Abstract

MORAIS, Sara. Brazil-Mozambique educational cooperation: Considerations on discourses of modernity and social distinction . Cadernos de Estudos Africanos [online]. 2018, n.36, pp.87-111. ISSN 1645-3794.

In this article I discuss some aspects of Brazilian international cooperation within educational agreements with Mozambique. I argue how the implantation of large agriculture investments and the diffusion of soap operas play a central role in the execution of these agreements, in promoting attractive images of a richness and full of opportunities Brazil. At the light of the analysis of narratives from two distinct generations of Mozambique students which studied at Brazilian universities and the observation of historical continuities in local labour practices, I discuss how ideas of development, work and modernity are pivotal to understand the effects of so called south-south cooperation.

Keywords : educational cooperation; south-south cooperation; Mozambique; Brazilian soap operas; labour practices; development.
