Abstract

THE HEGELIAN THEOREM OF THE "IDENTITY OF IDENTITY AND DIFFERENCE" SUGGESTS THE JUXTAPOSITION OF TWO DIFFERENTS AUTHORS: AN AMERICAN LATE MODERNIST (WILLIAN GADDIS, 1985) AND AN ANGOLAN WRITER (PEPETELA, 1992). BOTH THE NOVELS POSE A IMPLICIT QUESTION, HISTORICAL AND FORMAL, ABOUT THE LITERARY REPRESENTATION OF THE POLITICAL CONTEMPORARY EXPERIENCE DEGRADED UNDER THE CAPITAL.
