RESISTANCE TO THE COLONIALITY AND COLONIAL SUBSERVIENCE. THE LEGACY OF COLONIALISM IN JORGE BARBOSA AND VIRIATO DA CRUZ AFRICAN POETRY

From the 70's, Africa was a massive wave of independence process. However, such processes are not meant processes of decolonization. According with Fanon (1961) also decolonization is based not only on the territorial and political, but mostly mental. While some former colonies resist colonial hegemony still visible in the local culture, others are colluding with the colonizing process. Thus, it will analyze the subservience and resistance to colonization in Lusophone African poetry, especially with the Angolan Viriato da Cruz, with the poem MaKézú (1961) and Cape Verdian Jorge Barbosa with Prelude (1956).

Poetry and transcendence in the A Túnica Inconsútil, of Jorge de Lima

We intend to study this text as Jorge de Lima establishes the relationship between two distinct activities, poetry and religion, for the elaboration of the A Túnica Inconsútil. In our perspective, the effective union of these two perspectives will be accomplished through the technique of surrealist collage, which makes use of the combination of disparate elements, together with the exploitation of classic tops of literature, such as the trip and the island. Join this practice the metaphysical poet's ideological project, which aims to establish the "poetry in Christ".

Romano-British wall-painting fragments: a spectroscopic analysis

Raman spectroscopic analyses of fragmented wall-painting specimens from a Romano-British villa dating from ca. 200 AD are reported. The predominant pigment is red haematite, to which carbon, chalk and sand have been added to produce colour variations, applied to a typical Roman limewash putty composition. Other pigment colours are identified as white chalk, yellow (goethite), grey (soot/chalk mixture) and violet. The latter pigment is ascribed to caput mortuum, a rare form of haematite, to which kaolinite (possibly from Cornwall) has been added, presumably in an effort to increase the adhesive properties of the pigment to the substratum. This is the first time that kaolinite has been reported in this context and could indicate the successful application of an ancient technology discovered by the Romano-British artists. Supporting evidence for the Raman data is provided by X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDAX analyses of the purple pigment.
