Este trabalho insere-se na discussão sobre as práticas de ensino e aprendizagem da língua portuguesa (LP) em Angola. Consideramos que o ensino da LP na norma padrão de Portugal, para crianças cuja língua materna é o português na variedade angolana, pode ser apontado como uma forma de elas se sentirem estrangeiras. Inspirados em Barzotto (2004), que reflete sobre a incorporação das variedades linguísticas trazidas pelos alunos, objetivamos discutir a incorporação da variedade angolana nas aulas de LP. Questionamos qual é o lugar dessa variedade nas aulas de LP. Nossa análise é feita a partir da observação das aulas de LP em uma escola do Bengo. Além disso, levamos em consideração a Lei de Bases do Sistema de Educação (LBSE), de 2001/2016. Durante nosso estudo, observamos que, se por um lado, linguistas têm defendido a normatização da LP angolana e a sua nacionalização, por outro, a LBSE não faz menção sobre o uso da norma padrão de Portugal ou sobre as particularidades do ensino de LP em Angola. A lei afirma que o português é uma língua de Angola, consideramos que esse fato argumenta a favor da nacionalização do português. Por sua vez, na escola, enquanto o português angolano não tem espaço no livro didático, notamos que professores e alunos incorporam essa variedade em classe. Em linhas gerais, concluímos que há uma hostilidade à incorporação das línguas nacionais nas práticas escolares, presente desde a era colonial e que parece se estender à incorporação do português angolano marcado por essas línguas.Palavras-chave: Ensino de português; Angola; Variedades linguísticas; Português angolano. ABSTRACT: This work is part of the discussion about the teaching and learning practices of the Portuguese language in Angola. We consider that the teaching of the Portuguese language in the standard Portuguese norm for children whose mother tongue is Portuguese in the Angolan variety can be pointed out as a way for them to feel foreign at school. Inspired by Barzotto (2004) that reflects on the incorporation of the linguistic varieties brought by the students in the language classes, we aim to discuss the incorporation of the Angolan variety in the Portuguese class. We question the place of this variety in Portuguese classes. Our analysis is based on the observation of Portuguese classes at a school in the province of Bengo, and we also consider the Law of Bases of the Education System (LBSE) of 2001 and 2016. We note that linguists have defended the standardization of Angolan Portuguese and nationalization. In turn, the LBSE does not mention the use of the standard Portuguese standard or the particularities of Portuguese teaching in Angola. What is evident is Portuguese as the language of Angola, we consider that this fact argues in favor of the nationalization of Portuguese. In turn, Angolan Portuguese does not have space in the textbook, but the teacher and the student, autonomously, incorporate this variety into the classroom. We conclude that there is hostility the incorporation of the national languages in the school practices present from the colonial era and that seems to extend the incorporation of Angolan Portuguese marked by these languages.Keywords: Teaching of Portuguese; Angola; Linguistic varieties; Angolan Portuguese.

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:
Angola is characterized by many different languages and social, cultural and political realities, which had a marked effect on Angolan Portuguese (AP). Consequently, AP is characterized by diatopic variation. One of the marked effects is in the loanwords imported from other Angolan languages. Our objective is to analyze different Angolan texts, analyze the lexical forms used and conduct a comparative study with European Portuguese, whose aim is to identify the possible loanwords in Angolan. This process was automated, as well as the identification of cotexts of all loanwords. In addition, we determine the lexical class of each loanword and the Angolan language of origin. Most lexical loanwords come from the Kimbundu, although AP includes loanwords from some other Angolan languages, too. Our study serves as a basis for preparation of an Angolan regionalism dictionary. We note that more than 700 loanwords identified do not figure in the existing dictionaries.

Full textAbstract:
This study covers the main concepts of international marketing and relationship marketing to understand the role played by culture and the quality of cooperation relations between Portuguese exporting companies and their distributors in Angola. The aim of this research is to understand how the culture and the quality of the relations affect the established cooperation between companies, in the context of the internationalization of the business. It should be emphasized that relationships characterized by trust and commitment in international contexts have been sparsely studied, as well as the impact of cultural similarities and differences in relationship structures. In methodological terms, we opted for a qualitative analysis: five case studies of Portuguese exporting companies and five case studies of Angolan distributors were analyzed. Interviews were conducted with the managers of the Portuguese exporting companies and with the collaborators responsible for export activities, as well as with the Angolan distributors, to obtain answers to the research questions. The selection of Portuguese companies was based on a list of the fifty largest Portuguese exporting companies to Angola, made available by the Portuguese Investment and Foreign Trade Agency, EPE (AICEP), in August 2011. The results show that culture, trust and commitment have an impact on the cooperation of commercial relations between Portuguese exporting companies and their Angolan distributors.

Full textAbstract:
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.

AbstractThis article explores the relationship between Angolan guerrilla broadcasts and their effects on the Portuguese counterinsurgency project in their war to hold on to their African colonies. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA'sAngola Combatente) and National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA'sVoz de Angola Livre) broadcasts allowed these movements to maintain a sonic presence in the Angolan territory from exile and to engage in a war of the airwaves with the Portuguese colonial state with whom they were fighting a ground war. First and foremost, it analyzes the effects of these rebel broadcasts on listeners, be they state or non-state actors. A reading of the archives of the state secret police and military exposes the nervousness and weakness of the colonial state even as it was winning the war.

Full textAbstract:
Just before midnight on 10 November 1975 Portugal's high commissioner in Angola, along with the last remnants of the Portuguese army in Africa, embarked for Lisbon. Earlier in the day he had formally transferred sovereignty not to a successor government but to ‘the Angolan people’, a formulation which permitted Portugal to ‘decolonise’ without taking sides in the civil war which was at that time reaching its climax in Angola. Immediately the perfunctory ceremony in Luanda ended, the Portuguese officials left at speed for the harbour and the relative safety of their ships which departed immediately. Thus ended Portugal's 500-year empire in Africa. It is tempting to see Portugal's indecorous withdrawal from Angola as an emblematic climax to an increasingly destructive relationship with the former jewel in its African crown. In this view, the chaotic circumstances of Angola's road to independence had brought Portugal's own fragile and unstable post-revolutionary state to the point of destruction. Yet a quite different view can be proposed. The political and diplomatic challenges thrown down by the Angolan crisis might be seen, on the contrary, to have had a ‘disciplining’ effect on a revolutionary process in Portugal which was threatening to spin out of control as a result of its own internal pressures. Arguably, rather than exacerbating these pressures, the demands of events in Angola had a unifying effect on an otherwise fragmenting state.

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.

This paper examines the narrative poem Juca, a matumbola, published in 1865. The author of the text was Ernesto Marecos (1836-1879), a Portuguese writer of the Romantic period, who lived and worked in Angola at least between 1856 and 1857. The poem deals with the phenomenon of matumbolas, similar to that of zombies, widely diffused in Haitian folklore. The source for Marecos’poem was an account published in 1859 in the Boletim official do Governo Geral da Provincia d’Angola, written by someone who, like him, was an official of the Portuguese colonial government. Besides studying the poem and comparing it with its probable source, I will also refer to other occurrences of the theme in modern Angolan literature.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UM CASO ANTIGO DO TEMA DO ‘ZOMBIE’ EM ANGOLA: ‘JUCA, A MATUMBOLA’, DE ERNESTO MARECOSEste artigo estuda o poema narrativo Juca, a matumbola, publicado em 1865.

Developing the skills and interest in scientific research of medical students is crucial to ensuring effective healthcare systems. As such, in this study, we aimed to assess Portuguese-speaking medical students’ attitudes and perceptions toward scientific research and clinical practice, and how they are influenced by individual characteristics and regional indicators. A total of 455 first-year students from three medical schools in three countries (Portugal, Brazil, and Angola) participated in this study by completing a questionnaire. Portuguese students attributed the most importance to scientific skills and were the most confident in their ability to perform these skills. Angolan students were the most motivated to perform research and integrate it into the curriculum, despite having the most negative attitudes and perceiving themselves as having less ability to perform scientific skills. Brazilian students had the least positive attitudes toward science. In Portugal, attitudes depended on gross domestic product (GDP), while in Angola, they were influenced by the type of secondary school attendance. Portuguese students’ perceptions of scientific skills were related to sex, GDP, type of secondary school, and participation in research. In Brazilian and Angolan students, perceptions were associated with age and research participation, respectively. The findings support the need to promote skills and positive attitudes toward scientific research in future physicians, fostering physician-scientists and improving patient care.

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre o processo de descolonização literária na obra de Ana Paula Tavares através do uso do discurso religioso e do papel da mulher na ancestralidade de matriz banta, fazendo uma análise crítica do discurso da crônica “A cabeça de Salomé” (2004). Pretende-se demonstrar que as referências culturais a certas formas de expressão comunicativas da narrativa oral e das crenças de origem cabinda e quioca conseguem criar uma nova forma de reescrever a identidade angolana, criando uma contramemória que se contrapõe à memória dominante, imposta pelos colonizadores portugueses ao longo da história. Desta forma, a figura bíblica de Salomé toma uma conotação diferente com respeito ao Evangelho, adaptando-se às necessidades narrativas da autora que quer enfatizar o legado banto para subverter as imagens pré-estabelecidas das convenções culturais ocidentais, que têm afetado dramaticamente o país angolano e a sua identidade nacional.Palavras-chave: Ana Paula Tavares; literatura angolana; espiritualismo banto; análise crítica do discurso.Abstract: By carrying out a critical discourse analysis of the chronicle “A cabeça de Salomé” (2004) by Ana Paula Tavares, the purpose of the present article is to reflect on the process of literary decolonisation, occurring through the development of a religious discourse and the emphasis given to the role of women in Bantu ancestry. This paper aims to demonstrate that the cultural references related to certain forms of expression belonging to the oral tradition, as well as the Cabinda and Tshokwe beliefs evoked by the author, create a new way of re-defining the Angolan identity, by developing an anti-memory as opposed to the dominant memory, which had been imposed by the Portuguese colonisers over the centuries. This way, the biblical figure of Salomé assumes a different connotation compared to the one depicted in the Gospel, as a result of the adaptation to the narrative needs of the author, who wants to emphasise the Bantu legacy in order to subvert the pre-established western cultural conventions that have affected dramatically the Angolan country and its national identity.Keywords: Ana Paula Tavares; Angolan Literature; Bantu Spiritualism; Critical Discourse Analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The internationalization process of companies from African countries, whose participation in international trade has been highlighted in academic research and international business, is a recent phenomenon. This research aimed to investigate the internationalization process of Angolan beverage companies. This study seeks to identify the facilitating and hindering factors during the internationalization process and the main results. This exploratory research uses the qualitative approach based on the case study method. The main findings of this research showed that Refriango&rsquo;s internationalization process in the Portuguese market took place through a strategic alliance, considering that its process was slow and gradual. Another factor facilitating the internationalization process was the Angolans&rsquo; cultural and linguistic proximity in Portugal. Main factors that hinder the internationalization process, high costs of production and exports from Angola, lack of infrastructure, and difficulty in achieving strategic objectives only with sales in the domestic market are considered. Building alliances for African companies and those few experienced in this process is essential to success because it allows them to avoid mishaps and reduce possible risks.

Full textAbstract:
This study describes processes of language change in Angolan Portuguese focusing on the use of intensifiers. Previous studies have shown that intensifiers are a relevant category for the study of language change due to their rapid change and variable meaning. It has been noted that intensifiers are particularly prone to renewal, suggesting speakers’ desire to innovate. Informed by a Digital Humanities approach, we collect and analyze data from Twitter (now X), focusing on the multi-functional intensifier bué, ‘very’, in Angolan Portuguese (AP). In this paper, we (1) provide an overview of the word’s distribution in AP, (2) consider the processes of change involved in bué’s variation, and (3) discuss the role of linguistic borrowing in language change and grammaticalization, shedding light on some of the cultural aspects that play a role in this word’s development, such as the influence of the media and the contact situation between Angolan and European Portuguese.

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:
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.

Este artigo pretende analisar, quanto à propriedade esquematicidade, construções parentéticas epistêmicas quase-asseverativas de base clausal verbal portuguesas, instanciadas por microconstruções como (eu) creio que, (eu) acho que, (eu) penso que, de um lado, e (eu) creio, (eu) acho, (eu) penso, do outro. Para análise dessas construções, assume-se como orientação teórico-metodológica a Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso, com ênfase na abordagem construcional da gramática e mudança linguística. A investigação se baseia em ocorrências empíricas das variedades angolana e moçambicana do português contemporâneo, extraídas do banco de dados do Corpus do Português. Os resultados mostram que: (i) a rede construcional dos parentéticos analisados apresenta dois subesquemas: [(SUJP1)VEpist Compl]Parent e [(SUJP1)VEpist]Parent; (ii) os dois subesquemas ocorrem no português angolano e moçambicano, havendo diferença quanto à produtividade; (iii) nas microconstruções, os verbos epistêmicos que mais ocorrem são achar (português moçambicano) e crer (português angolano e moçambicano).

This study examined the subjective well-being (SWB) of international students. International students represent one of the biggest and most relevant sojourners groups. The sample included 204 Angolan international students who attended Portuguese universities and a control group of native-born Portuguese students. Using quantitative survey research methods, the relative strengths of demographic, acculturation, and sociocultural adaptation factors in predicting two indicators of SWB (overall well-being and academic satisfaction) were explored. Angolan students revealed lower levels of well-being and higher levels of academic satisfaction than Portuguese students. As expected, language proficiency, interaction with conationals, ethnic identity, and sociocultural adaptation were significantly correlated with SWB. In addition, results indicated that acculturation and sociocultural adaptation variables accounted for a larger proportion of explained variance in SWB than demographic variables. Academic satisfaction predicted well-being beyond demographic, acculturation, and sociocultural factors. Some implications of the findings for improving SWB of international students and future research are discussed.

Abstract: The article analyzes the trajectory of Antônio de Oli veira Cadornega, author of História Geral das Guerras Angolanas (1680). We examine aspects of the work linked to the author’s concerns - the wars involving the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the kingdoms of Congo and Angola - highlighting his Lusocentric position. The 1972 printed edition is used, as well as the bibliography about the work and its author. We seek connections between the writing of the text and the Portuguese political crisis in the seventeenth century, including the inquisitorial one, as well as between the history of its editions and the Portuguese context in the 20th century. The focus of our reflection, however, is that Cadornega was a New Christian, through his mother, and may have practiced Crypto-Judaism, whether in his youth in Vila Viçosa, or in Africa, like the group of Portuguese New Christians studied by Horta and Mark in Senegambia, in The Forgotten Diaspora (2011).

AbstractThis article uses demographic data from nineteenth-century Angola to evaluate, within a West Central African setting, the widely accepted theory that sub-Saharan Africa's integration within the Atlantic world through slave and commodity trading caused significant transformations in slavery in the subcontinent. It specifically questions, first, whether slaveholding became more dominant in Angola during the last phase of the transatlantic slave trade; second, whether Angolan slave populations were predominantly female; and third, whether slavery in Angola expanded further during the cash crop revolution that accompanied the nineteenth-century suppression of the Atlantic slave trade. Besides making a significant contribution to understanding the demographic context of slavery in the era of abolition, the article aims to display ways in which historians can use the population surveys the Portuguese Empire carried out in Africa from the late eighteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This text addresses the Cultural and Artistic Dimension of Bantu Languages in Higher Education in Angola. The Bantu languages are the only means of expressing art in Angola. Therefore, there is no art without Angolan languages. In a country where the state imposes the deprivation of the public or private use of local languages as fundamental rights of people, one cannot speak of Angolan art, since only through these languages can the artist express the cultural, political and artistic values of the Peoples of Angola. Bantu languages occupy the last position with a deprecated language dimension. Thus, it is the purpose of this text to analyze the extent to which the Bantu languages of Angola express all the rationality of the people who speak them. This communication is therefore the result of my experiences in courts and schools in rural communities. In courts, I have attended certain trial sessions where the judge who speaks in good Portuguese is not understood by the accused and the witness who speak in any Bantu language. It was found that the large urban centers, considered civilized societies, which dominate the cultured norm and have a considerable number of police, guards in backyards, record more and more different criminal actions in relation to rural communities, where there are no police. These disparate facts are due to the ethical and moral values imbued in the languages of each community.

This absorbing account of relations between the Soviet Union and the leaders of anticolonial movements fighting to liberate Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau from Portuguese rule in the 1960s and 1970s is in part the fruit of Natalia Telepneva's doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Odd Arne Westad,1 whose own work looms large in the historiography of the Cold War. The book opens like a spy thriller with a Soviet military plane landing in Luanda on the day Agostinho Neto, leader of the Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA), is set to be inaugurated as the first president of independent Angola. On board the An-12 is an intelligence officer by the name of Boris Putilin, 'whose job had been to coordinate arms transfers from the Soviet Union'2 to the MPLA. Putilin is almost shot at by an Angolan solider but is rescued in time to attend the inauguration by the chief of airport security.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Based on manuscripts from the Mexican National Archive recording a 1650 Inquisition trial for astrology, this article will present a reconstruction of the story of Gaspar Riveros Vasconcelos, a “mulatto” born in Tangier, a descendant of a Portuguese father and Angolan mother. He travelled the Atlantic commercial routes – visiting Angola, Pernambuco, Cartagena de Indias, La Havana – and got involved in political discussions with Spaniards residing in mid-seventeenth century Mexico City. This period was particularly tough for Portuguese people in Spanish America, given the 1640 breach of the dynastic union of Spain and Portugal, which had been formerly achieved in 1581 by King Philipp ii. Vasconcelos’ story allows us to reflect on identity formation in time, on the concept of race, as well as on the ways in which “a persona miserable de color pardo” could deploy his agency as Afro-Portuguese in colonial Mexico society. As such, this paper aims to reconsider the relevance of individual narratives which can generate a growing awareness of the importance that Afro-descendants had in the Ibero-American world and how they could influence the process of racialization in the local context of seventeenth century New Spain.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper proposes an ethnographic theorization of the relationship between naming, translation, and subject constitution via the analysis of forms of interpellation in colonial Angola. It engages critically with systemic/structural renderings of colonial society that portray social positions as oppositional to argue for a deconstructive approach attentive to historical disjunctions between naming and social positioning. Dwelling on core signifiers in Portuguese and Umbundu, the paper describes the iterative chain of substitutions through which subjects have been constituted, that is, reduced and transformed. For instance, how are the Umbundu status signifiers ocimbundu and ocindele reduced in their respective translations as “black” and “white”? How can translation both re-enact and challenge the constitution of racialized and ethnicized categories of difference? How is this related to transformations in Angolan history? The argument put forth challenges the conventional understanding of social categories in the context of Portuguese colonialism in Angola by arguing that the performativity of naming and translation constitutes subjects via both fixation and displacement. Therefore, the possibility of transformation does not lie in the intentional action of subjects, but in their capacity to operate within the fractures of the relationship between language and society by drawing on disjunctions between signifier and signified, names and social positioning, subjective constitution and sociopolitical context.

Beside Portugal’s iconic fado genre, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2011, music scenes in Lisbon have diversified throughout the 2000s along with the affirmation of Portugal’s capital city on the stage of global attractiveness. This paper examines some music scenes in Lisbon in the late 2000s and early 2010s—especially hip-hop and Angolan kuduro played by the Luso-Angolan bands Buraka Som Sistema, and Batida, based in Lisbon. It discusses the ways in which the sampling technique has allowed for diverse forms of musical cosmopolitanism, performing connections with Africa, and the tentative affirmation by some Portuguese media in the late 2000s, of a musical Lusofonia.

Full textAbstract:
This paper looks at the role of African, Amerindian, and Portuguese peoples in shaping and spreading the Portuguese language in Brazil from an interdisciplinary approach. Drawing from secondary and primary sources – such as Antônio da Costa Peixoto’s New Book of the Mina General Language (1741) and Friar Cannecattim’s Dictionary of the Bunda or Angolan Language (1804) – it explores the interplay between language, power, and identity to historicise the process by which Portuguese became the primary language in Brazil, despite its multilingual landscape. In doing so, it challenges the idea that the spread of Portuguese and language shift was always a conscious product of the Portuguese Crown and a result of open violent imposition. On the contrary, the spread and consolidation of Portuguese deeply depended on the missionaries, the population, and symbolic colonial practices. Additionally, the fact that Portuguese prevailed as the main language spoken in Brazil has not precluded it from being profoundly intertwined with Amerindian and African languages. Such languages formed a multilingual society, being largely responsible for the differentiation between European and Brazilian Portuguese.

In this study we reflect on the teaching of Portuguese language in the Angolan schools. We assessed primary and secondary students knowledge at the end of their high school, regarding the processing and use of pronominal clitics. We seek to understand the teachers attitude throughout the development of their classes and their influence on student learning. Therefore, we administered a grammar judgment test, a correction of sentences and pronominalization, two questionnaires (one to 62 students and one to 10 Portuguese language teachers) and we observed 10 classes. As a result, it was found that more than a half of the students are unaware of the standard form of pronominal clitics placement and have greater difficulty in processing the mesoclisis, in recognizing elements that favour the occurrence of the proclisis, and in replacing terms with pronouns, in sentences where the verbal form ends in consonant. Even though, teachers use the European grammar model in their lessons as regulated, which further inhibits students’ willingness to participate in classroom discussions. As a methodological suggestion, we use the grammar workshop method proposed by Duarte (1991, 1997, 2008), with the respective adaptations.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTIn March 1961, war broke out in Northern Angola. The Portuguese authorities attributed the violence to the UPA – a nationalist movement led by Northern Angolan immigrants resident in Congo. The movement's leadership tried to keep in contact with its (potential) followers in Northern Angola by various means, pamphlets being one of the most important. Written for a local audience, these pamphlets provide an insight into the inner lines of communication – and internal hierarchies – of the nationalist movement. By using Darnton's ‘communication circuit’ model, this article investigates the processes of writing, distributing and reading the pamphlets and analyses their generic characteristics, and their position in a tradition of regional popular literacy. In so doing, an interpretation is offered of the social history of the pamphlets: they are treated as a historical subject in their own right. While they can be read as anti-colonial tracts, it is shown that the pamphlets' main concern is to establish the mandate of a leadership in exile over a constituency in Northern Angola.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of mental health among Angolan migrants living in Portugal. Three research questions guided this work: What is the influence of demographic factors on the mental health of Angolan migrants? What is the influence of acculturation factors on their mental health? What is the influence of adaptation factors on their mental health? Design/methodology/approach The sample consisted of 252 Angolan migrants living in Portugal (50.8 percent females) with a mean age of 36 years. The mean duration of stay in Portugal was 21 years. Findings The predictive factors – demographic, acculturation and adaptation factors – were significantly associated with Angolan migrants’ mental health. However, acculturation and adaptation factors accounted for a larger proportion of the explained variance in mental health problems than demographic factors. The major predictors of mental health problems were sociocultural adaptation, perceived discrimination and loneliness. Implications of the findings for future research and psychosocial interventions are discussed. Originality/value This study shed some light on the predictive factors of mental health problems among adult Angolan immigrants in Portugal, a previously neglected group of migrants in the research literature. Adding to existing knowledge on the mental health outcomes of migration, the findings suggest that, for this group, sociocultural adaptation, perceived discrimination and loneliness were the main predictors of psychological problems, rather than demographic factors. This evidence may be useful in the development of psychosocial interventions and policy to support Angolan migrants in their adaptation to Portuguese culture.

This work aims to analyze the novel O Esplendor de Portugal (1997), by António Lobo Antunes, from a postcolonial perspective. From the notion of interidentity (interidentities) articulated by Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2003), according to which the “self-representation of the Portuguese colonizer creates a chaotic disjunction between the subject and the object of colonial representation” (Santos, 2003 , p. 25), I try to understand how the evocation of the geographic, family and identity breakdown experienced by the characters Isilda, Carlos, Rui and Clarisse, Portuguese settlers in Africa in the context of the Angolan Civil War (1975-2002), prefigure, metonymically, interidentity that created the ironic subversion of the symbolic systems of representation of the colonial ethos of the “Portuguese Empire” echoed in the family microcosm, and, in this way, created under suspicion the notion of “splendor of Portugal ” popularized by the official historiography of the Portuguese Estado Novo (1933-1974).

Este trabalho tem por objetivo geral propor uma reflexão sobre a educação em Angola a partir de uma perspectiva africana e também decolonial. Como objetivos específicos, visamos, ainda: refletir sobre a construção e reconstrução do sistema educacional angolano desde o período colonial até a atualidade; compreender a influência neocolonialista portuguesa na construção da educação angolana pós-colonial; analisar o caso da Escola Portuguesa de Luanda, como dispositivo colonial. Apoiados por diversos autores, majoritariamente africanos/angolanos, tais como Alexandre, 2017; Brito Neto, 2005; Cá; Timbane; Manuel, 2020; Kebanguilako,2016; Liberato, 2014; Nguluve, 2006; entre outros, traçamos um breve panorama da educação angolana desde o período pré-colonial até o presente e tomamos a Escola Portuguesa de Luanda (PORTUGAL, 2012; 2019) como caso emblemático de neocolonialismo. Nossas discussões intentam responder à seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: de que formas a Escola Portuguesa de Luanda opera como dispositivo colonial português no território angolano? Este estudo enquadra-se como uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental em que analisamos o Projeto Pedagógico da Escola Portuguesa de Luanda, documentos legais relativos à instituição e também trabalhos realizados por pesquisadores angolanos. Com vistas a superar o ranço colonial exposto, propomos um diálogo com o pensamento decolonial (BALLESTRIN, 2013; FANON, 2022; GONZÁLEZ CASANOVA, 2007; OLIVEIRA, 2016; dentre outros) numa tentativa de problematizar os fatos e sugerir possibilidades de construção de uma educação realmente libertadora. Acreditamos que este estudo pode contribuir para a problematização de questões profundamente arraigadas no sistema educacional angolano e que precisam de atenção urgente para a construção de caminhos diferentes que realmente contemplem a liberdade.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPortuguese became one of the official languages of independent East Timor after ca. 25 years of Indonesian rule; this prevented the partial restructuring of an East Timorese variety of Portuguese in a similar way to that undergone by other Portuguese varieties (e.g., Mozambican, Angolan and Vernacular Brazilian Portuguese). We will discuss the idiosyncratic use of SE constructions in the speech of literate Portuguese-speaking East Timorese immigrants in Portugal, who will go back to East Timor and will be likely to lead language change. Given this particular link between East Timor and its diasporas, linguistic innovations in the immigration context can shed light on the initial stages of a future partially-restructured East Timorese Portuguese variety. SE constructions are highly polysemous and marked and the data show that innovative patterns are emerging, comprising deletion and generalization of the clitic as well as creative uses of these constructions, mainly observed in impersonal and spontaneous situation types. These innovative patterns can be attributed to L2 acquisition and to the interference of Tetum Dili.

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:
Abstract The way in which the history of colonialism might link up with the formation of postcolonial migrant identities remains insufficiently examined. Through a comparison between transnational business practices of Khoja Ismaili Muslim settled in the British and Portuguese colonial territories of East Africa and in contemporary Angola, the present paper aims to discuss the impact of colonial experiences in the configuration of postcolonial business cultures. Articulating several guiding empirical questions, we will attempt to show that the continuing centrality of the nation-states in which Ismaili transnational economic activities are embedded, the notion of a disadvantageous network closure, concomitant with the importance of face-to-face contacts, the mutual trust and understanding sustained through personal relations, and the tendency for national loyalty to prevail over religious belonging (whenever any potential conflict between the two exists) constitute crucial dimensions of an accumulated colonial knowledge which is significant in the analysis of the Ismaili competitive advantage in postcolonial Africa. This argument will be developed on the basis of a multi-sited ethnographic research. The U.K. and Portugal emerged as a strategic passage for our encounters with East African Ismailis from former British and Portuguese colonial territories. The current Angolan context, absent from the available literature, was selected as a postcolonial term of comparison.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: The Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ-8) is a brief self-report psychometric instrument designed to assess an individual’s reflective functioning abilities. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Angolan version of the RFQ-8, namely, to assess its factor structure and to examine its correlations with related constructs and clinical variables in a sample of the general population of Angola.A cross-sectional study was conducted with 132 participants (aged ≥18 years) with Angolan residency and nationality, recruited through non-probability, convenience and snowball sampling procedures. The online research protocol included a Portuguese translation of the RFQ-8 and a battery of self- report measures (Brief Symptom Inventory; Adult Attachment Scale – Revised; Beck Cognitive Insight Scale).Consistent with previous research, results supported a two-factor structure for the RFQ-8 (assessing certainty and uncertainty about mental states; RFQc and RFQu subscales) with satisfactory internal consistency. RFQ-8 scores also showed significant correlations to psychopathological symptoms, suggesting a close relation between uncertainty about mental states and clinical problems, consistent with the mentalization framework; statistically significant relationships with different attachment patterns that support mentalization’s developmental schema; significant correlations with cognitive insight, a construct closely related to reflective functioning. Even though the RFQ-8 was designed to assess two impairments in reflective functioning (hypermentalization and hypomentalization), it seems that only hypomentalization is adequately addressed by this instrument. Further research is thus needed to analyze the probable unidimensionality of the RFQ-8 and the viability of different scoring procedures.In conclusion, this study offers preliminary evidence on the reliability and validity of the Angolan version of this scale. Besides its usefulness in clinical assessment, it could also contribute to developing research on mentalization and the efficacy of psychotherapeutic interventions, including patients’ responses to mentalization-based treatments.

From the mid-1970s until the late 1980s, Angola hosted guerrillas fighting for the liberation of other southern African states, as well as Cuban and Soviet military advisors and civilian professionals. As the study of Cold War era liberation struggles has developed from nation-centred narratives towards both global and local perspectives, the international encounters that took place in the ambit of these struggles have attracted attention from several historians. In particular, the military training camps have come to be seen as an environment that nurtured specific kinds of social and political relationships, although little physical evidence of these camps remains. This article is based on photographs taken at Camalundu and Caculama, two sites in the Angolan Malanje province where the remains of camps are still visible. At Camalundu, Portuguese colonial architecture points to the original function of the site, while slogans painted in English and Spanish, variously referencing South African history and global revolutionary movements, bear witness to the presence of Cubans and South Africans, and provide evidence of how they saw their own role within the international politics of the day. At Caculama the secluded and defensive nature of the site and its installations provides evidence of the South African role in relation to Angolan strategic thinking. The photographs complement the existing memoirs and oral testimony about the politics of exile and about life in the camps, providing diverse evidence about the presence of liberation fighters and their relationships with the wider world. They also enable the preservation of a visual and tangible historical record which, in the absence of preservation measures, is in danger of decay beyond recognition.

Abstract In 1925 the Vatican Missionary Exhibition took place, presenting thousands of objects sent by Catholic missions around the world. Resulting from substantial efforts by the Church, the exhibition had a significant public impact, with an estimated one million visitors. It marked a critical moment in the international affirmation of the Church, as well as the reformulation and expansion of its missionary policy in the aftermath of the Great War. Catholic missions and congregations in the Portuguese colonial empire participated in the exhibition. This article focuses on the Angolan case, where the Congregation of the Holy Spirit was the main protagonist of Catholic missionisation. I examine the organisation process, the circulation of norms and objects across imperial borders, and their exhibition at the Vatican. I discuss the tensions between the pontifical message and Portuguese missionary politics, as well as the intermediary position that the Spiritans occupied.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the formation of spatial locative relativization in three African varieties of Portuguese. While research on relative constructions in Portuguese has deserved considerable attention in the literature, it tends to focus on the European and Brazilian varieties, with locative relativization being only marginally addressed. Using data extracted from spoken corpora of contemporary, urban varieties of Angolan, Mozambican, and Santomean Portuguese, we aim to discuss whether there is a correlation between syntactic and semantic variables and the selection of the two main locative relative morphemes, onde ‘where’ and que ‘that’. Overall, the three varieties at stake behave similarly with respect to the analyzed syntactic variables and follow the tendency found in Portuguese varieties toward the use of pied-piping and P-chopping as the dominant relativization mechanisms, independent of the syntactic relation between the antecedent and the relative clause. Semantically, we identified some fine-grained differences between the three varieties, with Santomean Portuguese generally being the outlier or one of the outliers. Crucially, definiteness of the head noun stands out as the one variable that plays a major role in the selection of the relative morpheme: [−definite] head nouns show a proportionally higher preference for que in both AP and STP, which is particularly visible with bare nouns in the latter. This motivates the hypothesis that less specified head nouns show a preference for the un(der)specified relative morpheme que. We further show that the role of language contact is at best very limited.

Memories from a voluntary prison. A general theory of oblivion by José Eduardo Agualusa The paper presents an analysis of A general theory of oblivion, a novel by José Eduardo Agualusa, in light of the Portuguese postcolonial paradigm, specifically by Boaventura de Sousa Santos. It presents the trajectory of the protagonist, Ludovica, as a hybrid of a representant of the past, colonial tradition and a habitant of the emerging postcolonial reality. Agualusa shows two strategies of dealing with those conditions and, in a creative effort of constructing a new Angolan identity, positions himself on the side of the memory perpetuated through time.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the perceptions of young migrants (and non-migrants), their parents, and teachers to discuss whether the school is a device of inclusion or a device of exclusion that produces inequalities. It presents qualitative and quantitative data collected in the urban areas of Lisbon and Porto. First, we analyze data from 14 focus groups, involving 94 participants, and 12 interviews. Second, we consider survey data from a sample of 1,010 youngsters of Portuguese, Angolan, and Brazilian origin. Findings suggest the school plays an ambivalent role; however, participants emphasize mostly its discriminatory and segregating role.

RESUMO: Este artigo trata do papel desempenhado pelos intelectuais nas lutas angolanas contra o colonialismo português, em defesa da independência de Angola, e na construção de um nacionalismo angolano, entre a segunda metade do século XIX e os anos 1970. Enfocamos, mais especificamente, o papel atribuído à língua portuguesa nessas lutas, uma vez que a formação intelectual dos angolanos ocorria através dessa língua lusitana. O texto apresenta um panorama histórico, enfocando a complexidade e pluralidade que caracterizou o papel dos intelectuais no processo de formação de Angola, a exemplo da existência de três partidos políticos de independência que se dividiram em torno de questões linguísticas e culturais sobre o que conta como angolanidade. Por fim, sinalizamos para as contradições e desafios que caracterizam o percurso de intelectuais na sua relação com a política.
