Resumo: This paper discusses the work of Abdulai Sila [1958-], and, more especifically, Dois tiros e uma gargalhada (2013), last publication by the author. We are going to investigate how two cultural systems of representation – the african and the western – aprehend history and how these systems interact in contemporary times. To this end, we will discuss the identities’ figuration of the main characters, as well as verify networks and alterity relations, spatiotemporal intersections and forms of identification with tradition. We suspect, then, that there is in the work of this author an understanding of history that recovers the african cultural magic in contrast to the inevitability of the conception of history posed by the west.

Investigaremos como dois sistemas culturais de representação – o africano e o ocidental – apreendem a questão da História e de como esses sistemas se interagem na contemporaneidade. Para tanto, iremos discutir a figuração da identidade dos principais personagens de Sila, verificar neles redes e relações de alteridade, intersecções espaço-temporais e formas de identificação com a tradição. Suspeitamos, enfim, que há, nesse autor, um entendimento da História que recupera a magia cultural africana em contraposição à fatalidade da concepção de História posta pelo ocidente.Universidade de São Paulo.
