Resumo: | The project "Combined and Uneven Comparisons. Rethinking the fields of African and Postcolonial literary studies within the debate on world-literature" funded by The São Paulo Research Foundation (2020/07836-0) is situated in the fields of African literary studies and postcolonial literary theory, to be addressed as two fields characterized by a significant proximity and in growing affirmation within Brazilian and global academic and critical contexts. Proposing a mapping of critical paradigms produced within the field of postcolonial studies, with particular focus on the recent developments that characterize the debate on world-literature, the project analyses a corpus of established contemporary African writers, with the aim to consolidate a new theoretical category that corresponds to the notion of (semi-)peripheral African novel. The main hypothesis is to tackle this new theoretical category as a paradigmatic literary form in order to set the basis of a new theoretical approach and also for the establishment of a possibly original field of study identified as Comparative African Literatures. Outlining the research that will be developed within the project and the state of the art from which its main objectives have been defined, the aim of this article is to draw some new comparatist avenues and critical possibilities within the fields of postcolonial and African literary studies. |

O Projeto de Pesquisa se situa no campo dos estudos literários sobre romance africano contemporâneo e de teoria literária pós-colonial a serem entendidos como campos de estudos contíguos e em crescente afirmação no contexto acadêmico brasileiro e global. A partir de um mapeamento dos paradigmas críticos produzidos no âmbito dos estudos pós-coloniais com particular enfoque nos recentes desdobramentos que pautam o debate sobre literatura-mundial, o Projeto se debruça sobre um corpus de autores africanos contemporâneos consagrados com vista à consolidação de uma categoria crítica inédita correspondente à noção de romance africano (semi-)periférico a ser entendido como forma literária paradigmática para o estabelecimento de um novo campo de estudo que corresponde à definição de Literaturas Africanas Comparadas. Ilustrando a pesquisa que será desenvolvida no Projeto, o escopo deste artigo é definir novos caminhos comparatistas e possibilidades criticas no âmbito do campos dos estudos literários africanos e pós-coloniais.
