Lourenço da Silva Mendonça and the Black Atlantic Abolitionist Movement in the Seventeenth Century
This groundbreaking study tells the story of the highly organised, international legal court case for the abolition of slavery spearheaded by Prince Lourenço da Silva Mendonça in the seventeenth century. The case, presented before the Vatican, called for the freedom of all enslaved people and other oppressed groups. This included New Christians (Jews converted to Christianity) and Indigenous Americans in the Atlantic World, and Black Christians f…
The grammar of violence of subalternized women
This text studies three contemporary African films that look at the westernized patriarchal societies in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Senegal. The female main characters in the Senegalese Madame Brouette (2002), by Moussa Sène Absa, the Burkinabe Frontières ( Borders ) (2017), by Apolline Traoré, and the Nigerian The Ghost and the House of Truth (2019), by Akin Omotoso, all face economic and gender subalternization and end up being involved in viole…
Resistência, necropolítica e fantasias de vingança - Bacurau (2019), de Kleber Mendonça Filho e Juliano Dornelles
Bacurau (BACURAU, 2019) de Kleber Mendonça Filho e Juliano Dornelles foi o filme brasileiro mais polêmico de 2019. Estreou no Festival de Cannes 2019 onde obteve o Prêmio especial do Júri e depois ganhou mais distinções nacionais e internacionais. Foi elogiado e criticado como filme de resistência contra o atual governo de Bolsonaro, seu discurso sexista, racista e homofóbico. Este artigo procura analisar três aspetos centrais do filme: 1) a mane…
The historical roots of multicultural unity along the Upper Guinea Coast and in Guinea-Bissau
Lusofonia or lusophony is often defined as an identity shared by people in areas that were once colonised by Portugal, which in Africa include Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and São Tomé and Príncipe. Lusofonia assumes that in these places people share something – a language, certainly, but also a history and culture rooted in the Iberian Peninsula. In some ways it is a re-articulation of Gilberto Freyre’s lusotropicalismo, the ide…
Flora Gomes’s Postcolonial Engagement and Redefinition of Amílcar Cabral’s Politics of National Culture in Nha Fala
This article looks at the politics of culture in modern Guinea-Bissau in the film Citation and, in particular, Flora Gomes’s re-interpretation of the country’s traditional understanding of national culture and engagement with oral tradition as a form of questioning instability, political unrest, disunity, and dissenting voices. It argues that it is impossible to examine Gomes’s representation of Guinea-Bissau’s national culture without an underst…
Europe in Africa and Africa in Europe
European encounters fostered in the early modern period with West Africa have provided us with interesting frameworks from which to engage in the construction of difference, race within Western European space and with terms for rethinking European identity that transcend the cosmopolitan and colonial pretensions. Drawing on early historical records, especically the Portuguese experience in West Africa, this article seeks to contest standard histo…
African Orality in Iberian Space
This article examines Marques de Barros's pioneering work, seeing the exchanges between Africans and Portuguese in Portugal itself in terms of literature and oral storytelling. Looking at the role of African oral literature in shaping Portuguese socio-cultural space, it examines how Barros uses this role to question the myth of racial discourse of the empire. It posits that the Iberian Peninsula has been Africanized through orality; rather than s…
