Resumo: | This paper examines the accounts of Socwatsha kaPhaphu and Baleka kaMpitikazi, as registered by colonial administrator James Stuart, in Natal and Zululand (in present-day South Africa) between the 1890s and 1920s, with emphasis on the memories referring to the consolidation of Zulu political power during early 19th century. The documentation is considered through the concept of “contact zones” (as suggested by Mary Louise Pratt), demarcating the interactive dimensions of colonial encounters, including discourses constructed with the goal of reinforcing distinctions between “colonizers” and “colonized”. Although Stuart’s framework for memory is committed to the elaboration of colonial policies for the treatment of the “native” population, the testimonies reveal a re-elaboration of the past based on memory and orality, in particular, the different alignments of power and political strategies undertaken by their communities in facing the expanding Zulu power. |

A documentação analisada pode ser considerada a partir da noção de “zonas de contato” (expressão de Mary Louise Pratt) para demarcar as dimensões interativas dos encontros coloniais, mesmo em discursos construídos com o fito de reforçar distinções entre “colonizadores” e “colonizados”. A despeito do enquadramento da memória promovido por Stuart, comprometido com os meandros da elaboração de políticas coloniais de tratamento à população “nativa”, os testemunhos evidenciam a reelaboração do passado a partir da memória e da oralidade, em especial, os diferentes alinhamentos de poder e estratégias políticas empreendidas por suas comunidades no contexto de expansão do poder zulu.UFBA2022-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/4863710.9771/aa.v0i66.48637Afro-Ásia; No. 66 (2022); 273-315Afro-Ásia; n. 66 (2022); 273-3151981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/48637/28476Copyright (c) 2023 Evander Ruthieri da Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Evander Ruthieri da2023-03-18T14:17:32Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/48637Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2023-03-18T14:17:32Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false |
