Nós, os do Makulusu: memória reorganizadora da matéria abalada para sempre
Abstract
The work inquires into the narrative situations of Luandino Vieira's novel, giving special attention to the memoirs, the narrator's course of life, his way of using the language and other accurate instruments in order to intensify the exposed tensions. Leaving aside the objectivity (that already was an obsession of the narrative, according to Adorno), the novel appropriates the subjectivity to the utmost and, paradoxically, shows the reality through the decomposition and rearrangement of the world, remaking the sense of utopian cultural identity and confirming the sense of liberty by writing.
