TITLE:

O VENTO ASSOBIANDO NAS GRUAS AND ESTUÁRIO: THE COUNTER-NARRATIVES OF THE NATION

KEY WORDS:

Nation. Body. Literature. Portugal. Writing.

PAGES: 40
BIG AREA: Lingüística, Letras e Artes
AREA: Letras
SUBÁREA: Teoria Literária
SUMMARY:

The narratives that developed Portugal as an imagined community explored the conception of the country as an empire that had colonies on various continents, so literature played an important role in Portuguese national culture. However, in contemporary times, Portuguese literature presents itself as a means of counter-narrative of the memory built during the colonial period. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to study the works O vento assobiando nas gruas (2002) e Estuário (2018), by the writer Lídia Jorge. In the novels, the protagonists' bodies, marked by visible disabilities, can be read as a metaphor for the contemporary Portuguese nation, characterized by heterogeneity and attempting to break with colonial discourse. In addition, we discuss the possibility and/or impossibility of writing in an incomplete body. In the theoretical framework of our analysis, we make use of the concepts of nation, body, writing, Portuguese literature, contemporaneity, and Portuguese colonization/decolonization.
