Resumo: Historical and sociological discoveries have contributed decisively in literary criticism. Once the post-colonial entered the academy, issues hitherto forgotten by hegemonic critical studies were brought into question, leading researchers to develop new instruments to deal with these new problems. Therefore, in order to make a contribution in the context of the Community of Portuguese-speaking African Nations, we gathered a few critical studies on the process of colonization. Two structural elements of (post-)colonial African societies resulted of this analysis, in a very clear way: cultural hybridity and social dualism. The identification of these structural elements of Lusophone colonialism allows us to perceive issues still present in Portugal’s former colonies in Africa. In this study, we intend to outline the main points listed by postcolonial critics about these elements, as well as suggest to studies on African literature of Portuguese language a critical path in which hybridity and dualism are analyzed as a legacy of colonization.

Assim que os estudos pós-coloniais adentraram a academia, problemas até então olvidados pelos estudos críticos hegemônicos foram trazidos à baila, levando estudiosos a desenvolverem novo instrumental para lidar com esses novos problemas. Portanto, a fim de que se possa contribuir no contexto dos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Português, reuniram-se os estudos de alguns críticos da colonização. Evidenciou-se, de forma contundente, dois elementos que são estruturais às sociedades africanas (pós-)coloniais: o hibridismo cultural e o dualismo social. A identificação desses elementos estruturais à colonização permite constatar os problemas internos ainda presentes nas colônias portuguesas na África. Assim, neste estudo, nosso objetivo consiste em esboçar os principais aspectos arrolados por críticos pós-coloniais a respeito desses elementos, bem como sugerir aos estudos das literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa um caminho crítico em que o hibridismo e o dualismo sejam analisados como uma herança da colonização.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2012-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/9378Letrônica; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2011): Diálogos e suas interfaces & Literaturas Lusófonas; 155-166Letrônica; v. 4 n. 2 (2011): Diálogos e suas interfaces & Literaturas Lusófonas; 155-1661984-4301reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/9378/8002Martorano Martini, Luís Franciscoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-19T17:35:23Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/9378Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2016-10-19T17:35:23letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
