Full textAbstract:
A partir de pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da Crítica Literária e da Literatura Comparada, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar traços de personagens dos romances Mayombe e Noites de Vigília, dos autores angolanos Pepetela e Boaventura Cardoso, respectivamente, não apenas como marcos do imaginário ficcional dos autores, mas, sobretudo, como representações da trama histórica recente de Angola, de que os autores foram ao mesmo tempo testemunhas e protagonistas, no sentido de que vivenciaram (e vivenciam!) seus reflexos no cotidiano do povo angolano. A análise dos romances baseou-se em uma perspectiva metodológica de comparação entre ficção e realidade histórica de Angola, o que permitiu concluir que muitas imagens representadas pela arte literária não são, simplesmente, reflexos da história, mas, sobretudo, demonstram formas de relacionamentos e pensamentos de sujeitos históricos com suas próprias histórias. Nessa concepção, os sujeitos imaginários de Mayombe (os próprios agenciadores da guerrilha), foram relacionados com as personagens de Noites de Vigília (atores que ajudam a recontar partes fragmentadas da história angolana) para que se tenha uma dimensão não apenas fictícia de elementos que recobrem a história política e cultural desse país, como também há possibilidade de se reconhecer sujeitos em suas mais variadas dimensões históricas. ABSTRACTBased on theoretical and methodological assumptions from Literary Criticism and Comparative Literature, the objective of this work was to analyze characters from the novels Mayombe and Noites de Vigília, by Angolan authors Pepetela and Boaventura Cardoso, respectively, not only as milestones of the authors’ fictional imagination, but above all, as representations of the recent historical plot of Angola, that the authors were at the same time witnesses and protagonists, in the sense that they experienced (and experience!) their reflections in the daily life of the Angolan people. The analysis of the novels was based on a methodological perspective of comparison between fiction and the historical reality of Angola, which led to the conclusion that many images represented by literary art are not simply reflections of history, but, above all, demonstrate forms of relationships and thoughts of historical subjects with their own histories. In this conception, the imaginary subjects of Mayombe (the guerrillas' own agents) were related to the characters of Noites de Vigília (actors who help to recount fragmented parts of Angolan history) so that one can see a dimension not only of the fictitious elements that cover the political and cultural history of that country, as well as the possibility of recognizing subjects in their most varied historical dimensions. Keywords: Mayombe, Noites de Vigília, Literature, Guerrilla, Angolan History.

Full textAbstract:
The expansion of proclisis in contexts that typically exclude it in European Portuguese has been described as a syntactic feature that characterizes Angolan Portuguese. This article studies the presence of this feature in the literary language, based on a corpus of texts by Angolan and Mozambican authors, representing two generations: authors born in the colonial period (the Angolan Pepetela and the Mozambicans Mia Couto and Paulina Chiziane) and authors born after the independence of their countries (the Angolan Ondjaki and the Mozambican Lucílio Manjate). The study results show that proclisis has a stronger presence in the works of Angolan authors than Mozambican authors, suggesting that the shift towards the generalization of proclisis is more advanced, socially widespread and accepted in Angolan Portuguese than in Mozambican Portuguese, although it is visible in both. It is in non-finite domains that the contrast between the two African varieties is more evident. Not only is the frequency of proclisis to the infinitive higher in the Angolan Portuguese corpus, but only there is proclisis to the past participle attested. Comparing the two generations of writers, we see a significant rise of proclisis to the infinitive between Pepetela and Ondjaki and it is in Ondjaki’s works that proclisis to the past participle occurs. Regarding the Mozambican Portuguese corpus, however, there seems to be a regression in the advance of proclisis between Mia Couto and Manjate. A closer look at Rabhia, by Manjate (2017), suggests that young speakers with a high level of education may perceive the spread of proclisis as a socially marked feature.

We dialogue with the theoretical framework of authors of decolonial epistemology, interculturality, oral history, memory, cultural heritage and local history. When preparing and developing the project Decolonizing times, spaces and memories: educational experiences in the province of Huíla - Angola, we sought to understand how teachers carried classes and educational activities in schools in this province regarding the issues of memory and educational experiences. Our research relied on the study of documents and the remembrances of Basic Education teachers. Our original questions were related to how the issues of memory, cultural heritage and history and culture of the communities of Huíla are present in the classrooms. The study was carried out using data collected from schools, teachers' narratives, from Lubango’s Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação-ISCED and Public Library. We sought to investigate the different knowledges, practices and experiences amalgamated in the production of school knowledge while identifying how teachers manage memories, heritage and local cultures in their teaching practices in this province. In this article, we discuss the Portuguese colonization of Angola and its independence. We also present the memories of Angolan educators about their educational activities during the two Angolan wars. The first was the war for independence the second was the civil war that followed.Keywords: Memories. Experiences. Decoloniality. Angola.

Full textAbstract:
Angolan writer Óscar Bento Ribas has revealed the cultural customs and oral traditions of the Angolan people through traditional tales and poetry, which show the experiences of the population transmitted from generation to generation, where words originating from the Kimbundu language are recognized and disseminated. However, young people are unaware of this legacy that exalts native memories, uses and customs; this, the problem identified in this research is insufficient knowledge of literary works by national authors who have promoted angolan culture. This narrative motivated an investigation based on the following objective: to analyze literary works by Óscar Bento Ribas, in the sociocultural context of Angola at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The study was carried out using analytical-hermeneutic method, applied to documentary reviews of literary works, taking into account essays, short stories, novels, dramas and lyricism. The main theoretical references were: Neves (2008), Sousa (2010), Tindó (2010) and Calivala (2015), who dealt with different phases of the angolan writer´s life and work, with a view to publicizing his literary creation. The results obtained provide information on biographical data, orientations related to the narratives and a sociocultural approach to the author; who, through his writing, preserved and disseminated the identity characteristics and values of the nation, through a writing style that illustrated conversations, dialects, human relationships, mysticism, feelings, experiences and regional food surrounded by exuberant nature.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the cultural values – how things should be – and the cultural practices – how things are – of Angolan society. The authors expected to find: a gap between practices and values; high levels of power distance, institutional and in-group collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, future and humane orientation; and low to medium levels of performance orientation, gender equality and assertiveness. Design/methodology/approach – In all, 235 employees in Angola responded to a questionnaire using GLOBE’s cultural scales. Findings – There is a gap between cultural practices and values. Within Angola, humane and performance orientations are the most valued cultural dimensions. Power distance and in-group collectivism are the most prevailing cultural practices. Compared to other countries, Angola has high levels of humane orientation, institutional collectivism and uncertainty avoidance values and high levels of assertiveness and performance orientation practices. Practical implications – Higher than desired levels of assertiveness and power distance, on the one hand, and lower than desired levels of humane orientation and uncertainty avoidance on the other, are key aspects that should be taken into account by HRM in this context. Originality/value – These results may have important implications for HRM in Angola. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analysis of Angola’s culture from a business research perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The Angolan State’s post-war center-piece reconstruction program, to provide the human right to ‘Water to All’, remains incomplete. The majority of Angola’s peri-urban communities still use the informal market to fill the gap. Water selling is the largest sub-sector of Luanda’s extensive informal economy, involving extractors, transporters and retailers. Negotiating for water at the local household level involves significant trading in social capital. Communities in Angola’s musseques have built on neighborhood solidarity to manage the supply of water themselves. The article is drawn from the authors’ experience in practice to examine the complexity of Angola’s informal water economy and local-level innovative responses. The Government has drawn on these lessons and adopted the community management model MoGeCA (the Portuguese language acronym for Model of Community Water Management)to help address the shortfall. The article is written from a practitioner’s point of view, based on more than a decade of experimentation in practice and support from USAID and UNICEF in taking community management to the national scale.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. One of the features of the Cold War was the movement of the rivalry of the superpowers into local armed conflicts and civil wars that took place on the territory of other states, mainly the Third World. The article examines the process of the involvement of the Soviet Union in the second half of the 1970s in the civil wars in Angola and Afghanistan. The policy of the USSR in armed conflicts outside the zone of its military-political influence has often been the subject of scientific research, but it has rarely been subjected to comparative analysis, and the authors make such an attempt, which is the novelty of the study. Methods and materials. The main method of the study is the method of comparative analysis (the actions of the USSR in 1975–1979 during the conflict in Angola and Soviet actions in the same period in Afghanistan are compared); the authors rely on documents, memoirs, and previous scientific works. Analysis. The first part of the article examines the process of the USSR’s involvement in the civil war in Angola, which began there soon after gaining independence, from the diplomatic recognition of the People’s Republic of Angola to the dispatch of Soviet military specialists. The second part of the article is devoted to the development of events in Afghanistan after the April 1978 revolution and Soviet involvement in them. Results. The authors conclude that the line adopted by the Soviet Union in relation to the military confrontation in Angola (financial, military, and other assistance, the dispatch of weapons, and military specialists) was ultimately more successful than the line implemented in relation to the civil war in Afghanistan in the form of direct military intervention by the Soviet army and its participation in the conflict outside the country. Authors contribution. T.V. Rabush described and analyzed the development of diplomatic relations between the USSR and Angola and with Afghanistan. R.A. Solovyev examined the military aspects of Soviet-Angolan and Soviet-Afghan cooperation (supply of weapons, sending military advisers, etc.). The research concept, conclusions, and literary editing of the text were carried out jointly.

Full textAbstract:
The figure of Queen Nzinga Mbandi continues to be appreciated in fictional and/or historical narratives as a myth of postcolonial Angolan identity, allowing a continuous approach as to what concerns the modes of cultural representation. In this article, the works of Manuel Pedro Pacavira, Nzinga Mbandi (1975), Pepetela, A gloriosa família: o tempo dos flamengos (1997) and José Eduardo Agualusa, A Rainha Ginga e de como os africanos inventaram o mundo (2014) will be analyzed, as these authors, in different moments of the recent Angolan history, look at this emblematic figure, drawing on historical information produced by Cavazzi, Cadornega or Jean Louis Castilhon, among others. The works now in analysis reiterate the mythical figure of resistance to the European invaders, which was Nzinga Mbandi, or a strong orientation towards the nationalist exaltation supported by it, an evident strategy which, by the rescue of figures and cultural practices, is defined as a means to affirm negritude.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between the Soviet Union and the African continent has increasingly attracted the attention of historians and literary critics alike, with Angola frequently treated as a fruitful case study. This chapter traces the socio-cultural microhistory of the transmission of the work of Maksim Gorky (1868–1936) in Angola––a transmission which underpinned, crucially, the development of a littérature engagé during the struggle for Angolan independence from the Portuguese Empire in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Gorky’s influence on the generation of Angolan writers active in the 1950s and 1960s––often regarded as the Geração Cultura, after the literary bulletin Cultura (1957–1961), which resided at the heart of the cultural movement supporting the drive for independence––has been explicitly acknowledged. With José Luandino Vieira as a case study, this chapter seeks to determine the ways in which Maksim Gorky’s work influenced, through processes of translation, transmission, and adaptation, a critical moment in the emergence of an Angolan national literary culture. Through comparative analyses between source and target texts, and drawing on extant scholarship of translation and ideology, this chapter analyses the ‘degrees of mediation’ between Gorky’s work and its instrumentalization by the 1950s generation of Angolan authors, and Luandino Vieira specifically. The ‘degrees of mediation’ traced in this paper fall into two main categories: first, both the translation of the Russian author into Brazilian Portuguese––with particular emphasis on the novel Mother (1906)––and its transnational dissemination across the Atlantic; second, in light of the translations then available to Angolan authors, the transposition of aspects of Gorky’s oeuvre into the early writings of José Luandino Vieira.

Full textAbstract:
This contribution intends to propose a reflection on the theatrical production of the Angolan Artur Carlos Pestana dos Santos, better known as Pepetela, an author who has always combined his literary vocation with his political commitment in the struggle for liberation from Portuguese colonialism (pepetela, meaning 'eyelash' in the Kimbundu language, originated as a militant battle name in the ranks of the MPLA). Pepetela, who has more than 20 novels and short stories to his credit, has only forayed into dramaturgy on two occasions, in the late 1970s, with the publication of A corda (written in 1976 and published in 1978) and A revolta da casa dos ídolos (written in 1979 and published in 1980). Both pièces are set in the socio-political context of the post-independence period and - both directly and allegorically, in dialogue with Brecht's epic theatre, but also with Augusto Boal's Teatro do oprimido - stage old and new conflicts between the dominators and the dominated.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, the authors explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Angolan market. A qualitative using case study (multi-case type) using interviews in data collection is used. It had 12 participants. The results reveal a significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Angolan economy. The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact for some companies, but essentially negative for others. The companies that sold the most during the pandemic are in the food, beverage, and health sectors. The ones that suffered the most losses were companies in the tourism and education sectors. The main difficulties have to do with the rapid changes in the market. The authors recommend focusing on diversifying the economy and reducing its dependence on oil, creating programs for financial education for consumers, and betting on digital communication.

Full textAbstract:
The economies of African countries are generally characterized by inefficient management of resources, strong heterogeneity in the rate of economic growth, as well as high levels of corruption and embezzlement of public funds, clearly highlighting the need to consider the role of government in the performance of the economic environment. Corruption is characterized by three key behaviors—bribery, embezzlement, and nepotism—characteristics that can influence the performance of any financial system. The objective is to examine the effect of corruption on credit risk in Angola. The result of the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation suggests that corruption increases non-performing loans in the Angolan economy; additionally, the authors find that the larger the bank's assets (bank size), the more averse to credit risk they become, and the smaller the state's stake in the banking system, the lower the non-performing loans.

Examines a three-way air war between Angola and Cuba on the one side and South Africa on the other. The study juxtaposes an essentially cautious, peoples-war approach of the Cubans and, to a lesser extent, the Angolan's, and a more aggressive and militarily competent approach of the South Africans to escalation. In the end, the author contends that, while the Cuban/Angolan alliance was stronger militarily, it backed away from escalation for domestic political reasons, while the South Africans were held back by domestic concerns, a momentarily weak military position, and global diplomatic and economic isolation.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to present the conclusions of the study carried out by the author on several examples of testimonial literature, problematizing the question of its literary genre, which will be called “documentary narrative essay”. The various styles of testimonial narrative that were composed, all over the world, during the moments of violence, catastrophes, and totalitarianism of the twentieth century, will be presented and understood in their particular characteristics, the result of the unique and brutal contexts in which they were produced. For a better clarification of the analysis, the 2015 book by the Angolan writer José Luandino Vieira, who witnesses his experience in the prisons of Luanda and also in the concentration camp of Chão Bom, in Tarrafal de Santiago, Cape Verde, during the years 1961 to 1972, will serve as a representative literary example of the various aspects that will be listed and explained as specific features of the documentary narrative essay. We will conclude, giving particular emphasis to the relationship of these narratives with the “duty of memory” (Primo Levi), which these authors consciously fulfilled through their testimonies, as a way of not allowing the forgetting of the names of the victims and as a means of preventing the repetition of the crimes committed against humanity.

Full textAbstract:
Using the retrospective relation method, the author presents his participation in three successive peacekeeping missions conducted by the United Nations at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The description of his personal experiences serves as a pretext to present the process of training UN military observers, and the conditions of their service. Personal experiences are integrated into a series of events in the mission’s mandate areas and often confronted with information contained in official UN documents and publications regarding the described events. The attached fragment relates to participation in the UN mission in Angola (MONUA), particularly to the events in the spring and summer of 1998, when the author served as the operational officer at the Regional Command in Saurimo, Lunda Sul province. It includes descriptions of the rebel attack on the Cafunfo airport and the search and rescue action for a missing MONUA military observer patrol in the Malanje province, detailed presentations of accommodation, food, and service conditions at the Mission headquarters in Saurimo, recalling dramatic events from the ongoing civil war, and reports on various types of actions conducted by UN officers in the rapidly worsening political-military situation in Angola and the planned “ultimate attack” by government forces on UNITA rebels, which was supposed to bring an end to the conflict and physically eliminate UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi.

The Portuguese-speaking African countries (PSAC) have been at the forefront of the Chinese presence in Africa. These countries have been no exception in the Chinese strategy to use Special Economic Zones (SEZ) around the globe as an effective tool to promote international trade and foreign direct investment with mainland. However, the establishment of SEZ does not necessarily warrant success in boosting investment and trade. The performance of SEZ worldwide has so far been mixed and many have not performed well for reasons such as poor site locations, uncompetitive policies and lack of differentiation, poor development practices, and bulky processes and ill-designed administrative frameworks. The authors look at two case studies of Chinese SEZ in PSAC, namely in Angola (Bengo SEZ, Luanda) and Mozambique (Manga-Mungassa SEZ, Beira), to discuss their common characteristics. The authors draw lessons on how to make Chinese SEZ in Africa work bearing in mind country-specificities.

Abstract According to the World Health Organization and the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics, between 0.5 to 0.8 percent of the global population has suffered limb amputations. In the last years, Colombia, Angola, Afghanistan, and Chechenia are the countries that have held the first places with the highest amount of landmine victims. In Colombia, this weapon has left more than 10.000 affected people, many of which have suffered traumatic lower limb amputation To recover some of the lost function, amputees are generally prescribed with a prosthesis. However, the adaptation of the user with this element depends on the comfort felt when using it and consequently, on the fit between the socket and the residual limb. The fit between these two elements is highly influenced by the relative motion between them (i.e. displacement, slip). Both excess of displacement or complete absence, have several negative consequences for the amputee. Thus, measuring displacement could be an important indicator of the quality of the socket and the suspension system, and could provide critical information to improve surgical interventions, the prescription of prosthetic elements and the design and development of new prosthetic components. Several authors have investigated this topic; however, the studies have been mostly conducted on transtibial amputees. Therefore, this review aims to summarize the gathered information about the displacement between the socket and residual limb in transfemoral amputees. A computer-aided systematic literature search was performed by two independent reviewers using three databases. The selected papers were evaluated with regards to: sample characteristics, displacement measurement instrument, measured activity, displacement axis, surfaces in contact, type of socket and type of suspension system used. Most of the studies were performed on less than five individuals with mature residual limbs and trauma caused amputation. The most common aspects of displacement were: imaging techniques (measurement instrument), gait (measured activity), vertical direction (displacement axis), bone/socket (surfaces in contact), quadrilateral (type of socket) and suction-based (suspension system). The optimal range of motion is still unknown for transfemoral amputees. A marker-based optical tracking system is promising for research purposes, while electronic sensors would be optimal for clinical use. Volume change may be an indirect and, more straightforward option to measure displacement. Further research is needed to determine the effect of using a modified socket, to find a way to measure relative motion inside the socket using marker-based optical tracking systems and to define the influence of subject-specific characteristics in the amount of displacement. A better understanding of what happens inside the socket helps to optimize prosthetic designs and to improve the amputee’s quality of life.
