Angolan literature, literary movements, writers, contemporary literatureAbstract
In 2019, we carried out a series of interviews with various actors in the cultural field in Angola. On that occasion, as part of doctoral research carried out at the State University of Campinas (IEL/UNICAMP), our intention was to map the contemporary cultural framework in Angola. This research was part of our thesis, defended in 2022. Based on this material, we intend, in this text, to take the interviews carried out to draw an analytical framework about the literary movements currently undertaken by Angolan civil society, in addition to problematizing the challenges that still face those who wish to publish literary works in the country and analyze State policy for Culture.
