Resumo: This article is a review of Mia Couto’s novel Venenos de Deus, Remédios do Diabo, highlighting some representations of aspects which refer to themes such as illness and cure in the cultural universe of Mozambique. For this, it is proposed to read the fictional narrative of Mia Couto under the over­lapping lenses of history, social sciences and certain assumptions of social medicine, in order to verify the hypothesis that the author builds his cri­ticism of Western knowledge hegemony unveiling alternative worldviews engendered in the cultural practices of African peoples.---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/abriluff2018n21a523.

Para tanto, propõe-se a leitura da narrativa ficcional de Mia Couto sob as lentes das imbricações com os campos da história, das ciências sociais e de certos pressupostos da medicina social, a fim de verificar a hipótese de que o autor constrói sua crítica à hegemonia do saber ocidental, desvelando cos­movisões alternativas engendradas nas práticas culturais de povos africanos. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/abriluff2018n21a523.ABEC Brasil2018-12-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo avaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/2996310.22409/abriluff.v10i21.29963ABRIL – NEPA / UFF; Vol. 10 No. 21 (2018): New writings, new epistemologies; 35-52Abril – NEPA / UFF; v. 10 n. 21 (2018): Novas escrituras, novas epistemologias; 35-521984-209010.22409/abriluff.v10i21reponame:Abril (Niterói)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/29963/17504Copyright (c) 2018 Abril – NEPA / UFFinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira dos Santos Junior, José Weltonda Rocha e Silva, Rejane Vecchia2019-08-09T09:34:34Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29963Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabrilPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/oairevistaabril@vm.uff.br||nepa@vm.uff.br||uffnepa@gmail.com||idafalves@gmail.com1984-20901984-2090opendoar:2019-08-09T09:34:34Abril (Niterói) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
