national belonging? What frontiers demarcated the “Angolanity”, functioning as a basis for the construction of Angolan national identity? Who would have the right to citizenship after the independence process? These questions guided the present case study which, reading Yaka as a historical novel constitutive of the Angolan narratives of belonging elaborated in a postcolonial conjuncture, reflects on the processes of exclusion/inclusion of the non-black population in the construction of an idea or ideal of “Angolanity”.Keywords: Pepetela; angolanity; belonging; national identity.

The article considers two art works made in recent years in Angola: the exhibition Lion & Ox, which featured art works by António Ole and Art Orienté objet, and the installation Icarus 13 by Kiluanji Kia Henda. Both draw on twentieth century utopias still present in Angola and refer to Agostinho Neto, the poet who became Angola's first Marxist-Leninist president. While Lion & Ox explores Angolan nature structured through colonial taxonomies, Icarus 13 tells sci-fi narrative of an Angolan space mission to the Sun, suggesting a shift to a planetary imaginary. What does it mean, in the present conjuncture, to think the planetary from Angola?

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the new wave of Portuguese migration to Luanda in the first decade after Angola's civil war, a time characterised by extensive economic growth and shifting economic prospects in Angola. It frames Portuguese–Angolan relations in contemporary Angola, relations that are sometimes portrayed as amicable and influenced by a common brotherhood, as multifaceted. This article distinguishes different social, cultural, and historic interpretations of this migration and investigates how such interpretations influence people's relations, identities, feelings, and personal understandings of the social, political, and historic contexts that people confront on a daily basis in contemporary Luanda, a capital city where “colonial encounters in postcolonial contexts” have increasingly become everyday occurrences. It argues that at the intersections of Angolan and Portuguese contact in Angola, new configurations of power are being produced and reproduced against the backdrop of its colonial history and Lusotropicalist myths, where colonial and postcolonial inequalities, as well as economic opportunities, are brought to the fore in both Angolan and Portuguese imaginaries.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the escalation of tensions surrounding Angola's independence from Portugal in 1975, when a protracted war of national liberation escalated sharply into an international crisis. Rather than see Angola as merely a proxy war, the article depicts the varied responses to Angolan anti-colonial nationalism as consequences of “internationalization,” or the deliberate and endogenous process of framing the struggle for Angolan independence in global terms. By establishing Angolan independence as part of a worldwide battle against imperialism, racism, and Western hegemony in the early 1960s, and by raising the issue in international forums, creating transnational support networks, and operating across borders and oceans, the Angolan national liberation movements created the ideological and political preconditions for the military interventions and Cold War political theater of the 1970s. Angola thus demonstrated how national liberation movements, as transnational actors, learned to operate within the international system to gain necessary material and moral support but also provoked the ire of more powerful external actors who had their own political and ideological reasons for opposing a pro-Soviet regime in Angola.

AbstractThe Companhia de Diamantes de Angola, or Diamang, mined for diamonds in colonial Angola from 1917 until independence in 1975. The enterprise’s Health Services Division (SSD) was responsible for supplying mine managers with an African labour force comprised of healthy, and therefore productive, employees. In practice, though, this otherwise ‘healthy’ system did not always work. While SSD personnel attempted to fulfil their charge by implementing a series of screening measures, production targets and a scarcely-populated regional labour pool regularly prompted senior officials to compel the SSD to clear recruits who were otherwise unfit for mine service. Drawing upon interviews with former SSD staff and African labourers, as well as company and colonial archival sources, this article focuses on the interplay over time between the SSD, the company’s production demands and these labourers.

Based on newly declassified documents from former Yugoslav archives, this article reconstructs the process of material and political assistance that was rendered to the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) by Yugoslavia throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s until the time of Angola's independence and the beginning of the Angolan civil war in 1975. The archival evidence demonstrates that Yugoslavia's assistance to the MPLA guerrillas was one of the crucial factors that enabled the organization not only to survive the vicissitudes of international politics, but also to preserve and stabilize its strength for the final phase of the power struggle in Angola.

AbstractIn Angola, a trend towards labor commodification, set in motion under the impact of the nineteenth-century produce trade and colonial rule, has been reversed in the decades since independence. Angolans have always worked mainly in the reciprocal sphere, but with the growing commercialization of the economy after the abolition of the slave trade, self-employment has also become a constant in Angolan labor history. By 2000, the rural population was thrown back to subsistence farming, while the larger part of the urban population has tried to survive by self-employment in the informal economy. Wage labor, widespread under colonialism, has become less common.

Full textAbstract:
The blacktail, Diplodus capensis, is an inshore sparid fish distributed from Mozambique to Angola. This species forms an important component of coastal fisheries within its distribution, one being the subsistence handline fishery in southern Angola. With this fishery being critically important to the livelihoods of local communities, a biological study and stock assessment was conducted to provide information for the management of this species in southern Angola. However, with molecular evidence suggesting that the Benguela current may have separated the southern African populations of many inshore fish species over two million years ago, a morphological, taxonomic analysis was considered necessary to first investigate whether there was evidence for allopatry in this species. A total of 46 morphometric measurements and 18 counts were carried out on specimens collected from various locations in southern Angola and South Africa. Results were analysed using multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) and the significance of clusters was tested using analysis of similarities (ANOSIM). Biological samples of D. capensis were collected monthly from an unexploited area from April 2008 to March 2009. Additional biological samples were collected from the subsistence fishers in an exploited area during May, June and December 2009. Standard biological laboratory techniques were employed for the lifehistory comparison between the exploited and unexploited area. A per-recruit analysis was conducted using the life-history parameters from both areas in order to assess the current status of the subsistence fishery and to investigate the potential short-falls of the per-recruit assessment approach. The morphometric comparison showed that there was not sufficient evidence for speciation between the southern Angolan and South African populations of D. capensis. There was, however, sufficient morphological evidence to suggest that these populations are separate stocks. This indicated that the existing reference points on which the management of the South African population is based are unsuitable for the Angolan population. Diplodus capensis in southern Angola is omnivorous, feeding predominantly on algae, barnacles and mussels. An ontogenetic shift from algae to barnacles and mussels was correlated with allometric growth patterns in their feeding apparatus. This species is a rudimentary hermaphrodite in southern Angola with peak spawning in June and July. The overall sex ratio (M: F) was 1: 4.7 in the unexploited area and 50% maturity was attained at 149.5mm FL and five years. Diplodus capensis in southern Angola exhibits very slow growth with the maximum age observed being 31 years (validated using mark recapture of chemically injected fish). Females [L(t) = 419.5(1-e⁻°·°⁴⁵⁽t⁻³·⁴ ⁾)] grew significantly faster (LRT, p < 0.05) than males [L(t) = 297.4(1-e⁻°·°⁷⁷⁽t⁻²·⁷⁾)], and females dominated the larger size classes and older age classes. In the exploited area, the length and age frequencies were severely truncated, the maximum observed age was greatly reduced (17 years) and the sex ratio was less female biased at 1: 2.2. Although there was no evidence for a physiological response to exploitation through alterations in growth or size/age at sexual maturity between the two areas, there was an increase in the proportion of small females in the exploited area, which may have been a compensatory response for the loss of large females. A combination of an underestimate of longevity, different estimates of the Von Bertalanffy growth parameters and overestimates of the natural mortality rate in the exploited population resulted in a 92% underestimate of the pristine spawner biomass-per-recruit (SBR) value. An assessment based on the actual pristine SBR estimate from the unexploited area revealed that the subsistence fishery had actually reduced D. capensis to 20% of its pristine SBR levels and highlighted the value of pre-exploitation life-history information for the application of per-recruit models. This study has shown that D. capensis in southern Angola displays life-history characteristics that render it susceptible to overexploitation, even at low levels of fishing pressure. The current lack of infrastructure and enforcement capacity in the fisheries department of Angola renders traditional linefish regulatory tools, such as size limits, bag limits and closed seasons, inappropriate. Therefore, suitably designed marine protected areas are recommended as the best management option for this species.

Full textAbstract:
A general lack of biological information is hampering the effective management of Angola’s fisheries. While this lack of information is largely a result of the country’s extended civil war that ended in 2002, the subsequent rapid expansion of fisheries is most likely impacting fish abundance and influencing the biology of this regions fishes. Besides the influence of fisheries, the southern Angolan coastal region is considered to be a climate change “hotspot” due to rapidly (>0.8°C/decade) increasing water temperatures. These changes are thought to drive further changes to the biology of fishes. It is therefore critical to provide baseline biological information and to identify the impacts of exploitation and warming on the biology of southern Angolan fishes. Pomatomus saltatrix is a warm-temperate marine fish species that forms an important component of fisheries throughout its broad distribution. P. saltatrix is a migratory predator that displays variable growth and maturity schedules. Typically it is heavily targeted in a range of coastal fisheries of Angola and is therefore an ideal candidate to study the biological impacts of exploitation and climate change. The aim of this study was to provide the first description of P. saltatrix biology in Angola and examine recent changes of the species biological parameters in an attempt to uncouple fishery driven from climate driven changes. Samples of P. saltatrix were collected monthly using standardised biological methods from June 2005 to December 2006 (period 1) and from June 2012 to February 2013 (period 2). The average (508mm – 1st period, 462mm – 2nd period) and maximum (760mm – 1st period, 746mm – 2nd period) size of P. saltatrix was smaller during the second period to suggest selective overharvesting of large individuals by developing fisheries. Angolan P. saltatrix grew very rapidly in their first year and thereafter, relatively slowly when compared to other populations globally. However, fish grew faster (ω = 103 – 1st period, ω = 124 – 2nd period), matured at a larger size (303mm - 1st period, 336mm - 2nd period) and younger age (0.83 years - 1st period, 0.67 years – 2nd period) during the second period. Peaks in reproductive activity remained similar (November) during both periods but a temperature anomaly appears to have influenced spawning during period 2. Sardinella aurita was the dominant prey during both periods but a greater dependence upon mugilids was observed during the second period. Although the changes in life history were not statistically significant, the faster growth observed during period two could be attributed to both increasing temperature and/or exploitation. Fishes generally grow faster, mature smaller and attain a smaller maximum size in warmer temperatures. Fisheries targeting small and large specimens of a species (as observed in this study) largely have the same impacts as ocean warming. With rapidly increasing water temperatures and exploitation rates, faster growth and earlier maturation of P. saltatrix populations will mitigate the impacts of exploitation in the short-term. However, the sustainability of Angola’s P. saltatrix stock is questionable as phenotypic adaptation will have a limited thermal scope and overexploitation will, like in all fisheries, negatively influence recruitment. Ultimately, strict monitoring, regulation and control will be necessary to ensure the sustainability of the P. saltatrix resource in Angola as it continues to face increasing anthropogenic and environmental pressures. Management guidelines and future research suggestions are therefore outlined with reference to the results of analyses conducted during this study.

Full textAbstract:
The zebra sea bream, Diplodus cervinus (Sparidae) is an inshore fish comprised of two boreal subspecies from the Gulf of Oman and the Mediterranean / north eastern Atlantic and one austral subspecies from South Africa and southern Angola. The assumption of a single austral subspecies has, however, been questioned due to mounting molecular and morphological evidence suggesting that the cool Benguela current is a vicariant barrier that has separated many synonymous inshore fish species between South Africa and southern Angola. The aims of this thesis are to conduct a comparative morphological analysis of Diplodus cervinus in southern Angola and South Africa in order to classify the southern Angolan population and then to conduct a life history assessment to assess the life history impact of allopatry on this species between the two regions. Results of the morphological findings of the present study (ANOSIM, p < 0.05, Rmeristic = 0.42) and (Rmorphometric = 0.30) along with a concurrent molecular study (FST = 0.4 – 0.6), identified significant divergence between specimens from South Africa (n = 25) and southern Angola (n = 37) and supported stock separation and possibly sub-speciation, depending on the classification criteria utilised. While samples from the two boreal subspecies were not available for the comparative morphological or molecular analysis, comparisons of the colouration patterns between the three subspecies, suggested similarity between the southern Angola and the northern Atlantic / Mediterranean populations. In contrast, the colouration patterns between the southern Angolan and South African specimens differed substantially, further supporting the morphological and molecular results. The distinct morphological divergence between the southern Angolan and South African populations was not reflected within the life history traits of both populations. A combination of methods, including length/age frequency analyses, adult sex ratios and histological analysis was used to determine that this species is a rudimentary hermaphrodite in southern Angola. Peak spawning season was observed between June and July. The overall sex ratio (M: F) was 1:1.52 with females dominating smaller younger size classes and 50% maturity was attained at 210 mm FL and 4.6 years. Females [L(t) = 287.5(1-e⁻°·¹⁸⁽t⁻²·⁸⁴⁾)] grew significantly faster (LRT, p < 0.05) than males [L(t) = 380.19(1-e⁻°·°⁶⁽t⁻⁷·¹²⁾)]. The higher maximum age of the southern Angolan population of D. cervinus (43 years) was older than that of South African individuals sampled in the tsitsikamma national park. The similarities in the life history of the two austral populations are probably a consequence of similar selective pressures in the similar warmtemperate habitats. Evidence to support the above comments was found in the feeding study which showed that the South African and Angolan populations were almost identical, with both populations feeding primarily on amphipods and polychaete worms throughout ontogeny. In contrast, the diet of their boreal conspecifics from the Mediterranean was different, where larger individuals tended to select larger, and more robust, prey items. The life history differences observed between the boreal and austral populations can be attributed to either sampling bias or environmental factors. Sampling biases included the use of different age and growth estimation techniques, while the environmental factors would include differential selective pressures most likely driven by different resource availability and exploitation. The present study provides crucial baseline life history information of a potentially exploitable species off southern Angola as well as information on the life history plasticity of the species. Unfortunately, the current lack of uniformity in the methods used to estimate life history parameters between studies conducted on the boreal and austral populations have complicated our understanding of the evolution of various life history trends in sparid fish. From a management perspective however, the results from the present study can be used to propose management strategies for an emerging trap fishery in southern Angola. Using a balanced exploitation fishery approach (harvesting up to the size-at-100% maturity), the size of the fish traps entrance was calculated based the morphological information from this and other small sparid species that are targeted and was estimated to be 62 mm.

Esta tese tem como foco comprovar que Agualusa elabora um texto esteticamente calcado nas memórias partilhadas que criam comunidades discursivas. Esta arquitetura narrativa, que joga com a similitude entre memória e imaginação, não deságua em um texto memorialístico e saudosista, pois ao se articular com o componente irônico do discurso, forja uma escrita que se alimenta do caráter polissêmico das palavras e convida o leitor a considerar outros matizes da história. Para essas análises, elegemos as narrativas de Teoria Geral do Esquecimento (2012) e Nação Crioula (2001), tendo como base os conceitos de Paul Ricoeur em A Memória, a História, o Esquecimento (2007), e de Linda Hutcheon em Teoria e Política da Ironia (2000). Podemos perceber como determinantes da estética agualusiana a ênfase dada ao trabalho com os revezes da memória, articulado com as arestas cortantes da ironia como componente estético capaz de problematizar o caráter sentencioso da história oficial angolana.This thesis focuses on demonstration that Agualusa produces an a esthetically underpinned text in the shared memories that create discursive communities. This narrative architecture, playing with the similarity between memory and imagination does not flow in a form of memorialistic and nostalgic text because it is linked with the ironic component of speech that forge a writing which feeds the ambiguous character of words and inviting the reader to consider other shade of the story. For this analysis, we elected the General Theory of Narratives from Oblivion (2012) and Creole Nation (1989), based on the concepts of Paul Ricoeur Memory, History, Oblivion (2007), and Linda Hutcheon in Theory and Politics of Irony (2000). We can observe how a esthetics of determining agualusiana emphasis on working with memory setbacks, combined with the sharp edges of irony as an aesthetic component capable of questioning the judgmental nature of the Angolan official history.

Full textAbstract:
Sand provenance in the Kwanza Basin, Angola, is assessed using conventional and varietal heavy mineral analysis. There are contrasting heavy mineral signatures in the north and south of the basin separated by a hybrid zone. These contrasts are attributed to different hinterland geology. Heavy mineralogy, sand body distribution and prominent structures allowed the subdivision of the Kwanza Basin into five depositional domains. Heavy mineral indices filter important provenance signatures in space and time in addition to providlng tectonic and geomorphologic information. Quantitative and qualitative thermal and composition information was obtained from fluid inclusions using UV fluorescence and microthermometry. There were at least two pulses of hydrocarbon generation and migration from source rocks in the basin based on homogenization temperatures of 52-129°C, geochemical characterization of oil shows from proprietary data, and Genesis basin modelling: 1) during Albian time, rift-related high heat flow triggered the first pulse, and 2) high rates of sedimentation led to a burial-induced pulse during the Neogene-Quaternary. There are three main controls on diagenesis: stratigraphy and facies; thermal history; and provenance. Significant authigenic minerals (illite, smectite, dolomite, quartz and feldspar) were only noted in Cenomanian or older rocks. Apatite fission track analysis (AFTA) yields a record of the temperature regime experienced by the basin and basement through the pre-rift, syn-rift and post-rift stages. There were three main tectono-thermal events in the basin: 1) pre-rift and early syn-rift cooling; 2) a post-rift period of tectonic quiescence (Cretaceous to early Tertiary); interrupted by 3) a rapid cooling (denudation) due to epeirogenic uplift of the Inner Kwanza Basin and hinterland at ca. 23 Ma. Miocene denudation of the Inner Kwanza Basin and the hinterland is mirrored by a burial-related temperature increase in the Outer Kwanza Basin. This source to sink correlation indicates a period of bypassed sedimentation into the Outer Kwanza Basin and possibly onto the abyssal plain of Angola. Keywords: Kwanza Basin, diagenesis, provenance, heavy minerals, fluid inclusion, microthermometry, AFTA, basin modelling, hydrocarbon charge.

This dissertation analyses the metaphor dimensions of the word chão/xão in the literary work "Há prendisajens com o xão " (2002) from the Angolan writer Ondjaki, with the goal to summarize the author s poetic and makes clear how the corpus of the poems are inserted in a literary system of countries with Portuguese language and also dialogues with others writers. The investigation had developed in four chapters. In chapter 1, we established how Ondjaki production is inserted in a literary system, seen as a macro system (Abdala, 1989), we attempted to point out some authors and the theme 'land' to locate the work in a time-space of the Angolan Literature History, that is, showing who are the "others" that precede him. In the chapter 2, was delicated for the analysis of the corpus, epigraphs and dedicatories in view of the construction of the metaphoric though of word "xão", based on studies of Valèry (1999) Fenollosa (1994) and Pound (1997). In chapter 3, " Learning to be ground: the language", we attempted to reveal the poet procedures to build up a crioulè language and its malleabilities, making evident the aspects of the orality (quimbundu subtract, for instance) used as resources for the construction of paronomasia, alliteration and works-assembly. In chapter 4, The others of the land , we used Glissant concept of rhizome (2005) to conclude how the resources raised previously lead to the construction of identities, of a "xão" as a poetic land without frontiers, through the relationship with the contemporary poetry universe in Portuguese Language
Esta dissertação analisa as dimensões da metáfora xão na obra Há prendisajens com o xão (2002) do escritor angolano Ondjaki, com o objetivo de sistematizar o fazer poético do autor e explicitar como o corpus de poemas insere-se em um sistema literário de países de língua portuguesa e dialoga com outros escritores. A investigação desenvolveu-se em quatro capítulos. No cap. 1, estabelecemos como a produção de Ondjaki insere-se dentro de um sistema literário, visto enquanto macrossistema (Abdala, 1989), para situar a obra em um tempo-espaço na História da literatura angolana.O cap.2 foi dedicado à análise do corpus, epígrafes e dedicatórias, à luz da construção do pensamento metafórico da palavra chão, fundamentado em estudos de Valèry (1999), Fenollosa(1994) e Pound( 1997). No cap. 3, Aprendizagem do eu-chão: a língua , procuramos revelar procedimentos do poeta para construir uma língua literária e suas maleabilidades, evidenciando aspectos da oralidade ( substrato quimbundu, por exemplo) usados como recursos para a construção de trocadilhos e palavras-montagem. No cap. 4, utilizamos o conceito de rizoma de Glissant ( 2005) para concluir como os recursos levantados anteriormente levam à construção da identidade, de um chão como nação poética sem fronteiras, por meio das relações com o universo da literatura contemporânea em língua portuguesa

Full textAbstract:
The two films O herói [The Hero] (Angola, 2005) and Kangamba (Cuba, 2008) examine the inheritances reconsider the inheritances of Angola’s post-colonial history and Cuba’s most involved internationalist project in Angola from very different perspectives. This article proposes an analysis of how each of the two films cites the revolutionary impulse of the early war years in the context of the post-Cold War confrontation with the global circulation of cultural and economic capital. The popular war epic Kangamba, an example of what historian Rafael Rojas identifies as a post-Cold War restorative impulse that remembers the early years of Cuban revolutionary orthodoxy as stable and purposeful, strikes a discordant contrast with other more critical accounts of the war, which O herói represents through the story of an Angolan ex-soldier, a former prostitute and a presumed orphan struggling to re-integrate into civilian society. Considering the two films together will expose Kangamba’s performance of a defiant gesture toward a contemporary cultural climate increasingly divided in its collective memories of the war while O herói’s engagement with the post-war aesthetics of disillusionment presents effects of war on the human landscape unacknowledged in Kangamba’s nostalgic look back to the height of revolutionary utopian idealism, and suggests that the damage done to the national Angolan fractures and distances it from notions of national or global solidarity.
