Sebastian (with no King): alterity and individuality in Jornada de África, by Manuel Alegre
| Resumo: | This study proposes an analysis of the novel Jornada de África (1989), by Manuel Alegre, that is centred on the protagonist Sebastião’s experience during his military participation in the Colonial War in Angola. The existing studies on the novel have righteously privileged collective or supraindividual readings of the character, taking him as representative of a generation, a people, a nation, or a language. However, it is still to be considered how Sebastião, before and in spite of rising to a collective model, is a character endowed with individuality, which he seeks to affirm even when the war induces in him a sensation of alterity in relation to his time, his space, and himself. This work intends to help filling that gap.Sebasti ebasti ão (sem Dom)87 |
