Resumo: Here a brief assessment of Mia Couto’s biography is made, particularly of those aspects that played a role indispensable in his formation as a writer, as follows: his experience with foreign cultures (at home, the West; in the streets, the story tellers, as he would call them), and in a special way, his jobs as a journalist and as a biologist, which allowed him to travel through diverse spaces in Mozambique and, with that, to make contact with the cultural diversity of his own country. It is worth to stress such aspects, since they made possible for the author not only to get in touch with rural cosmovisions, but also to make a reading still more thorough of its Nature, its rivers and lands, resulting, in relation to his literature, in the exploration of a number of possibilities to build the literary spaciality, in a way to revive, by means of the magic of the word, the grey martial legacy of human greed.

Cumpre aqui ressaltar tais facetas, posto que elas possibilitaram ao autor não apenas o contato com as cosmovisões rurais, como também uma leitura ainda mais apurada dos espaços moçambicanos, sua Natureza, seus rios e terras, resultando, no que toca à literatura, na exploração das inúmeras possibilidades de se constituir a espacialidade literária, de modo a avivar pela magia da palavra o cinza bélico legado pela ganância humana.Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina2011-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_Cultural/article/view/77310.19177/rcc.v6e22011419-440Revista Crítica Cultural; v. 6 n. 2 (2011): Edição Especial: Teoria, crítica e literaturas africanas; 419-4401980-64931980-6493reponame:Crítica Cultural (Online)instname:Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL)instacron:UNISULporhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_Cultural/article/view/773/pdf_26Daverni, Rodrigo Ferreirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-09-30T20:12:38Zoai:portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br:article/773Revistahttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_CulturalPRIhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_Cultural/oairamayana.lira@gmail.com1980-64931980-6493opendoar:2016-09-30T20:12:38Crítica Cultural (Online) - Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL)false
