No Fútila, no Mayombe: modernidade, desenvolvimento e riscos no tempo de paz em Cabinda - Angola

Neste estudo coloca-se como questão as relações contraditórias de integração entre duas localidades de Cabinda, província de Angola, com as atividades de exploração de recursos naturais, como petróleo e madeira: a aldeia de Fútila, nas proximidades do Campo do Malongo, onde se concentram as atividades petrolíferas sob a direção da Chevron-Texaco e a vila de Buco Zau, imersa em território contíguo à Reserva Florestal do Mayombe. Como eixo conceitual priorizou-se a modernidade, o desenvolvimento e o risco; como contexto mais geral, a Reconstrução de Angola após estabelecidos os Acordos de Paz em 2002, quando se percebe, em termos de concepção do desenvolvimento e da modernização, o estímulo a uma economia dirigida pelos interesses da exportação de bens primários como petróleo e madeira, apesar do forte apelo ao chamado desenvolvimento sustentável. Situando a constituição de Angola enquanto país integrado ao processo de modernidade, desde colônia portuguesa até a superação dos trinta anos de Guerra Civil, iniciados após a conquista da independência em 1975, procurou-se refletir sobre o significado, para populações mais diretamente atingidas por empreendimentos exportadores, da adoção do modelo de desenvolvimento sinônimo de crescimento econômico nas ações governamentais pela reconstrução do país. Atingidas muito mais na exclus��o, procurou-se aqui evidenciar de que maneira se promove a vida, se resiste em meio à opulência, efetivamente se esforçam essas populações para superar os constrangimentos a elas impostos, de ordem cultural, social e político, assim como ambiental, relacionados às atividades de exploração dos recursos naturais. De outro lado, objetivou-se também perceber o significado das exigências ambientais em estratégias de legitimação empreendidas nas atividades de exploração dos recursos naturais, com vistas a mitigar os efeitos desfavoráveis no meio social e ambiental que as envolve. Em conclus��o, apresenta-se incontestavelmente a face desintegradora de modos de vida locais, baseados na pesca, pequena agricultura e coleta, sob o risco imposto pelas atividades exportadoras, sem, no entanto, oportunizar ainda a integração do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento como liberdade substantiva, isto é, no sentido de propiciar a estas populações condições de vida digna, de operar estratégias inclusive políticas de reconhecimento coletivo e de valorização de outras racionalidades mais adequadas a uma reapropriação social da natureza.

A reconstrução histórica da cabanagem em “Lealdade” e da guerra civil moçambicana em “As Duas sombras do rio”

Nesta tese, pretendemos analisar comparativamente a reconstrução histórica da Cabanagem e da Guerra Civil Moçambicana nos romances Lealdade (1997), de Márcio Souza e As duas sombras do rio (2003), de João Paulo Borges Coelho. Para tanto, apresentaremos um breve percurso histórico da colonização brasileira e moçambicana, bem como o período da independência e pós-independência, além do percurso teórico sobre o romance histórico, resistência, memória, bem como a teoria sobre o espaço, nesse caso o rio, que utilizamos como ferramenta de análise. Utilizando o rio como fio condutor de nossa análise. Na obra de Borges Coelho, a análise foi feita a partir das travessias das personagens pelos rios que foram desencadeadas pela chegada da guerra civil. Fixamos nossa leitura em Leónidas Ntsato personagem que metaforiza Moçambique dividido em dois pela guerra civil e destacamos o papel do narrador neste romance. Na narrativa de Márcio Souza acompanhamos as viagens de Fernando, narrador do romance, que tem sua biografia entrelaçada aos acontecimentos que desencadearão a Cabanagem anos mais tarde. Cada um com seu estilo, os dois romancistas revisitam as agruras das duas guerras que tem como palco o Norte do Brasil e de Moçambique que s��o espaços periféricos desde os tempos coloniais.

Identidades e diferenças: o caso da guerra civil na antiga Iugoslávia

Abstract: The civil war in the former Yugoslavia (1991 - 1995) had a strong ethnicreligious component. In an attempt to maintain the cohesion of an artificially created state post-first World War, identities were sought and accepted - and institutionalized - the differences between the various peoples that constituted the "land of the South Slavs". From the 1980s the differences were highlighted during the war and taken to the extreme, especially in the territories of Croatia and BosniaHerzegovina. From literature and the author's personal experience and using concepts of culture, ethnicity, identity, difference, belonging, nation and state, the text shows how the ethnic-religious differences were used during the civil war in Yugoslavia to claim possession of territories, strengthen discourse of the impossibility of coexistence, overvalue potential threats and fear and justify the perpetration of crimes against humanity.
