The Eruption of Insular Identities
The Eruption of Insular Identities explores themes common to the literatures of the Azores and Cape Verde, two isolated archipelagos in the former Portuguese empire but contemporaneously in the Portuguese-speaking world. In the 1930s, writers from both archipelagoes initiated projects to explore acorianidade and caboverdianidade, firmly placing narratives within their respective regional spaces, a tradition that would be continued by following generations. Despite vast differences in the realities in the two archipelagos in terms of race and politics, the insularity lent itself to two bodies of literature with striking similarities. The authors aim is to set out these similarities as a means...

Legacies of the Portuguese Colonial Empire
Decolonization represented the end of colonial rule, but did not eradicate imperial and colonial categories and mythologies. Situated in the wider context of European colonial legacies, this book looks at the legacies of the Portuguese empire in today's Portugal. Using an interdisciplinary agenda, with contributions from experts in the fields of history, anthropology, literature, and sociology, the several case studies included in the volume look at a wide range of colonial legacies. These include a set of commemorative practices that feed on imperial mythologies, old colonial and racial classifications that condition citizenship rights, and post-imperial modes of culture consumption. Legacies of the Portuguese Colonial Empire is the first book written so far in English on this topic, enabling the Portuguese case to enter into a broader dialogue with other national experiences relating to the legacies of colonialism and empire in today's Europe.
Authentizität und Identität
Elisa Tavares befasst sich in diesem Buch mit dem Batuku, einer mündlichen Tradition aus Kap Verde, die Dichtung, Musik und Tanz in sich vereint. Es kombiniert linguistische und ethnologische Herangehensweisen, um vor dem Hintergrund der Medialisierung der kapverdischen Gesellschaft zu untersuchen, in welchem Verhältnis Tradition und Wandel im Batuku stehen und um aufzuzeigen, wie sich dies auf seine Authentizität auswirkt. Es wird die Bedeutung des Batuku sowie die Funktionen, die diese Kommunikationsform im Laufe der Geschichte erfüllte, analysiert. Zudem wird diskutiert, inwiefern die Praxis des Batuku, die in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten so gewaltige Veränderungen erfahren hat, in ihrer jetzigen Form noch identitätsstiftend ist.
Insularité et littérature aux îles du Cap-Vert
Selon les légendes, les îles du Cap-Vert, qui s'égrènent au large du Sénégal, seraient les débris de l'Atlantide, le mythique continent englouti. Ces îles arides, longtemps inhabitées, ont été cependant le lieu de rencontre des Portugais, qui les ont peuplées dès le XVe siècle, et des Africains, venus du continent, pour la plupart en esclavage. Est-ce le souvenir du cataclysme originel, auquel se mêlent les sentiments qu'éveille l'insularité, et les apports du métissage qui donnent une telle vitalité à la culture capverdienne ? Si la musique des îles du Cap-Vert est connue en France et en Afrique d'expression française, sa littérature l'est moins. Cet ouvrage présente...
