| Sumario: | This chapter proposes an analysis of the poetry of the Cape Verdean writer Vera Duarte in two distinct moments of production, not only separated by the time of the poet's experiences, but also (and above all) by her socio-historical condition, in relation to the liberation and independence struggles in his country and in other former Portuguese colonies, sisters in language and in the meanings of Africanity. The aim is to think about Vera Duarte's poetic production from two contextual axes: utopia and dystopia. The reflections developed here are expansions of a research work that resulted in the publication of the book A geração da distopia(2021), about the fiction of Angolan authors similarly crossed by time. The theoretical framework of this chapter was developed, therefore, based on the aforementioned book and the theorists who supported the research, such as Anibal Quijano (2005), Frantz Fanon (1968), Amilcar Cabral (1980), Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2008) and Pires Laranjeira (2000). Also references in this text are thinkers of African ancestry and theorists of global contemporary times. The analyzes allow us to observe different fictional representations in different times separated by a history of projects and disappointments. |
