Resumo: Mia Couto is considered a special case in the field of African Lusopho­ne writers due to the quality of his writing. His texts are imbedded of a magical, mythical world that nevertheless depicts the reality of Lusophone Africa. These characteristics together with the exceptional character of the themes on which he focuses constitute an invitation to apply to his works the concepts derived from quantum physics and the science of cognition. In this article I bring together two different structures of thought, Western and African, in an effort to give Western readers the tools to go beyond the basic approaches to Couto’s text.

O mundo mais ou menos onírico/fantástico em que se movem as suas per­sonagens constitui-se como um apelo ao uso do ponto de vista da física quântica par a par com as abordagens mais tradicionais ao texto literário. O objectivo deste estudo prende-se com a tentativa de alargar o escopo de lei­tura dos interessados em literatura africana no sentido de aproximar duas culturas, a africana e a ocidental, separadas por tradições epistemológicas muitas vezes difíceis de conciliar.ABEC Brasil2012-04-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo avaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/2972210.22409/abriluff.v4i8.29722ABRIL – NEPA / UFF; Vol. 4 No. 8 (2012): LITERATURE AND DEMONISM; 51-66Abril – NEPA / UFF; v. 4 n. 8 (2012): LITERATURA E DEMONISMO; 51-661984-209010.22409/abriluff.v4i8reponame:Abril (Niterói)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/29722/17263Copyright (c) 2018 Abril – NEPA / UFFinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGândara, Paula2019-08-09T09:28:35Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29722Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabrilPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/oairevistaabril@vm.uff.br||nepa@vm.uff.br||uffnepa@gmail.com||idafalves@gmail.com1984-20901984-2090opendoar:2019-08-09T09:28:35Abril (Niterói) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
