AUTOBIOGRAPHIES IN MOZAMBIQUE: WRITTING AS MONUMENT (2001-2013)

Abstract

The article focuses on autobiographical texts published in Mozambique since 2001, in which the relations between memory and power are projected as a determining alliance in the conduct of the country's recent history. Understanding writing as an arena, the authors collect / select / produce the memories of the armed liberation struggle period and propose a reading in which history is delineated by voices that, while seeking to incorporate a charge of subjectivity into the discourses they record, converge in the effort to consolidate the official macronarrative.
