Resumo: This work has two objectives: the first one is to show the full relevance of the postcolonial/ (Afro) decolonized turn into the construction of a counter-epistemology of the colonized African cultural subject. In other words, for the colonized subject, such a counter-epistemology performs the function of decolonizing the imageries by a questioning of the coloniality of the Western epistemology and knowledge turned to a universal perspective. The second objective is that ̶ as it remains a few months to commemorate the birthday of the prolific and polygraph African- Colombian author Manuel Zapata Olivella (1920-2004) ̶ this article enables to put the writer in the place he deserves to be: the place of an African subject in the Americas, whose abundant cultural and thought production was influenced by the concept of African Muntu. By employing this African framework in his cultural production, Olivella unleashes the decolonization of the imageries and epistemologies.---Original in French.

La première, c’est de saisir toute l’importance du tournant postcolonial/afro-décolonial dans la construction d’une contre-épistémologie propre au sujet culturel colonisé africain. En d’autres termes, pour le sujet colonisé, cette contre-épistémologie sert à décoloniser les imaginaires, à partir d’un questionnement de la colonialité de l’épistémologie et du savoir donnés pour universels par l’occident. La deuxième chose, c’est que ̶ à quelques mois de la commémoration du centenaire de la naissance du prolixe et polygraphe auteur africain-colombien Manuel Zapata Olivella (1920-2004) ̶ cet article puisse le situer à sa juste place. Celle d’un sujet culturel colonisé africain des Amériques dont l’abondante production culturelle et la pensée, portées et révolutionnées par le concept de Muntu africain, participent de la décolonisation des imaginaires et de l’épistémologie.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MANUEL ZAPATA OLIVELLA, O MUNTU AFRICANO E A DESCOLONIZAÇÃO DOS IMAGINÁRIOS E EPISTEMOLOGIAS NA AMÉRICA LATINAEste trabalho tem dois objetivos. O primeiro deles é mostrar toda a relevância do giro pós-colonial/(afro)de-colonial na construção de uma contra-epistemologia própria ao sujeito cultural colonizado africano. Dito com outras palavras, para o sujeito colonizado tal contra-epistemologia desempenha a função de descolonizar os imaginários, a partir de um questionamento da colonialidade da epistemologia e do saber ocidentais voltados a uma perspectiva universal. O segundo objetivo é que ̶ quando faltam alguns meses da comemoração ao aniversário do prolixo e poligrafo autor africano-colombiano Manuel Zapata Olivella (1920-2004) ̶ este artigo possibilite colocá-lo em seu merecido lugar. O lugar de um sujeito africano nas Américas, cuja abundante produção cultural e de pensamento era influenciada pelo conceito de Muntu africano. Ao empregar este referencial africano em sua produção cultural, Olivella acaba por desencadear a descolonização dos imaginários e das epistemologias.---Original em francês.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2020-01-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartigo de literaturaartigos de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/4501010.12957/matraga.2019.45010Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJ; v. 26 n. 48 (2019): Literaturas Africanas e da Diáspora Africana; 574-593MATRAGA - Journal published by the Graduate Program in Letters at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); Vol. 26 No. 48 (2019): African and African Diaspora Literatures; 574-5932446-69051414-7165reponame:Matraga (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/45010/32129Akassi, Clément Animaninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-02-03T17:02:49Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/45010Revistahttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matragaPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matraga/oai||letrasmatraga@uerj.br2446-69051414-7165opendoar:2020-02-03T17:02:49Matraga (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)false
