Representação da morte em "O regresso do morto" e "Palestra para um morto" de Suleiman Cassamo
Get PDFMestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e CulturasO presente trabalho aborda a representação literária da morte, segundo as
obras moçambicanas O Regresso do Morto e Palestra para um Morto, de
Suleiman Cassamo. Porque a morte é recorrente dos seus contos e no seu
romance, decidimos estudar a especificidade desta temática, tendo em conta o
contexto sociocultural onde ela acontece.
Mas antes, começamos por proceder a uma reflexão teórica sobre o assunto,
revisitando a cultura e a literatura ao longo dos tempos. Posteriormente,
apresentamos uma visão global da morte em algumas obras moçambicanas e,
finalmente na narrativa de Saleiman Cassamo.
O aspeto mais marcante nas obras em análise é o modo como as
personagens convivem com a morte. A morte não é algo inquietante para os
vivos, pois eles convivem bem com ela, optando, por vezes, por se darem à
morte para encontrar o sossego que não tiveram em vida.
Suleiman Cassamo, ao oferecer ao leitor a sua própria visão da morte, abre
uma perspetiva sobre a vida e leva o leitor a refletir sobre as múltiplas
expressões da sua própria existência.The present work discusses the literary representation of death, according to
two works by the Mozambican author Saleiman Cassamo - O Regresso do
Morto and Palestra para um Morto. Because death is a recurring subject on his
tales and his novel, we decided to study the specificity of this matter, taking into
account the socio-cultural context in which it happens.
But before, we begin by carrying out a theoretical reflection on the subject,
revisiting culture and literature throughout time. Subsequently, we present an
overview of death in some Mozambican works and, finally, in Saleiman
Cassamo’s narrative.
The most striking aspect of the works in question is how the characters live with
death. Death is not something disturbing to the living because they live well
together with it, choosing, sometimes, to give themselves to death in order to
find the peace that they did not have in life.
Suleiman Cassamo provides the reader with his own vision of death and
perspective on life, leading the reader to a self-reflection on the many
expressions of his own existence
A condição feminina em o Regresso do morto de Suleiman Cassamo
No full textMestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e CulturasDurante séculos a mulher Moçambicana viveu uma situação de subalternização social e económica em relação ao homem que se impõe como o chefe, o patriarca e proprietário dos bens familiares, tanto nas sociedades patriarcais como nas matrilineares. A literatura que se dedica à problemática das diferenças socioeconómicas de género tem assumido, na sua maioria, partido na crítica à situação subalterna da mulher e, por conseguinte, na luta pela emancipação feminina e na defesa de mulher. Em O Regresso do Morto, Suleiman Cassamo mostra e denuncia a complexa situação social e económica da mulher, procurando reflectir sobre como se constroem as diferenças sociais, chamando a atenção para os determinantes sociais desse processo, tais como o poderio económico do homem, especialmente nas sociedades matrilineares. O autor de O Regresso do Morto repensa o devir do poder masculino e representa, tanto de forma trágica como satírica disfarçando uma crítica social dessa mundividência patriarcal.During century Mozambican woman lived social and economical sub alternazation toward men that is considered as the chief, the patriarch and the owner of family wealth both in patriarch society as well as matrilineal (female line). The literature that has to do with socio-economical differences of gender has assured (accepted) the major part, criticizing the subordinate situation of women and, and therefore fighting for the empowerment and the defence of women in “O regresso do morto” (The Coming Back of the death) by Suleiman Cassamo shows and announces the complex social and economical situation of women seeking to reflect about how social differences are built, taking into account the social determination of the process such as the economical power of men ,especially in father line societies. The author of the coming back of death rethinks the must of masculine power and represents, even tragically as well as satirical disguising of social disapprove of this global view of the Word (society)
Predation on Trachylepis socotrana by Lanius meridionalis
No full textEl alcaudón sureño (Lanius meridionalis) es un depredador común de reptiles, conocido
por empalar sus capturas en arbustos espinosos como reserva. El 3 de Marzo de 2014, después
de detectar un ejemplar de L. meridionalis alrededor de nuestro campamento en la reserva
forestal de Firmhin (Socotra), encontramos unos restos de Trachylepis socotrana empalados
en una rama seca. Durante los diversos muestreos que tuvieron lugar ese año en Firmhin, ese
escincido no se detectó, lo que indica la posible importancia del examen de este tipo de restos
para detectar poblaciones de reptiles con poca densidad en ambientes insulares.This work was undertaken

Regaining Commercial Power Through Enslavement: Ayuba Suleiman Diallo’s Return from a Enslaved to Enslaver
No full textabstract: Ayuba Suleiman Diallo’s 1731 journey from a trader of enslaved people, to enslaved, and back a trader of enslaved people is both remarkable and seemingly contradictory. However, his involvement in the West African trading networks bridged the goods-centered market and the ensuing one centered around enslaved people. Thus, his actions reflect the economic insecurity that permeated Senegambia, and his return to trading enslaved people illustrates the need for a competitive edge in these newmarkets. Foundational to his return were his manipulation of race, color, and religion in response to an increasing demand for enslaved people. Diallo established himself as different than the enslaved people around him, positing that he was instead more similar to his white captors. Through his royal mannerisms and devout practice of Islam, Diallo befriended Thomas Bluett, James Oglethorpe, the Duke of Montagu, and even King George II and Queen Caroline. He was branded “the Fortunate Slave” and frequently described as a white man with black skin. Diallo’s actions allowed him to regain enough social capital to travel to England and eventually return home to Bondu in present-day Senegal. Once home, he participated in the trade of enslaved people far more zealously than before his capture, which emphasizes how the Senegambian markets had transitioned away from being goods-centered during his absence in response to British demand. Diallo’s story illustrates the changing nature of Trans-Atlantic slave trade as well as eighteenth-century attitudes towards race and slavery
