Summary: | This text discusses the intersection between memory, history, and literature through the figure of the hero in the short story “Balada de Xefina” (2005) and the novel As Mulheres do Imperador(2018), respectively written by João Paulo Borges Coelho and Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa – both Mozambican writers and historians. As we intend to show through recent cases in dialogue with the literary works and the historiography produced (and/or silenced) in the country, the linear and moralizing domain over the Mozambican national narrative (and thus over the considered heroes) is a discursive legitimation strategy fostered by the ruling party in an exercise of continuing to rule through the “script of liberation” (BORGES COELHO 2019). |

Argumenta-se que o domínio linear e moralizante sobre a narrativa nacional moçambicana e, portanto, sobre os considerados heróis é uma estratégia de legitimação discursiva fomentada pelo partido no poder desde a independência nacional (1975), em um exercício de continuar governando por meio do “script da libertação” (BORGES COELHO 2019), conforme pretende-se mostrar através de casos recentes em diálogo com os textos literários escolhidos e a historiografia produzida (e/ou silenciada) no país.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2021-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos pares, dossiêapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/165510.15848/hh.v14i36.1655História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 14 No. 36 (2021); 105-132História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 14 Núm. 36 (2021); 105-132História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 14 n. 36 (2021); 105-1321983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/1655/948Copyright (c) 2021 Fernanda Gallohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGallo, Fernanda2021-08-31T22:16:12Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/1655Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2021-08-31T22:16:12História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false |
