Resumo: | This article deals with three Portuguese-speaking authors, seeking to place them based on certain issues, typical of postcolonial theories, and in tune with a provocation launched by Saramago, in a 1986 novel. I start by considering this provocation, in A Jangada de Pedra, about the integration of Portugal into Europe, into the West. From there I make some notes on the integrating function assumed in the canonical name of Guimarães Rosa, which arises at a decisive moment in the modernization of the country, articulating conflicting things such as the regional and the universal. I study possible similarities between the canonical model of Rosa and that of Mia Couto, who, having acted in the independence process of his country, was active in this modernizing transition. It seems to me that postcolonial theories, as well as Saramago's critical metaphor, help to think certain outlines of these two universal models, belonging to the literature of the former colonies of Portugal. To outline these models, I will make some observations about the publishing project for Antes das primeiras estórias [2011], a posthumous anthology of short stories by the young Guimarães Rosa, with a prologue by Mia Couto. I will consider possible transfers from Rosa's model to Mia Couto's. |

Comienzo considerando esta provocación, en A Jangada de Pedra, sobre la integración de Portugal en Europa, en Occidente. A partir de ahí hago algunos apuntes sobre la función integradora asumida en el nombre canónico de Guimarães Rosa, que surge en un momento decisivo en la modernización del país, articulando cosas conflictivas como lo regional y lo universal. Estudio posibles similitudes entre el modelo canónico de Rosa y el de Mia Couto, quien, habiendo actuado en el proceso de independencia de su país, fue activo en esta transición modernizadora. Me parece que las teorías poscoloniales, así como la metáfora crítica de Saramago, ayudan a pensar ciertos esbozos de estos dos modelos universales, pertenecientes a la literatura de las ex colonias de Portugal. Para esbozar estos modelos, haré algunas observaciones sobre el proyecto editorial de Antes das primeiras estórias [2011], una antología póstuma de cuentos del joven Guimarães Rosa, con prólogo de Mia Couto. Consideraré posibles transferencias del modelo de Rosa al de Mia Couto.Este artigo aborda três autores de literaturas de língua portuguesa, procurando situá-los a partir de certos questionamentos, aportados por teorias do pós-colonial, e afinados com uma provocação lançada por Saramago, em um romance de 1986. Começo considerando essa provocação, no A jangada de pedra, sobre a integração de Portugal à Europa, ao Ocidente. A partir dela, faço alguns apontamentos sobre a função integradora pressuposta no nome canônico de Guimarães Rosa, que emergiu em um momento decisivo na modernização do país, articulando coisas conflituosas como o regional e o universal. Estudo possíveis similaridades entre o modelo canônico de Rosa e o de Mia Couto, que tendo atuado no processo de independência de seu país, foi ativo nessa transição modernizadora. Parece-me que teorias do pós-colonial, assim como a metáfora crítica de Saramago, ajudam a pensar certos contornos desses dois modelos universais, pertencentes a literaturas de ex-colônias de Portugal. Com o fim de esboçá-los, farei algumas observações sobre o projeto editorial do Antes das Primeiras estórias [2011], uma antologia póstuma de contos do jovem Guimarães Rosa, prefaciada por Mia Couto.
