Díaz, Sierra Ignacio. "Eliminació i creixement Colonialisme de població i sistemes agraris a Olvera (Cadis) i Agüimes (Gran Canària). Segles XIV-XVI." Doctoral thesis, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/670500.
Full textEl período 1300-1600 es la época de solapamiento entre los procesos de conquista y colonización que tuvieron lugar en Europa durante la Edad Media y la expansión transatlántica de la Época Moderna. Al mismo tiempo que la Cristiandad Latina lanzaba las últimas cruzadas en el continente europeo, las monarquías portuguesa y castellana establecían las primeras colonias transoceánicas en el Atlántico oriental, en las costas de África y en América. Muchos autores han contribuido al estudio de las conexiones entre las empresas colonizadoras medievales y las modernas, especialmente entre las conquistas castellanas en la Península Ibérica y en América. Pero la mayoría de investigaciones se ha centrado en los aspectos políticos, militares, culturales y jurídicos de la colonización. En comparación, muy pocas han tenido como interés preferente el análisis de las prácticas y los espacios agrarios usados por las poblaciones indígenas y por los colonos, que ofrece la posibilidad de conocer como alteraron los colonizadores los paisajes y los procesos de trabajo locales para construir nuevos órdenes agrarios en los territorios conquistados. Esta tesis doctoral consiste en un estudio comparativo de dos villas de señorío que fueron colonizadas por Castilla entre el siglo XIV y el XVI con el objetivo de identificar y contrastar la gestión que los colonos hicieron de los territorios capturados en dos contextos diferentes: la toma de Olvera (Cádiz) se enmarca en la conquista del Emirato de Granada, mientras que la ocupación de Agüimes (Gran Canaria) constituye una de las primeras etapas de la expansión transatlántica europea. La investigación ha requerido el manejo simultáneo del registro escrito y del arqueológico, en combinación con el análisis de los paisajes modernos y la realización de encuestas etnográficas a los gestores actuales de los espacios de trabajo, y ha demostrado que los dos casos formaban parte de un único proceso de conquista y desposesión de comunidades campesinas que remonta sus orígenes a la Europa franca medieval. El estudio ha permitido apreciar como los colonos siguieron estrategias análogas al gestionar los espacios agrarios capturados a las poblaciones locales, que fueron eliminadas, y adaptarlos al sistema productivo colonial. Las transformaciones estuvieron preferentemente dirigidas a ampliar las áreas de cultivo, a facilitar su gestión y la acumulación de producto agrario por parte de los señores y los grandes propietarios de tierra y a fomentar la especialización de los campos en la producción de cosechas prioritariamente destinadas a la comercialización en regímenes de monocultivo. La investigación también ha mostrado una clara conexión entre el rápido crecimiento de los espacios de trabajo coloniales y los procesos de acumulación por desposesión que siguieron la colonización de Olvera y Agüimes, los cuales también generaron dinámicas de consumo acelerado de los recursos naturales y de deterioro de las condiciones ecológicas locales. La comparación entre los casos de Olvera y Agüimes también ha revelado paralelismos en la forma que los campesinados indígenas organizaban la producción agrícola y construían y gestionaban los espacios de trabajo. Tanto los andalusíes como los canarios parecen haber impuesto límites estrictos al crecimiento potencial de los campos y al uso de los recursos que los colonos rompieron para poner en marcha secuencias ininterrumpidas de expansión de las áreas de cultivo. Esta contradicción fundamental entre los constreñimientos al crecimiento impuestos por las poblaciones indígenas y la tendencia de la sociedad colonizadora a la expansión y a la acumulación individual se halla en la raíz de la eliminación sistemática de las sociedades colonizadas. El estudio conjunto de Olvera y Agüimes sugiere que la eliminación de las organizaciones campesinas indígenas fue una condición básica para la implantación y la reproducción del sistema colonizador en los espacios de conquista.
The period 1300-1600 saw an overlap between the processes of conquest and colonisation that took place in Europe during the Middle Ages and the transatlantic expansion of the Modern Age. As Latin Christendom launched the last crusades in the European continent, the Portuguese and Castilians established the first transoceanic colonies in the Eastern Atlantic, the African coast and in America. Many authors have contributed to the study of the connexions between medieval and early modern colonialism, and especially between the Castilian conquests in the Iberian Peninsula and in America. But most research has focused on the political, military, cultural and juridical aspects of the colonisation. In comparison, very few of them have concentrated primarily on the analysis of the agricultural practices and spaces that were used by indigenous peoples and settlers, which offers the possibility of learning how colonists altered the local landscapes and working processes to build a new agricultural system in the conquered regions. This PhD dissertation is a comparative study between two seigneurial towns that were colonised by Castile between the fourteenth and the sixteenth centuries and it aims to identify and juxtapose the strategies settlers implemented to manage the captured landscapes in two different environments: the seizure of Olvera (Cadiz) was part of the conquest of the Emirate of Granada, while the occupation of Agüimes (Gran Canaria) was one of the first steps of the European transatlantic expansion. This research has required dealing simultaneously with the written and the archaeological record, in combination with the analysis of modern landscapes and the carrying out of ethnographical surveys of the current managers of the working areas, and it has demonstrated that both case studies were part of a single process of conquest and dispossession of peasant communities which started in Frankish Europe during the Middle Ages. The study has evinced that colonists followed analogous strategies when managing the agricultural spaces captured to the local populations –which were eliminated- and adapting them to the colonial system of production. These transformations were primarily aimed at expanding farming areas, facilitating their control and the accumulation of agricultural output by rentier lords and large landowners and promoting the specialisation of fields in the monoculture of cash crops. The investigation has also shown a clear connexion between the rapid growth of the colonial working spaces and the spirals of accumulation by dispossession that followed the colonisation of both towns, which also accelerated the rate at which natural resources were consumed and rapidly deteriorated local ecological conditions. The comparison between the cases of Olvera and Agüimes has also revealed parallelisms between the way in which the indigenous peasantries organised agricultural production and built and managed their working spaces. Both the Andalusi and the Canarians imposed strict limits on the potential growth of farming areas and on the usage of natural resources, which were broken by the colonists to engage in uninterrupted sequences of field construction. It seems that this crucial contradiction between the constraints to growth established by indigenous population and the settlers’ tendency towards expansion and individual accumulation of resources seems lies at the heart of the systematic elimination of colonised societies by the Latin conquerors. The study of Olvera and Agüimes suggests that the elimination of the indigenous peasant organisations was a basic condition of the implementation and the reproduction of the colonising system in the conquered regions.

Full textHad Marx been an inescapably Eurocentric thinker? How did Marx think colonialism? What is his analysis about so-called peripheral social formations? This dissertation intends to propose some answers to these questions. Thus, we follow the comings and goings of the author in texts on British colonization in India, China and Ireland. As a starting point for our analysis, we follow the methodological principle of observing how social struggles affected the German philosopher. We show that there is a connection between his political thinking and the historical context. When challenged by the struggles of the peripheral peoples, Marx responded to them and thence reelaborated his theories. His reflection thus constitutes a \"thought-struggle\". In fact, the label also serves to describe another face of the philosopher: his deep commitment to these same struggles. If Marx allowed himself to be contaminated by them, it was because he was involved, either directly - in the case of Ireland - or indirectly - in the case of India and China, in solidarity with the struggle of the oppressed people. For this reason, to observe the course of the philosopher\'s analysis of colonialism implies a double look: on the one hand, we will have to go through his theoretical inflections that show themselves in his conjuncture analyzes. On the other hand, it is necessary to observe the change of attitude towards the \"other\" peoples - all those with whom Marx does not identify at first, whether Indian or Chinese (\"oriental\"), Russian (Slavic) or Irish (Celtic). It is hoped, therefore, to point out some changes in the author\'s vision, which will progressively \"de-Europeanize\", assuming a multilinear conception of history and establishing a contumacious critique of colonialism. In the course of our research, we highlight some key moments of these changes: 1857-1858 for India and China, 1867 for Ireland and the texts of the end of his life, on the Russian Commune. These specifically are considered a kind of culmination of this new vision on history, and therefore are analyzed in our conclusion, in order to mark the final Marxian perspective. Finally, we try to defend, from this new perspective, the possibility of a more fruitful dialogue between Marx\'s work and the so-called post-colonialism. Since Marx\'s position on colonialism and capitalism will change over the course of his life, moving in a more critical sense, we ask whether there would be no fruitful possibility of, through a dialogue with the Marxian perspective, reconnecting postcolonial theory with the critique of contemporary capitalism.

Full textSince the Antiquity the political experience of the Assyrians has been defined as an “Empire”. Biblical and ancient sources have created a historiographical image of the Assyrians, which was characterized by military violence, an excessive sexuality and an exaggerated urbanism. Moreover, following the theory of the translatio imperii, the Assyrian Empire should have been the first empire of history. Starting from the middle of the XIX century the discovering of the vestiges of the royal cities in the north of Mesopotamia, and especially of the bas reliefs which adorned the royal palaces, gave access to an enormous quantity of direct information about the Assyrians. The historiographical model which was employed in order to interpret this data was the roman empire, which was already very well-known by scholars. The deciphering of the cuneiform system and the consequent possibility of accessing to Assyrian written sources certified the powerful and militaristic image suggested by the ancient sources. Since that period and during the next excavations up until today, the information about the Assyrians has constantly increased. At the same time the work of historical interpretation has been influenced not only by the different economic and political theories but also by the interests of the nations which financed the researches. In order to try to understand the Assyrian political experience, typically modern categories have been employed by Assyriologists, such as imperialism and colonialism, or more recently the globalization. The aim of this doctoral thesis consists in reconstructing the epistemological course of the concept of “Assyrian Empire”, with a specific attention to the contribution of archaeological researches in the Northern Mesopotamia

Full textEn este estudio, examino las cuentas prehispánicas y europeas recuperadas de varios sitios arqueológicos ocupados durante el colonialismo español temprano a lo largo los Andes peruanos. Al hacer esto, sitúo tales materiales e interacciones en la historia extensiva de las redes sociales andinas y europeas. Demuestro que la presencia de las cuentas europeas en sitios arqueológicos o en contextos dentro de dichos sitios no indica que directamente estas les pertenecieran a los europeos. Además, a partir de las varias teorías sobre valor por David Graeber, Mary Helms y Karl Marx, junto con ideas acerca del carácter híbrido de lo colonial, argumento que las cuentas prehispánicas de la concha de Spondylus y cuentas europeas eran similarmente valuadas debido a la acción invertida en su adquisición de tierras lejanas y orígenes únicos. Además, sostengo que el uso contemporáneo de las cuentas prehispánicas y europeas en las formas de intercambio, vestimenta y prácticas funerarias contribuyeron con las creencias y prácticas andinas y europeas al adquirir significados distintos. Estas actividades, con sus significados cambiantes, influían en la formación de nuevas identidades culturales, y conformaba los valores sociales de los andinos y europeos en un entorno español colonial emergente en los Andes.

Full textSendo o período colonial português ainda relativamente recente é possível estudá-lo, não só através dos registos escritos, como através da memória daqueles que são hoje as testemunhas de um determinado passado. Os relatos dessas testemunhas consistem numa multiplicidade de vozes que permitem romper com a ideia de uma história única e institucional. A partir das vivências atuais, os acontecimentos do passado são revisitados e as cicatrizes do tempo ido emergem do olhar lançado retrospetivamente. Através do período histórico abrangido pela memória dos vivos é possível reconstituir, de forma cruzada e através de formas de saturação de informação, não só um determinado segmento temporal, como o contexto que lhe deu forma e sequência. O objetivo da presente investigação é o de, através de uma etnografia histórica, descrever e analisar os quotidianos e as atividades das crianças na sociedade colonial guineense, num contexto de dominação colonial marcado por diversidades culturais, étnicas, sociais, geográficas, económicas e políticas.
Considering that the Portuguese colonial period is still relatively recent, it is possible to study it, not only through written records, but also through the memory of those who are witnesses to a particular past. The testimonies of these witnesses consist of a multitude of voices that allow breaking with the idea of a unique and institutional history. From the current experiences, the events of the past are revisited and the scars of a time gone by emerge from the retrospective gaze. Through the historical period covered by the memory of the living, it is possible to reconstruct, in a cross-way and through forms of saturation of information, not only a certain temporal segment, but also the context that gave it form and sequence. The objective of the present research is to describe and analyze the daily activities and activities of children in Guinean colonial society, in a context of colonial domination marked by cultural, ethnic, social, geographical, economic and political diversities.

Full textThis thesis examines the connection between colonialism and violence during the early years of English settlement in North America. I argue that colonization was inherently destructive because the English colonists envisioned a comprehensive transformation of the American landscape that required the elimination ofNative American societies. Two case studies demonstrate the dynamics ofthis process. During the Anglo-Powhatan Wars in Virginia, latent violence within English ideologies of imperialism escalated cont1ict to levels of extreme brutality, but the fracturing ofpower along the frontier limited Virginian war aims to expulsion of the Powhatan Indians and the creation of a segregated society. During the Pequot War in New England, elements of violence in the Puritan worldview became exaggerated by the onset of societal crisis during the Antinomian Controversy. The resulting climate of fear unified the colonies and created an ideological commitment to the genocide of the Pequots.

Full textQuesta tesi è composta di tre capitoli su argomenti di economica teorica e teoria applicata. Il primo capitolo analizza l’esistenza e l’implementazione di una regola per la divisione di terra, definita attraverso due proprietà: efficienza e equivalenza di pari opportunità. E’ un lavoro coautorato con Antonio Nicolò e Andrés Perea, ed è stato pubblicato in SERIEs (2011), in un numero speciale in onore di Salvador Barberà, vedi Nicolò et al. (2012). Il secondo capitolo presenta un modello di voto con citizen-candidate, con lobby su uno spazio politico multidimensionale, con argomenti salienti. Il terzo capitolo studia il comportamento strategico dei colonizzatori nell'investimento in state capacity nelle colonie di non insediamento, dando una spiegazione anche agli effetti sui risultati di conflitto civile dopo l’indipendenza. Andando più in dettaglio, nel primo capitolo cerchiamo una soluzione normativa al problema di divisione di terra, che possa essere applicata a differenti tipi di dispute, quando il negoziatore ha a disposizione informazioni molto limitate sulle preferenze degli agenti, e meccanismi di mercato non sono disponibili. La soluzione deve essere equa ed efficiente, sotto il vincolo dell’informazione limitata disponibile al negoziatore. A questo scopo pro¬poniamo il concetto di equivalenza di pari opportunità, definito da Thomson (1994). Una divisione di terra è equivalente in pari opportunità se ogni agente riceve un pezzo di terra che la rende indifferente rispetto al suo miglior pezzo di una data area µ, dove l’area del pezzo di riferimento deve essere lo stesso per entrambi gli agenti. L’esistenza di una regola per la divisione di terra, l’unicità dei livelli di utilità vengono dimostrate, insieme ad un meccanismo per implementarla, nel quale le preferenze degli agenti non sono informazione comune. Inoltre c’è un unico µ per quale la regola esiste, quindi µ non è una scelta discrezionaria del negoziatore. Il secondo capitolo è dedicato all'analisi di un modello di citizen-candidate su uno spazio politico multidimensionale con lobby, nel quale i cittadini considerano alcuni argomenti più salienti di altri. In equilibrio i gruppi di interesse che fanno lobby sui temi meno salienti riescono a muovere la politica implementata più vicino alla loro politica preferita, rispetto a gruppi che fanno lobby su argomenti più salienti. Dopo aver introdotto due tipi di cittadini, che differiscono per quanto concerne la salienza assegnata agli argomenti, troviamo equilibri pooling, nei quali i votanti non sono in grado di annullare l’effetto dell’attività di lobby sulla politica implementata. Questo è risultato è in forte contrasto con i precedenti lavori su modelli di citizen-candidate unidimensionali che predicono l’irrilevanza dell’attività di lobby sulla politica implementata, vedi Besley and Coate (2001). In una estensione del modello, ai cittadini viene data la possibilità di finanziare le lobby con donazioni monetarie per incrementare il loro potere. Con più di una lobby per argomento ci sono due risultati. Primo, sotto alcune condizioni solo le lobby più estreme ricevono contributi. Secondo, l’effettività di una lobby è massimizzata quando la salienza di un argomento è bassa nella popolazione e alta per un piccolo gruppo di cittadini. Il terzo capitolo si occupa dei determinanti dell’investimento in state capacity nelle colonie di non insediamento. I risultati di questa analisi superano i limiti del framework creato da Acemoglu et al. (2001), la cui teoria afferma solo che istituzioni estrattive sono state promosse nelle colonie di non insediamento, senza dare alcuna spiegazione alla grande eterogeneità di istituzioni in queste colonie. Circa metà delle colonie che diventarono indipendenti dopo il 1945 hanno affrontato costosi conflitti civili successivamente. Evidenze empiriche suggeriscono che l’investimento del colonizzatore in state capacity sia uno dei determinanti del conflitto civile nelle ex colonie. Una buona state capacity, nelle forme di una burocrazia efficiente, una forza di polizia che funziona, un sistema giudiziario indipendente, capacità fiscale, hanno impedito il falli¬mento dello stato e il conflitto civile, una volta che l’indipendenza fu ottenuta. Una teoria è sviluppata per studiare il comportamento strategico dei colonizzatori nello scegliere l’investimento in state capacity nella colonia. Una buona state capacity crea un aumento di produttività nell'economia coloniale, ma come effetto collaterale previene il conflitto civile in caso di indipendenza, e quindi aumenta l’incentivo della colonia di combattere per essa. I colonizza¬tori quindi scelgono il livello di investimento in state capacity comparando l’aumento di produttività con il maggiore costo militare per mantenere il potere quando la colonia punta all’indipendenza. L’investimento in state capacity in equilibrio dipende dal matching tra l’identità del colonizzatore (un colonizzatore con un impero coloniale più vasto avrà un costo militare medio più basso) e l’identità della colonia (l’aumento di produttività dipende dalla presenza di risorse naturali, distanza dal mare). Se il colonizzatore è forzato a lasciare la colonia a causa di eventi esogeni, la mancanza di state capacity, e l’inefficienza del processo di decolonizzazione, determinano la presenza o meno di conflitto civile dopo l’indipendenza.

Full textAt the beginning of the twentieth century, in Brazil, a radical artistic rupture took place, which marked the beginning of a new era. The resulting modernity differed from its European counterpart by the awareness of geographical, cultural and political distances that alienated Brazil from Europe and more specifically from its former colonial owner, Portugal. Brazilian modernity sought to define its identity through important basic elements that constitute the stuff that the New World is made of: cross-breeding, mythology and post-colonialism. The Brazilian avant-garde emerged around 1928 with the publication of The Anthropophagy Manifesto by Oswald de Andrade (1890-1954), who is thus the founder of the Anthropophagy, that we can define as a backward step into a reinvented form of ″Amerindianness″. The ″bad savage″ voices his criticism against impostures of the world. « Anthropophagy art is not a literary revolution, nor is it a social plea, nor a political pamphlet, nor a religious tract. It is all these things at the same time. Its law is simple: everything that is not me is of interest to me. The law of men is the law of Anthropophagy ». It thus prescribes eating up imported models and digesting them through the process of hybridization in the name of Brazilian identity. By displacing Freudian concepts, «Anthropophagy is the permanent transformation of the Taboo (man-eating) into a Totem (Brazilian identity) ». The permeating influences of psychoanalysis and anthropology need to be put in perspective: the displacement of the anthropophagous taboo remains a symbolic act of transgression, a metaphor, but the anthropophagic reference does not concern the pre-Columbian period, because it is updated. We propose to study this phenomenon through four questions: 1°- What are the relations between Anthropophagy, history, esthetics and ideology? 2°- What is the place of women Brazilian artists in the emergence of this movement, taking into account their decisive presence right from the start? 3°- Taking into account the resurgence of Anthropophagy from the second half of the 20th century onwards, what is the place of women artists in this phenomenon? Are they pursuing the same interests as the founders of the movement?4°- Can we deduce that there exists a specifically female genre within the anthropophagic movement of yesterday and of today? If so, what is its relevance? Where does it stand with respect to the contemporary concepts of post-modernity and globalization in the present-day art world?

Aiming at a multidisciplinary approach, the analysis is oriented by concepts that put in evidence determinant factors of the dualistic nature of colonial situation. The approach to the various cultural strategies used by Portugal to support its imperial \"vocation\" represents a significative part of this study. It tries to understand some details of the Portuguese project, by framing it within a wider perspective that could not neglect Western History. Starting from the study of the two conceptions of assimilation and its luso-tropicalistic development (the use of the theory carried out by the Portuguese \"New State\" regime) the analysis focus on the origins of nationalism as well as on the new dynamics introduced in the territory by the guerrilla tactics used during national liberation struggle. Concerning FRELIMO\'s national identity policy, this research privileges the dialectics it establishes with traditional societies of Mozambique.

Full textThis study aims to analyze the representation of the colonial situation and which are the results of the dichotomy colonizer and colonized in Mozambican and Angolan societies through the novels O outro pé da sereia (COUTO, 2006) and Yaka (PEPETELA, 2006). In addition, it aims to examine how the novels rely on colonial past of its countries to discuss issues about the societies mentioned, evaluating the prospects contained in the present. It was established an analysis of the novels from an historical process in common, which is the Lusitanian colonization, to explain the contradictions resulting from this situation. For that, we rely on a dialogue between literature and history, present in the reading of O outro pé da sereia and Yaka, to identify and highlight the colonial contradictions, especially the ones related to the representations of violence and racism in both novels.

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to investigate the relevance of the concept of cultural hydbridity to an understanding of the phenomena of social and cultural change. It is my intention to focus on those theorists who question the purity and homogeneity of cultures, and believe instead that all cultures are inherently hybrid, and that intercultural exchange helps to intensify the mixture in unpredictable ways. At the same time, I examine the concept of hybridity underlying My Beautiful Laundrette, trying to relate it to the theories above

This research reaches to draw some reflective lines about coloniality in Brazilian reality, aiming to find where your reproducibility anchors and where the resistance movements in the social sphere are. Starting from concepts such as the Subjectivity Production, the Governmentality and the Unconscious Colonial-Capitalistic, reach to debate coloniality as a model of subjectivation, where governmental, elitist and oligarchical acts promote social maintenance of this subjective trait. In order to explain some governmental and subjective coloniality traits, was made a brief historical study based on work Raízes do Brasil, by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, in addition to articles that report the performances of Brazilian politicians post-impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. By referencing and connecting the colonial policies practices described in the Holanda book, with the performances of politicians presented in the reports, it searches to explain the complexity of constant update of colonial values in socio-political scenario. In this, apparently crystallized by forms of existence that match the hierarchy of the current cultural grid, we introduce the cinema as a resistance point by its ritualistic capability on rearrenge the forces compositions made presents in this context. To explore this complexity, the film "The Second Mother?", by Anna Muylaert, was chosen because represent parts of the social and affectively movements placed on action in the period undertaken in this research. These are movements that encompass both the maintenance practices of socio-political order, as their contestation and destabilization practices. Recounting the film narrative, expose the layers of perception of the forces placed on clash in filmic plot. As we approach the characters through their experiences, we inhabit positions that our bodies potentially assume, whether in the arraignment of hierarchical maintenance, or in the management of other ways of living. The film, therefore, act as a device capable of assembling the rupture forces of the colonial-capitalistic model updated by social and governmental practices and, in this way, enables fertile space for the proliferation of existential territories that are not allowed to exist by the same modelling
A presente pesquisa busca traçar algumas linhas reflexivas acerca da colonialidade na realidade brasileira, objetivando encontrar onde se ancora sua reprodutibilidade e onde se fazem seus movimentos de resistência na esfera social. Partindo de conceitos como Produção de Subjetividade, Governamentalidade e Inconsciente Colonial-Capitalístico, procura-se pensar a colonialidade como um modelo de subjetivação, em que atos governamentais, elitistas e oligárquicos promovem a manutenção social desse traço subjetivo. Com o intuito de explanar sobre alguns traços da colonialidade governamental e subjetiva, é feito um breve estudo histórico embasado na obra Raízes do Brasil, de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, e em reportagens que relatam as atuações dos políticos brasileiros pós-impeachment de Dilma Rousseff. Ao referenciar e conectar as práticas políticas coloniais descritas no livro de Holanda com as atuações dos políticos apresentadas pelas reportagens, busca-se explicitar a complexidade da atualização constante dos valores coloniais no cenário político-social. Nesse cenário, aparentemente cristalizado por formas de existir que correspondem à hierarquia da grade cultural vigente, buscou-se o cinema como ponto de resistência, por esse apresentar certa potencialidade ritualística na recomposição das forças que se presentificam em tal contexto. Para explorar essa complexidade, o filme Que Horas Ela Volta?, de Anna Muylaert, foi escolhido por representar social e afetivamente parte dos movimentos colocados em ação no período de realização desta pesquisa. Trata-se de movimentos que englobam tanto as práticas de manutenção da ordem político-social vigente quanto as práticas de contestação e desestabilização. Recontando a narrativa do filme, expõem-se as camadas de percepção das forças colocadas em embate na trama fílmica. Ao nos aproximarmos dos personagens, habitamos, através de suas vivências, posicionamentos que assumimos potencialmente em nossos corpos, seja na denúncia da manutenção hierárquica, seja no agenciamento de outros modos de viver. O filme passa, portanto, a atuar como um dispositivo capaz de agenciar forças de ruptura à modelação colonial-capitalística atualizada pelas práticas sociais e governamentais e, desta maneira, possibilita espaço fértil para a proliferação de territórios existenciais que se encontram impedidos de existir por essa mesma modelação

Full textEste trabajo recoge los escritos que, a lo largo de la historia, desde las primeras referencias europeas del siglo XIV hasta el nacimiento de Guinea Ecuatorial como estado independiente, se han ocupado de la isla de Fernando Poo (actual Bioko) y de los territorios del golfo de Guinea que estuvieron bajo soberanía española hasta 1968; recopila el discurso literario (novela, relato de viajes, memorias…) sobre ese lugar como espacio colonial, escribe una historia cultural; no una historia de la literatura de la Guinea española sino una historia de la literatura sobre la Guinea española. Escribir la historia de la literatura escrita sobre un territorio no es escribir la historia de la literatura producida en ese territorio (que es la aproximación clásica a las literaturas nacionales, a menudo mediada por la lengua en la que se produce la obra literaria, hecho que provoca no pocos conflictos y discusiones), sino recopilar las obras que tienen como objeto ese territorio, sin discriminar ninguna por razón de autoría, lengua u origen geográfico. Al hacerlo, la tesis revela un mosaico de autores, documentos e idiomas que prueban que la Guinea española en realidad nunca fue española del todo y pone de relieve la conexión atlántica del territorio, con lo que ayuda a construir la noción de Global Hispanophone e incorpora las culturas y experiencias históricas de Guinea Ecuatorial a las del norte de África y Filipinas, entre otras entidades geográficas, todos los territorios que alguna vez estuvieron unidos bajo el imperio español, particularmente como existía más allá de América Latina, el Caribe y la propia Península Ibérica. Cada capítulo incluye un resumen histórico del momento estudiado, una cronología de los acontecimientos más relevantes ocurridos en la colonia y en la metrópolis, la lista de todas las ediciones y traducciones de las obras publicadas en ese momento, una lectura distante [distant reading] de las obras, una prosopografía de los autores de las mismas y el análisis en profundidad de una selección de textos, imágenes y acontecimientos históricos que sirve para conformar el archivo colonial sobre la Guinea española. Los anexos recogen la lista ordenada alfabéticamente de todo el corpus trabajado y las obras completas de tres autores prácticamente desconocidos dentro de la crítica literaria hispánica (José de Gardoqui, Celestino Testore y Ugo Mione). Finalmente, la bibliografía incluye más de 2000 referencias que se presentan como herramienta de trabajo para futuras investigaciones.
This dissertation collects the writings that, throughout history, from the 14th century first European references to the birth of Equatorial Guinea as an independent state, have discussed the island of Fernando Poo (present-day Bioko) and the territories of the Gulf of Guinea which were under Spanish sovereignty until 1968; it collects literary discourse (novel, travel narratives, memoirs...) about that place as a colonial space, writes a cultural history; not a history of Spanish Guinean literature but a history of literature about Spanish Guinea. Writing the history of the literature written about a territory is not the same as writing the history of the literature produced in that territory (which is the classical approach to national literatures, often mediated by the language in which literary work are written, a fact that provokes quite a few conflicts and discussions), but to collect the works that have that territory as their object, without leaving anything out because of its authorship, its language or its geographical origin. In doing so, the thesis reveals a mosaic of authors, documents and languages that prove that Spanish Guinea was never completely Spanish and highlights the Atlantic connection of the territory, helping to build the notion of Global Hispanophone and incorporating the cultures and historical experiences of Equatorial Guinea into those of North Africa and the Philippines, among other geographical entities, all the territories that were once united under the Spanish empire, particularly as it existed beyond Latin America, the Caribbean and the Iberian Peninsula itself. Each chapter includes a historical summary of the time studied, a chronology of the most relevant events in the colony and metropolis, the list of all editions and translations of the works published at that time, a distant reading of the works, a prosopography of the authors of the works and the in-depth analysis of a selection of texts, images and historical events that serves to form the colonial archive about Spanish Guinea. The annexes contain the alphabetically ordered list of the entire working corpus and the complete works of three authors virtually unknown within Hispanic literary critique (José de Gardoqui, Celestino Testore and Ugo Mione). Finally, the bibliography includes more than 2000 references that are presented as a working tool for future research.
