Guerra Civil em Moçambique: Desterritorialização e a experiência migratória, na obra Terra Sonâmbula de Mia Couto.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the process of deterritorialization and the migratory experience experienced by the Kindzu character in Mia Couto's novel Terra Sonâmbula (1992). When we consider the fictional scenario that governs the issue of transits, we observe that the Civil War (1977-1992) has three distinguishing features in the narrative, being at the same time the element responsible for the "sleepwalking identity" that devastates the character, obliges them to the displacement and that metamorphoses the land patria in earth exile. In this context, in order to provide a better understanding of our corpus and the historical context of literary production, we structured our research into three sections: Contextualizing spaces, chapter this subdivided in two topics destined to discuss, respectively, the narrative and the context of literary production, ii. Migration and the process of deterritorialization: theoretical considerations and, finally, iii. Sonámbula land: a process of deterritorialization and survival in times of war, at which point we will focus on the analysis of the corpus based on the theoretical discussions of previous topics. For that, we will use as theoretical contribution the contributions of Hall (2003, 2006), Bonicci (2005), among others.
