Literary Connections between South Africa and the Lusophone World
connects literatures and cultures of South Africa and the
Portuguese-speaking nations of Africa and beyond, and is set within
literary and cultural studies. The chapters gathered in this volume
reinforce the critical and ongoing conversations in comparative and
world literature from perspectives of the South. It outlines some
possible theoretical and methodological starting points for a
comparative framework that targets, transnationally, literatures
from the South. This volume is an additional step to renew the
critical potentialities of comparative literary studies (Spivak
2009) as well as of humanistic criticism itself (Said 2004) as
South Africa and the Lusophone world (except its former colonizer,
Portugal) are outside the spatial and cultural dimension usually
defined as European and/or North American. In this sense and due to
the evident geographical and socio-historical links between these
regions, critical scholarship on their literary connections can
contribute to unprecedented perspectives of representational
practices within a broader contextual dimension, and in so doing,
provides the emergence of what Boaventura de Sousa Santos called
"epistemologies of the South" (Santos 2016), as it considers
cultural exchanges in the space of so-called "overlapping
territories" and "intertwined histories" (Said 1993).
