Las obras de ficción actúan como un espejo en el que se reflejan las cuestiones más significativas de cada sociedad, legitimando los roles y valores imperantes, pero posibilitando a la vez su debate y su progreso . En este volumen, académicas procedentes de universidades españolas y latinoamericanas se fijan como meta el análisis de obras artísticas, literarias, cinematográficas y televisivas que han sido populares en las últimas décadas y que han trascendido por su innovación a la hora de representar la figura materna . Los sucesivos capítulos muestran cómo los cambios sociales, culturales y tecnológicos del nuevo milenio han propiciado nuevos relatos, con más matices, sobre qué significa convertirse en madre y hasta qué punto se ha conseguido una mayor visibilidad de los procesos que acompañan esta etapa vital .

Inseparável da personalidade de Oswald de Andrade e da sedição implícita em seu chamado para a “absorção do sagrado inimigo”, o “Manifesto Antropófago” (1928) representa uma das mais arrumadas alegações do modernismo literário no Brasil .Antropofagias: um livro manifesto! convida a (re)ler as diretrizes antropológicas do pensamento oswaldiano e suas declinações nas artes e letras brasileiras . Sem pretender ser um documento histórico, o caráter manifesto deste volume visa marcar uma presença na análise do consumo cultural que distingue a produção de conteúdo estético do Modernismo, com ensaios que abordam a validade e as mutações epistemológicas de um texto em constante diálogo com os contextos crítico-históricos em que se desenvolveu a noção do que significa ser antropófago .

A frase «Da minha língua vê-se o mar», da autoria de Vergílio Ferreira, constitui já um lugar-comum que pode provocar agrado, mas também pode gerar desconfiança. Na verdade, o português é uma língua tão marítima como telúrica, e dela também se veem as montanhas, as vastas planícies, a amazónica floresta, a savana; bem como as cidades, as aldeias, as favelas ou o musseque . Como língua pluricontinental, o português já não é apenas um mero instrumento de comunicação quotidiana; é também um fator artístico, que tem propiciado a afirmação de literaturas, novas e menos novas, que vêm reclamando a revisão séria dos diversos cânones . Este volume reúne vinte estudos da autoria de investigadores de várias instituições . A variedade dos temas estudados, bem como as diferenciadas perspetivas hermenêuticas adotadas pelos ensaístas consubstanciam um importante testemunho acerca da vitalidade das literaturas em português .

This volume brings together a selection of interviews with writers and filmmakers from Cape Verde, GuineaBissau and São Tomé and Príncipe in order to examine representations and images of national identity in the postcolonial narratives of these countries . It continues and completes the exploration of the postcolonial imaginary and identity of Portuguese-speaking Africa presented in the earlier volume of interviews Speaking the Postcolonial Nation: Interviews with Writers from Angola and Mozambique (2014) . Memory, history, migration and diaspora are core notions in the recreation and reconceptualization of the nation and its identities in Cape Verdean, Guinean and São Tomean literary and cinematographic culture . By assembling different generations of writers and filmmakers, with a wide variety of perspectives on the historical, social and cultural changes that have taken place in their countries, this book makes a valuable contribution to current debates on postcolonialism, nation and identity in these former Portuguese colonies .

This book investigates the spaces of interaction between Portuguese and Brazilian modernists—specifically Oswald de Andrade, Augusto de Campos and Haroldo de Campos, Ronald de Carvalho, António Ferro, Fernando Pessoa, Mário de Sá-Carneiro—and their interpretation of nation . Most importantly, the way in which their work echoes and transfigures the Ulysses myth, to be termed Portuguese Ulyssism by Brazilian Gilberto Freyre in his reading of Luís Vaz de Camões’s epic poem The Lusiads, is analyzed, underlining the presence of a postcolonial Ulysses in the Lusophone world . The trope of the shipwreck is central to the creative production of these Atlantic modernists who, outside of their respective national literatures, interact beyond the territories of nation-states through texts on exile, national identity, and colonialism . In addition to the renowned The Lusiads, the texts studied include two issues of the Luso-Brazilian quarterly Orpheu (1915) and António Ferro’s contributions to Brazil’s Klaxon (1922, in celebration of the centenary of Brazil’s political independence from Portugal); Oswald de Andrade’s Anthropophagic Manifesto (1928) and an unpublished letter to Ferro; Fernando Pessoa’s poem “Ulysses” in Message (1934); and Haroldo de Campos’s Galaxies (1984) and “Finismundo: The Last Voyage” (1997) . In A Postcolonial Ulysses in the Lusophone World, relocations and transfigurations of the Ulysses myth inform a dialogue between the modernists of Portugal and Brazil through texts on exile, national identity, and colonialism .

The Worlds of Mia Couto

Oxford, 2020 . VIII, 184 pp . Reconfiguring Identities in the Portuguese-Speaking World. Vol. 15

pb. • ISBN 978-1-78874-594-9 CHF 62 .– / €D 51 .95 / €A 54 .40 / € 49 .40 / £ 40 .– / US-$ 60 .95 eBook (SUL) • ISBN 978-1-78874-595-6 CHF 62 .– / €D 51 .95 / €A 54 .40 / € 49 .40 / £ 40 .– / US-$ 60 .95

Mia Couto has been recognised internationally as one of the most important African authors of our times . His rapidly growing opus shifts fluidly between various modes of writing, mixing historical elements with poetic and autobiographic ones, in often unpredictable and intellectually challenging ways . With each new book, the writer multiplies various original wor(l) ds, creating new challenges for his readers . Each of Couto’s texts opens up a rhizomic world which in turn contains (an)other world(s), inviting us to review and adjust our earlier interpretations of his oeuvre as a whole . In The Worlds of Mia Couto a diverse group of literary experts sets out to explore Mia Couto’s oeuvre in relation not only to the imaginary worlds created by the author but also to the complex geographical, cultural and literary contexts that are woven into the texture of his work . While Couto has increasingly received scholarly attention, the international connections and connectivities of his work have been largely neglected so far . This book endeavours to show that Couto’s work can be read beyond its particular Mozambican and Lusophone context by paying attention to the broader African and global literary contexts, including Latin America, Asia and Europe . Mia Couto’s work is, for instance, of particular interest for rethinking, from the margins, established concepts of «World Literature», «globalisation» and the «postcolonial» . The various chapters of The Worlds of Mia Couto focus thus on some of the – often unexpected – international connections across his fictional and non-fictional work beyond the Lusophone literary space, crossing cultural, linguistic and gender boundaries .
