O DESEJO DE KIANDA, romance do escritor angolano Pepetela, foi publicado originalmente em 1995. A ação se desenvolve em 1994, numa Angola marcada por sequelas da guerra civil. O cenário é a cidade de Luanda, em meio ao caos que faz parte da vida de todos. O romance se inicia com o desmoronamento de um prédio no dia do casamento de João Evangelista com CCC (Carminha Cara de Cu). Outros desmoronamentos se sucedem sem aparente motivo, alterando o ritmo de vida dos habitantes da cidade. Com uma linguagem ao mesmo tempo crítica e irônica, Pepetela nos traz Kianda, espírito que vive em todas as águas – mar, lagos e rios. Kianda é personagem determinante nessa história em que tradições angolanas e atualidade política e econômica são retratadas com maestria e sensibilidade. O DESEJO DE KIANDA (2021) é o quarto livro do autor que a Kapulana lança no Brasil. A editora publicou O cão e os caluandas (2019), O quase fim do mundo (2019) e Sua Excelência, de corpo presente (2020).

«João Evangelista casou no dia em que caiu o primeiro prédio. No Largo do Kinaxixi. Mais tarde procuraram encontrar uma relação de causa a efeito entre os dois notáveis acontecimentos. Mas só muito mais tarde, quando a síndroma de Luanda se tornou notícia de primeira página do New York Times e do Frankfurter Allgemeine. Aliás João Evangelista casou às cinco da tarde, na Conservatória do Kinaxixi, e o prédio caiu às seis. A existir relação, parece claro ser o casamento a causa e nunca o suicídio do prédio. O problema é que as coisas nunca são tão límpidas como gostaríamos.» Pepetela, Prémio Camões 1997

A Postmodern Nationalist written by Phillip Rothwell and has been published by Bucknell University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Literary Criticism categories.
"This is the first book in the English language devoted to the study of the work of Mozambique's leading contemporary author, Mia Couto. Couto's fiction is riddled by a central paradox - it forges a distinct postmodern national identity for a country historically plagued by repeated and detrimental interference from abroad. Phillip Rothwell argues that Couto is a writer who eschews and reinforces the national frontier. In fact, Couto produces a cultural phenomenon that is markedly Mozambican by corrupting aspects of the European legacy Portugal left on the African continent, fusing this distortion with a corrupted version of African heritage, and demarcating literary boundaries through fluidity." "The book details Couto's life and literary trajectory, and interprets essential aspects of Mozambican political and cultural history before undertaking a range of analyses of his work. The postmodern relativization of the concept of a unitary truth furnishes the springboard for an interrogation of what "truth" has meant to Mozambique as exemplified in Couto's texts. The paradoxes inherent in the politics of orthography are scrutinized in Couto's universe to illustrate the aporia prevalent in an atavistic reclaiming of a pre-Portuguese system of writing. Rothwell then engages with the moral meaning of orality and literacy in the tradition Couto both defies and defines, to demonstrate Couto's simultaneous disavowal of misographic and graphophile epistemologies. The manners in which Couto breaches the frontier between the conscious and unconscious realms and blurs gender distinctions are read alongside traditional delineations in order to understand the extent to which Couto's message is radically political. Rothwell concludes with a reading of one of Couto's most potent works in which, through an empowering attack on the United Nations' invasion of Mozambique, Couto enjoins his fellow nationals to begin to resist the postmodern age." "Couto's ambivalent use of the tropes of postmodernism are discussed throughout the book, particularly the way in which it has evolved into a political agenda that is fiercely Mozambican. Rothwell demonstrates Couto's reevaluation of Grand Narratives and shows how, in the case of the Mozambican culture of today, postmodernism has become the only Grand Narrative left worth critiquing." "Rothwell explores a broad cross-section of Couto's literary output, from his early short stories to his more recent novels. He places these within the context of a Mozambican and wider lusophone cultural backdrop, providing essential reading and source of reference for all interested in contemporary Portuguese, African, and world literatures."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Tracking Capital introduces new ways to understand the entanglement of cultural forms and practices in economic, social, and ecological crises and struggles. Building on the fundamental insights of world-systems analysis, the book offers readers a series of rubrics, keywords, and concepts—such as zemiperiphery, registration, and commodity chains—to enable more integrated, transdisciplinary methods of literary and cultural study. Throughout, Sharae Deckard, Michael Niblett, and Stephen Shapiro foreground the role of culture in both consolidating and contesting the classism, racism, sexism, and ecocide constitutive of the modern world-system. In the context of capitalism's ongoing bloody war against the poor, the powerless, and the planet, Tracking Capital provides tools with which to diagnose the morbid symptoms of the present, as well as to plot possible steps on the road to a better future.

The full story of modernism is yet to be written. This collection of essays provides an important page in this complex and inconclusive story of fluidities and hybridities by rendering problematical the linear sequence from modernism to postmodernism. This book explores the many facets of modernism in a variety of essays written by an international group of scholars. It deals with and puts in question the western literary tradition in many of its transcontinental and trans-hemispheric encounters. Criticism of 'high modernism' is put in perspective by discussions of German 'reactionary modernism', American 'social modernism' and 'minor arts', mid-twentieth-century 'Baudelairean modernity' and unprecedented expansions of the concepts of modernity and modernism themselves. Engaging in dialogue with the newest geographical, transnational, and global enlargements of the concept of modernism in time and space (from the 'Middle Passage' to emergent cultures of the twenty-first century, from Europe to America, Africa and Asia), the volume covers a wide range of translocal and transtemporal literary, artistic, cultural, and social fields and perspectives.
