REPRESENTAÇÕES DE 'GINGAS' NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE: LITERATURA, CULTURA E MÉDIA.
| Resumo: | Combining history, literature and other cultural productions is an efficient way to make historical characters and cultures known. Thus, this work reveals a little more about the historical character Rainha Ginga (17th century) and her fight for Ndongo, today Angola, against Portuguese colonization and the sovereign's strategy to ally with the Dutch to defend her people. The main objective of this study is to analyze social and cultural aspects, such as patriarchy, slavery, racism and intersectionality, experienced by female characters in two historical novels about the Angolan queen: A Rainha Ginga: e de como os africanos inventaram o mundo (2014), by José Eduardo Agualusa, and A gloriosa família: o tempo dos flamengos (1997), by Pepetela. In these works, the representation of the Angolan queen and her influence on some characters will also be analyzed. From this, I intend to show reverberations of the Angolan queen in other cultural productions, not only Angolan, such as in the visual arts, in the Brazilian carnival with samba plots that reference the Angolan queen and in real episodes of political and social life in contemporary society in different countries. This study eventually revisits other historical African queens by way of comparison with the story of Queen Ginga. This heterogeneous corpus is approached through the perspective of Cultural Studies. Finally, with all objectives achieved, it will be possible to revisit the history of the Angolan sovereign and her fight against Portuguese colonialism. Queen Ginga is a remarkable woman not only in the history of the Angolan people, but also for all Afro-descendant women around the world. |
