Resumo: This paper proposes to discuss arrangements made by some African literature texts in Portuguese as a way to recover data of oral tradition. Our point of departure comprises reflections about our present-day obsession about memory. Behaviors generated by globalization are mentioned, particularly those that broaden the need to see and to display, and various meanings produced by the concept "Realms of memory", created by Pierre Nora in 1984, are analysed. With such meanings one seeks to understand conflicts that are characteristic of an era that fights to preserve traces of what no longer exists. ln addition, we discuss the ways that African literatures of Portuguese language have been received as spontaneous memory support and as a reference to places that live with social practices defined by voice power and with a quick process of transformation of these practices. Such practices admitted by literature, may show themselves as resistance to the complete disappearance of whatever reserved memory is left to us.

No desenvolvimento da discussão são citados comportamentos gerados pela globalização, particularmente os que ampliam a necessidade de ver e de exibir, e analisados diversos significados produzidos pelo conceito "lugares de memória ", cunhado por Pierre Nora em 1984, com os quais se procura compreender conflitos característicos de uma época que luta por preservar vestígios do que não mais existe. O texto procura ainda discutir os modos como as literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa vêm sendo recebidas como suportes da memória espontânea e como referência a lugares que convivem com práticas sociais marcadas pela força da voz e com um processo veloz de transformação dessas práticas, que, acolhidas pela literatura, podem se mostrar como resistência ao completo desaparecimento do que nos resta de reserva de memórias.Universidade Federal Fluminense2005-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33254Gragoatá; Vol. 10 No. 19 (2005): África, new pathwaysGragoatá; v. 10 n. 19 (2005): África, novos percursos2358-41141413-9073reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33254/19241Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFonseca, Maria Nazareth Soares2020-08-18T23:25:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33254Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2020-08-18T23:25:03Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
