Elementos Históricos e Ficcionalidade em Saga d’Ouro
Abstract:
This essay proposes an analysis of Saga d’Ouro (2019) by the Mozambican author Aurelio Furdela. In this Novel, our author skillfully blends historic information with literary art. The narrative takes place in Mwenemutapa, which covers Zimbabwe and a part of the land that is now Mozambique. Through the different stories of the characters, the author portrays the lives of different groups from various perspectives, including political, economic and cultural. Following H.R. Jauss and the Reception theory, the aim of our analysis is to understand the possible intention and critical relationship between past and present, to consider the current state of Mozambican society and its development model to understand the importance of the historical novel in preserving the memory of the past, avoiding the repetition of mistakes in the present.

Memória e Identidade em Tornado, de Teresa Noronha
Abstract:
This essay proposes a brief study of Tornado (2021), by Teresa Noronha, focusing on the exploration of individual, collective, and post-colonial identities. The methodological framework will rely on a Memory Studies approach, contemplating concepts such as “trauma”, “collective memory”, “feminine countermemory”, and “memory wars”. We aim to recontextualize these conceptual tools beyond Holocaust studies, demonstrating their pertinence for the research put forth here. As such, we present a critical, feminist, and feminine reading of Noronha’s novel focused on its main character.

Crimes e Violência no Índico Moçambicano Rabhia de Lucílio Manjate e a Ilha dos Mulatos de Sérgio Raimundo
Abstract:
This article focuses on two contemporary Mozambican novels: Rabhia by Lucílio Manjate, published in 2017 and A Ilha dos Mulatos by Sérgio Raimundo, published in 2020. Although with different structures and narrative options, as will be seen throughout the article, both the novels look at contemporary Mozambican society through the prism of crime and mystery, providing a multifaceted portrait of post-coloniality in this African country. As will be seen, in these narratives, postcoloniality emerges marked by conflicting memories and complex gender, racial and inter-generational relations, as the result of the multiple situations of violence experienced by the country during historical, political and economic transitions. On the other hand, in both narratives, the representation of the millenary historical and identity relationship between Mozambique and the universe of the Indian Ocean will be analysed, approaching the topics of migration, racial and cultural miscegenation, as well as the diffusion of Islam as a transnational religious and cultural element.

A Categoria de Poético e a Meditação sobre a Escrita em Marizza de Mélio Tinga
Abstract:
This essay presents a brief study on the novel Marizza (2021), by Mélio Tinga, based on the study and conception of the poetic record that the narrative organizes, as well as on its metanarrative organization, of meditation on writing. The recomposition of the myth of Orpheus in the novel, as well as a set of fragmentary intertexts that compose it, allows the reader to understand the reflective, and somewhat philosophical, dimension that the author and narrator make about beauty, love, passion and about literary life as an institution (writing, edition, proofreading, reception and circulation of the book).

Cultura, Cristianismo e Modernidade no Romance Mueda nos Labirintos dos Ritos de Iniciação de Carlos Paradona Rufino Roque
Abstract:
The theme “Culture, Christianity and Modernity in the novel ‘Mueda: nos labirintos dos ritos de iniciação’ by Carlos Paradona Rufino Roque” focuses on the initiation rites of Mozambican culture in the encounter with Christianity and Modernity. Stage of the novel, Mueda is a village in the Cabo Delgado province and the cultural capital of the Makonde people. The aim of the work is to compare the constitutive elements of the initiation rites with the classic myth. Tempering history and fiction, the novel reveals the mysteries of the initiatory liturgy and the syncretic environment of the inhabitants of Mueda, the target of the author’s criticism. The search for the most beautiful young woman through the initiation rites, attracts young people to Mueda. The aim is to conquer the most beautiful woman, which inscribes the novel on the same level as the classical myths such as Paris and Helen or Hippomenes and Atalanta.

Modelos de Construção do Romance Africano em Nyembête ou As Cores da Lágrima
Abstract:
This study is based on Calane da Silva’s proposal, as an essayist, on the writing of the new African novel for the 21th century, which in my view still needs debate, but which can already be analyzed from the author’s own proposal, in his novel Nyembête ou as cores da lágrima. I demonstrate, with this research, the characteristics that allow us to accept the work as a formation novel, a designation that I borrow from Puga (2016). I argue that it is a narrative with neo-romantic elements, namely polyphony and death with the possibility of return, factually found in the Traditional Bantu Culture and in the Apostolic Catholic Tradition, and I also consider its perspective of a self-fictional novel (Faedrich, 2015), bearer of biographical marks of its author. In developing this research, I do so in the knowledge that it is a different conception of writing than what is usual to find in Calane da Silva – prose writer and short story writer (because he was also a poet). Added to this, in this article I observe that the author takes an approach to spirituality, centered on his studies on Spiritual Anthropology.

Subversão do Romance Policial e Questões de Memória em A Ilha dos Mulatos
Abstract:
This article presents a study about A Ilha dos Mulatos (2020), by Sérgio Raimundo, based on the structure of the detective novel, which is subverted and expanded to the level of narration, creating a game of masks in order to uncover the narrative voices. It deals with the theories of memory and the way memory is treated in the novel, unfolding in the notion of post-memory. Articulating memory as one of the necessary elements for the discovery of the guilty in the framework of the crime novel, we verify that it also turns out to be subverted in the writing of this novel.
