Resumo(s)
The comparative study of African literatures in Portuguese and in English languages has not
been the object of many research projects in Africa.
My work is centred in this field of study and it aims at conducting a comparative analysis of
the narratives produced by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe and Angolan author Ruy Duarte de
Carvalho, observing the convergent and divergent aspects in aesthetics and ideology present in their
works. The corpus under analysis includes Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and Vou lá Visitar
Pastores by Ruy Duarte de Carvalho.
The authors converge ideologically in their works as they pay attention to issues such as land
ownership and usage, peoples’ heritage and history. Besides the historical and cultural diversity,
these texts also allow the discussion of other issues, notably particularities in aesthetic elaboration.
Both novelists combine literary and anthropological topics. Thus, this thesis is a correlational,
descriptive and analytical type of research, and is seeking cultural meaning and understanding
through fiction.
The main sources for my thesis were the two texts mentioned above, but also documents
available on African literature, history, literary criticism, ethnography, politics and anthropology.
