Resumo: | Settler Colonial Studies is a theoretical approach being developed in Australia by Lorenzo Veracini (2010, 2015, 2016), inspired by Patrick Wolfe’s (1999, 2016) precursor theories. It proposes a differentiation between “colonialism” and “settler colonialism” based on the premise that the latter involves land dispossession and the literal or metaphorical disappearance of Indigenous Others, while the former is mainly concerned with the exploitation of Indigenous labour and resources. The fact that settlers “come to stay” is a crucial element in positing settler colonialism as “a structure”, whereas colonialism would be “an event” in the lives of the colonised Others. This paper adopts settler colonial theories to propose a comparative study of two modernist “social” novels by women writers in Australia and Brazil: Katharine Susannah Prichard’s Coonardoo (1929) and Rachel de Queiroz’s The Year Fifteen (1930). Both novels deal with exploitation, discrimination, racism and the dispossession of the Indigenous Other and their miscegenated descendants, from a non-Indigenous, i.e. “settler”, perspective. Elements that are crucial for settler colonialism, such as ambivalence, indigenisation and mechanisms of disavowal and transfer in several of their guises, are examined, compared and contrasted. |

Propõe uma diferenciação entre “colonialismo” e “colonialismo de colonos” com base na premissa de que a segunda envolve a desapropriação de terras e o desaparecimento literal ou metafórico de outros indígenas, enquanto a primeira se preocupa principalmente com a exploração de mão-de-obra e recursos indígenas. O fato de os colonos “virem para ficar” é um elemento crucial ao postular o colonialismo de colonos como “uma estrutura”, enquanto o colonialismo seria “um evento” na vida dos Outros colonizados. Este artigo adota as teorias coloniais de colonos para propor um estudo comparativo de dois romances “sociais” modernistas de mulheres escritores na Austrália e no Brasil: Coonardoo de Katharine Susannah Prichard (1929) e The Quinze (1930) de Rachel de Queiroz. Ambos os romances lidam com a exploração, a discriminação, o racismo e a desapropriação do Outro Indígena e seus descendentes miscigenados, de uma perspectiva não-indígena, ou seja, “colonizadora”. Elementos que são cruciais para o colonialismo colonial, como ambivalência, indigenização e mecanismos de rejeição e transferência em várias de suas formas, são examinados, comparados e contrastados.UFSC2019-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n1p8710.5007/2175-8026.2019v72n1p87Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 72 No. 1 (2019): Mapping Critical Journeys in Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies; 87-114Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 72 n. 1 (2019): Mapping Critical Journeys in Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies; 87-1142175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n1p87/38382Copyright (c) 2019 Deborah Scheidtinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessScheidt, Deborah2019-02-01T08:29:25Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/55558Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-02-01T08:29:25Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
