Uma história depois dos regressos: a Europa e os fantasmas pós-coloniais

Abstract

This article addresses the beginnings of a post-colonial political, artistical and cultural attitude in Europe in relation to its colonial past and its reflections in the present. Based on visual works by Ângela Ferreira, Luc Tuymans, Zined Sedira and literary works by Joaquim Arena, Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida and Yara Monteiro, the forms and modes of the stories told in the European house are discussed after the return of the old empires and ghosts.
