Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea of launching a research project about this subject first arose after the seminar O G\u00c9NERO AFRICANO: Meandros da Problem\u00e1tica do G\u00e9nero em \u00c1frica <\/em>[The African Gender: the meanderings of gender problematics in Africa<\/em>] in association with WELWITSCHIA \u2013 Casa da Cultura Angolana) held at the FLUL on 15 May 2013. It is noted that the media (e.g. Expresso, <\/em>11-05-2013) considered this event\u00a0 to be unprecedented, since in Africa the issue has only been\u00a0 discussed concerning the condition of women.<\/p>\n

The project aims to discuss GENDER in different knowledge fields that are relevant in order to raise broad debates within feminist and masculinities theories and the critical analysis of different contexts and case studies in specific areas and across the multiple strands gender and sexual orientation through literary and media discourses in Portuguese-speaking world and mainly in African countries.<\/p>\n

Keywords:<\/strong> Gender; sexuality; difference; representations; tradition.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This project has two research lines:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Media Discourse as a reflection of the \u201ctraditional\u201d approach to gender differences in the urban centres of the Five Portuguese-speaking African countries.<\/li>\n
  • Literary Discourse since the colonial era, using strategic symbols in the literary building of nation and contemporary imaginary categories of citizenship that go beyond \u201ctradition\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
