O MOSAICO DE IDENTIDADE EM MULHERES DE CINZAS, DE MIA COUTO

Abstract

The study brings discussions about the multifaceted identities of characters in Mulheres de cinzas, by Mia Couto. The discourse can be analyzed with perspectives of the deterritorizalization, thus, aiming like main objective the identities of the Mozambican people in the process of the colonization in the form of mosaic of the language and specific objectives as the elucidation of the discourse in the imaginary universe and the revelation of the fantastic, with symbols of myths, beliefs, dreams and reveries in the universe of the female being, in the face of the macho and oppressive tradition. The deterritorialization of the colonizer and the colonized is revealed in the discourse. The methodology adopted for the research brings together authors such as Homi Bhabha and Gilbert Durand to show the narrative locus and understanding of reverie towards liberation. Feminism and gender equality are part of the deconstruction of cultural roots. Fiction is shown beyond the frontiers of African history, uniting worlds as if they were one. Thus, the points highlighted in the chapters present the desterritorialization of the being and the dialectic of the colonized and the colonizer.
