Em torno da literatura para todas as idades em José Eduardo Agualusa: algumas reflexões. (Portuguese)

About Crossover Literature in José Eduardo Agualusa: Some Reflections. (English)

Children's and youth literature has attracted numerous attentions from academics. The number of studies in this field is a good reflection of this. Currently, children's literature can no longer be seen as a tight definition. There are some texts that, although at first sight can be perceived as such, by their illustration, they surpass this label and are inscribed in a literature for all ages. They are texts that intersect the boundaries between audiences, written by authors who are generally specialized in adult fiction. This crossover fiction (Falconer, 2007 e Beckett, 2009), using the Anglo-Saxon denomination, is a characteristic of some of the contemporary African literatures in Portuguese. Therefore, it is intended to show some examples and particularities of these African literatures for all ages. In this sense, a brief comparative literary analysis will be carried out between some African literary texts and in particular texts by the Angolan José Eduardo Agualusa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A literatura para a infância e juventude tem despertado atenções várias de académicos. O número de estudos nesse campo são bem o reflexo disso. Atualmente, porém, esta literatura já não pode ser vista como estanque. Há textos que, apesar de à primeira vista poderem ser percepcionados como tal, pela apresentação gráfica, sobretudo, ultrapassam essa etiqueta e inscrevem-se numa 'literatura para todas as idades'. São textos que cruzam as fronteiras entre públicos, escritos por autores que, geralmente, são especializados em literatura para adultos. Esta ficção crossover (Falconer, 2007 e Beckett, 2009), utilizando a denominação anglo-saxónica, está também presente em alguns textos das literaturas africanas contemporâneas em português. Pretende-se, pois, aqui, mostrar alguns exemplos e particularidades dessa literatura africana para todas as idades. Nesse sentido, proceder-se-á a uma breve análise literária comparativa entre alguns textos literários de autores africanos e, em particular, do angolano José Eduardo Agualusa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
