SUMMARY:

In these chapters of the thesis, an analysis of the approaches of Bissau-Guinean literature, memory and oral tradition was promoted in the literary work Memórias SOMânticas (2016) by the writer Abdulai Sila, from the perspective of the dialogue between the three aspects, in view of the colonial past and the consequent processes of subordination/resistance of local cultures. In this sense, this thesis, still under construction, aims to show and discuss the Bissau-Guinean Literature, from the work of SOMânticas Memories and understand it as an activity of knowledge of the study of art, taking into account, its relevance for literary and cultural studies and above all for the understanding of national identity in the post-colonial context. For that, it was tried to understand the relations between literature and identity in the field of the post-colonial theory, as well as the relations between literary history and the culture of the country under study, as well as the problematization of the relations between history and fiction in the scope of of Bissau-Guinean literature and the importance of orality marks in this writing. An approach to the novel was also carried out, highlighting the importance and recurrence of the genre in the context of the country's literature. The method chosen for the development of the research was analytical-descriptive and of a bibliographic nature, considering SOMânticas Memories (2016) as the object of study. To this end, the work presents the Post-Colonial Theory and Criticism as a basis of support, based on Freitas (2016) and Queiroz (2011) on the issue of Literature and identity; Evaristo (2016) and Chiziane (2013) on Literature, memory and writing; Hall (2003/2006) in reviewing post-colonial theory and criticism; Mata (2014) and Hamilton (1999) on considerations about the literature of Portuguese-speaking African Countries - PALOP, in addition to scholars of the Bissau-Guinean literary system, such as Augel (2007) and Semedo (2020/2011). As a result, it was seen that the novel presents, in different ways, intersections between history and fiction, denouncing the social and political problems faced by Guineans at various moments in their history and in their present. In these denunciations, senses of cultural resistance and identity affirmation are affirmed.
