Estórias sem luz elétrica, de Ondjaki: infâncias, oralidades e imaginários

Abstract

The research has the proposal to examine based on the relations between Literature and History, with its convergences and divergences, the representations of childhood and the complexities that involve children's and youth literature, the presence of oral tradition and its imagery constructions in Ondjaki's writing, from Estórias sem luz elétrica, trilogy composed of works A bicicleta que tinha bigodes (2012), Uma escuridão bonita (2015) and O convidador de pirilampos (2018). The research goes through the dimensions of The History and Politics of Angola and its interlace with Angolan literature, especially in the clipping of children's and youth literature, in which it is possible to identify elements that point out how Angolan literary production aimed at children and young people promotes disruptions of paradigms in relation to the universalizing conceptions of children's and youth literature. The study of bibliographic character privileges the analyses of the corpus among themselves, in the search to highlight the valorization of literary production for youth (children and young people), the composition of this literature with children's characters in the post-conflict context, present in the trilogy, the childhoods and memories imbricated with the sociohistorical context of Angola and the book as materiality for the constructions of the reader's imaginaries. The theoretical questions of the research will be based on Jenkins (2014), Hunt (2010), Mourão (1978; 2007), Macêdo (2008), Guelengue (2014), Padilha (2011), Bosi (2003), Mata (2006), Nikolajeva; Scott (2011) and among other.
