Abstract

RIBEIRO, Margarida Calafate. Other voices rising - Ana Paula Tavares replies to Luis de Camões. Ex aequo [online]. 2008, n.17, pp.119-129. ISSN 0874-5560.

Reading the poetry of Ana Paula Tavares, I will argue that the binary of power and knowledge, basis of 19th and 20th century colonialism, has been reappropriated, subverted, multiplied and cannibalized, revealing other identities. This process thus initiates a postcolonial time of possible access and appreciation of other knowledges, other powers, expressed originally in other languages, sounds and writings, and nowadays transmitted through the Portuguese language.

Keywords : power; knowledge; poetry.
