Abstract(s)
A dissertação intitulada “Protagonismo da criança em Terra Sonâmbula de Mia Couto e
Se o Passado não Tivesse Asas de Pepetela: um repúdio às guerras civis” é um estudo
comparativo dos seus protagonistas, Muidinga e Himba, respetivamente, enquanto personagens
referenciais remissivas para as crianças vítimas dos conflitos civis moçambicano e angolano
aludidos por estes romances. A noção de repúdio resulta, por um lado, da análise das
circunstâncias adversas em que ambas as personagens se movem, inadequadas ao crescimento
feliz de qualquer criança, sendo a guerra apresentada como fator principal, por outro lado,
para o facto de a ficção africana lusófona pós-nacionalista se inscrever como fenómeno ao
serviço da construção nacional.
Os objetivos consistem na compreensão do protagonismo da criança nos romances
cotejados como um grito de repúdio à guerra civil, um dos males que mais afeta a África póscolonial.
A metodologia assumida é o comparativismo, por ser a adequada a este tipo de estudo,
pois em literatura esta metodologia não consiste apenas no cotejo de dois ou mais objetos, mas
também em articular os aspetos imanentes aos contextos para os quais os textos remetem.
Assim, este estudo dissertativo parte de uma contextualização histórica das duas
guerras e da situação da criança, seguido de uma abordagem justificativa do caráter
comprometido da ficção angolana e moçambicana pós-colonial. A análise obedece aos
princípios teóricos sobre a construção da personagem romanesca, nomeadamente os processos
narratológicos, axiológicos e semiótico-contextuais. E a comparação dos protagonistas tanto a
nível das semelhanças quanto das diferenças é baseada num conjunto de elementos associados
aos processos aludidos que as constroem como vítimas, nomeadamente as ações, a
caraterização, os espaços físicos e psicológicos e efeitos dessas circunstâncias sobre as suas
estruturas ideológicas.
The dissertation titled “Protagonismo da criança em Terra Sonâmbula de Mia Couto e Se o Passado não Tivesse Asas de Pepetela: um repúdio às guerras civis” is a comparative study of its protagonists, Muidinga and Himba. These characters refer to children victims of the Mozambican and Angolan civil conflicts to by these novels. The concept of repudiation comes out from the analysis of the adverse circumstances in which both characters grow up, improper to the happy and healthy growth of any child. The war is being presented as the main factor and the fact that African fiction Portuguese-speaking countries to register as a phenomenon in the service of national construction. The objectives consist in understanding the protagonist of the child in the romances compared as a repudiation of the civil war, one of the evils that affects post-colonial Africa the most. The methodology adopted is Comparative study, because it is the most adequate to this type of study, because in literature this methodology doesn’t consist only in the comparison of two or more objects but also in articulating the inherent aspects to the contexts to which the text refers. Thus, this study starts from a historical contextualization of the two wars and the situation of the child, followed by an approach justifying the compromised character of the post-colonial Angolan and Mozambican fiction. The analysis follows the theoretical principles on the construction of the novel character, namely the narratology, axiological and semioticcontextual processes. Also, the comparison of the protagonists in both the similarities and the differences is based on a set of elements associated with the processes that construct them as victims, namely the actions, characterization, physical and psychological spaces and effects of these circumstances on their ideological structures.
