Resistência, intertextualidade e memória em “Nós matamos o Cão Tinhoso” de Luís Bernardo Honwana e “Nós choramos pelo Cão Tinhoso” de Ondjaki

Abstract

The present dissertation intends to analyze the resistance project contained in Nós mtamos o Cão Tinhoso (1964), by the Mozambican writer Luís Bernardo Honwana, through the literary perspective. The author, in writing the seven narratives contained in this anthology, structures his criticism of colonialism in the 1960s, present in Mozambican territory. Due to the publication of this Mozambican work, the writer Ondjaki rescued the textuality of Honwana and produced the tale Nós choramos pelo Cão Tinhoso (2007), making a mention of the Mozambican tale. Thus, concepts such as resistance, mimicry, camouflage, memory and intertextuality will be pointed out in this work, in order to guide the literary analysis of the narratives involved in this research. Thus, as theoretical support, we will take as basis Alfredo Bosi, Frantz Fanon, Homi K. Bhabha, Maurice Halbwachs, Mikhail Bakhtin and Julia Kristeva, among others. We will try, without exhausting the texts, to demonstrate how these textualities present a dialogical inscription, whose objective is to criticize the colonial systematics and the sequels it unleashed.
