Resumo: This work addresses the opposition between the Angolan new man, idealized during the liberation struggles, against the rise of the new Angolan man, forged from capitalist values in the 2005 novel “Predadores”. The tensions outlined by the utopia-dystopia conjugation, ie, new man-new man, translate, to a good extent, not only the problems facing Angola today, but also the central element of Pepetela’s literary activity: the search for identifications to be thought from the failures that mark the two subjective models – as well as the interpretations and adaptations made from such profiles. To study the work, we will resort in particular to Fanon (1979), Frade (2007) and Mudimbe (2012).

Os tensionamentos delineados pela conjugação utopia-distopia, ou seja, homem novo-novo homem, traduzem, em boa medida, não somente as problemáticas enfrentadas por Angola na atualidade, mas o elemento central da atuação literária de Pepetela: a busca por identificações a serem pensadas a partir das falhas que marcam os dois modelos subjetivos – bem como as interpretações e adaptações realizadas a partir de tais perfis. Para estudarmos a obra, recorreremos em especial a Fanon (1979), Frade (2007) e Mudimbe (2012).Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-06-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoes/article/view/3577010.15448/1983-4276.2020.1.35770Navegações; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2020); e35770Navegações; v. 13 n. 1 (2020); e357701983-42761982-852710.15448/1983-4276.2020.1reponame:Navegações (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoes/article/view/35770/19727https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDias, Mariana Sousa2020-08-10T18:47:00Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/35770Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoesPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoes/oai||revistanavegacoes@pucrs.br1983-42761982-8527opendoar:2020-08-10T18:47Navegações (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
