Abstract

O artigo analisa a problemática do nomadismo como metáfora discursiva, identitária e cultural na poesia de Rui Knopfli, um dos maiores poetas moçambicanos, cuja produção literária foi em parte desenvolvida no estrangeiro. Dentro deste âmbito, serão focadas, em especial, oscilações entre “centro” e “periferia” a nível do dinamismo espacial, identitário e literário, bem como cruzamentos literários e processos discursivos de afirmação/subversão das vozes canónicas. A análise baseia-se, essencialmente, nas conceções do nomadismo desenvolvidas no âmbito dos estudos culturais (Maffesoli, Fenoulhet etc.) e centra-se na coletânea O corpo de Atena (1984), escrita na Grã-Bretanha. Por fim, a inserção da personalidade/obra de Knopfli dentro do contexto da novíssima poesia moçambicana permite observar como este autor se torna, por sua vez, um centro de referência para as novas gerações literárias.

Abstract (in English)

The article analyses the problem of nomadism as a discursive, identity and cultural metaphor in the poetry of Rui Knopfli, one of the greatest Mozambican poets, whose literary production was partly developed abroad. Within this scope, oscillations between "centre" and "periphery" at the level of spatial, identity and literary dynamism, as well as literary intersections and discursive processes of affirmation/subversion of canonical voices are focused on in particular. The analysis is essentially based on the conceptions of nomadism developed within cultural studies (Maffesoli, Fenoulhet etc.) and focuses on the collection O corpo de Atena (The Body of Athena, 1984), written in Britain. Finally, the insertion of Knopfli's personality/work within the context of the very new Mozambican poetry allows us to observe how this author becomes, in turn, a centre of reference for new literary generations.
