SUMMARY:

 

 

The narratives that elected Portugal as an imagined community took into account the conception of the country as an empire, which counted with colonies in different continents, that way the literature played an important role as a national culture. However, in the contemporaneity, Portuguese literature presents itself as a possibility of revisiting a memorie and it opens up to the new demands of the globalized world. In view of this, this dissertation performs a study about the romance O vento assobiando nas gruas (2002), by Lidia Jorge. It seeks to reflect about the portuguese nation from the dialogue between some of the voices that compose itself in the post Carnation Revolution scenario, focusing on the protagonist Milene Leandro, her oligophrenia, her mutilated body and the proximity with the Mata, a family of cape-verdeans in Portugal. Based on the reflections about the modern nation and the contemporary, especially in Homi Bhabha (1998), and on the specifications of Portuguese identity, colonialism and post-colonialism, in texts by Eduardo Lourenço (1999, 2001 and 2014) and Boaventura de Sousa Santos (1994, 1999, 2003), as well as assumptions of decoloniality, in Walter Mignolo (2017), we try to think about the Portuguese national imaginary. In addition, we will discuss the violence against the body of the protagonist as a metaphor of a nation that transits between the desire to shield the collective memory and the demands of the contemporary context.
