Specifically, I address how these women writers engage the public sphere through their fiction's focus on formative but still controversial events in Portugal's recent history. I argue that the novels I analyze play a critical and transformative role as they question the still imperialist discourse of Portuguese national culture produced by the state and the media, among others. By giving voice to other stories and/or experiences that were, and still are, traditionally excluded by the hegemonic narratives of the nation, and inspired by the sociology of absences developed by Portuguese sociologist Boaventura de Sousa Santos, I claim that they form a canon of a "literature of absences" that focuses on colonialism and its aftermath in order to push the boundaries of the still crystalized representations of the Portuguese empire, and to showcase their myriad reverberations in postcolonial Portugal. Ultimately, in times that call for an urgent and necessary decolonization of the former European empires, this dissertation aims to contribute to surveying the different ways contemporary, women-authored fiction in Portugal imagines a post-imperial condition. 2020-11-13 Portuguese text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1593441909219757 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1593441909219757 restricted--full text unavailable until 2023-08-25 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
