Resumen
FALCONI, Jessica. “To make a sea”: Mozambican literature and the Indian ocean. Diacrítica [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.3, pp.77-92. ISSN 0807-8967.
This essay proposes a critical and conceptual itinerary on the relationship between the sea and the Mozambican literature, focusing a poetic corpus built upon the representation and meaning of an iconic place as the Island of Mozambique. The representation of the Indian Ocean and the Island of Mozambique seem to represent a review process of history created by the official discourse of mozambicanness. Furthermore, the Indian Ocean finds in the literary representation a counterpoint to configure it as a wider epistemological paradigm that enables an alternative equation of the relation between space and identity, as well as the concepts of nation, identity, and, thus, national literature, providing a critical and conceptual itinerary that points to what has been defined as material culture.
