Resumo: | Much has been written about the traumatic experience of the ‘returned’ to Portugal, after the colonial period in African countries. However, some recently publicated novels - notably, Caderno de memórias coloniais (Isabela Figueiredo, 2009), and O retorno (Dulce Maria Cardoso, 2012) - retake this subject through a subjective discourse, focusing family memories, forty years after the independence of former colonies. In a postcolonial feminist perspective, we can identify in these novels some particular gender and race injunctions that exist today, such as traces of a unresolved colonial memory. This article intends to investigate who are the subjects of these memory discourses that put into question the colonial-patriarchal order, situated on the margins, which enable them to build a conter-narrative of colonial memory.---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21881/abriluff.2016n16a342 |

Entretanto, alguns romances de publicação mais recente – nomeadamente, Caderno de memórias coloniais, de Isabela Figueiredo (2009), e O retorno, de Dulce Maria Cardoso (2012) - retomam o tema pela chave da memória: subjetiva, familiar e histórica, ensejando uma reaproximação às experiências vividas pelos retornados, quarenta anos passados da independência das ex-colônias. Numa perspectiva feminista e pós-colonial, podemos identificar na leitura dos romances algumas particulares injunções de gênero e raça que subsistem ainda hoje, como rastros da memória colonial por resolver. Este artigo busca investigar esse aspecto, ao mesmo tempo em que procura identificar quem são e o que dizem os sujeitos que, colocando em xeque a ordem a colonial-patriarcal, acabam por se situar à margem da mesma, o que lhes permite, na forma do relato de memória ou de pós-memória, contruir uma contranarrativa da memória colonial.---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21881/abriluff.2016n16a342ABEC Brasil2016-07-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo avaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/2989410.22409/abriluff.v8i16.29894ABRIL – NEPA / UFF; Vol. 8 No. 16 (2016): VOYAGE, DISLPLACEMENTS, DIFFERENCE; 119-135Abril – NEPA / UFF; v. 8 n. 16 (2016): VIAGEM, DESLOCAMENTOS, DIFERENÇA; 119-1351984-209010.22409/abriluff.v8i16reponame:Abril (Niterói)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/29894/17435Copyright (c) 2018 Abril – NEPA / UFFinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSchmidt, Simone Pereira2019-08-09T09:32:40Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29894Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabrilPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/oairevistaabril@vm.uff.br||nepa@vm.uff.br||uffnepa@gmail.com||idafalves@gmail.com1984-20901984-2090opendoar:2019-08-09T09:32:40Abril (Niterói) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
