Countries such as Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe, and Mozambique, which have Portuguese as their official language, developed their literary productions based on the experiences of colonization and the independence process, factors that strongly influenced their writings. In the African context, this literature seeks to reclaim national identity and value cultural memory. In Mozambique, after independence, the country faced a devastating civil war, a scenario in which works emerged that recount historical experiences, such as the novel Terra Sonâmbula (1992), by Mia Couto. This study analyzes the representation of childhood in times of war, considering the narrative construction methods proposed by the author. The methodology adopts a bibliographical and analytical approach to the literary text, allowing for a broader, more critical and sensitive understanding of the chosen narrative, drawing theoretical support from authors such as: Pires Laranjeira (2001), Rita Chaves (2005), Patrick Chabal (1994), Helena Colonna (2006), among others who contributed to the construction of this study. It concludes that Terra Sonâmbula reveals, through the fragmentation of childhood and the loss of innocence in times of war, how the experience of conflict shapes identities and memories. Therefore, Mia Couto's narrative, by articulating elements of orality and African cultural tradition, constructs a profound reflection on resistance, survival, and hope. 2025-12-15T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6395 Título: Narrativas sobre as mudanças climáticas no x: um estudo semiolinguístico do discurso político-ideológico de direita Abstact: This study aims to analyze discourses on climate change produced by right-wing political profiles on the X (Twitter) platform, drawing on the framework of semiolinguistic discourse analysis. The research is based on the premise that the platform constitutes a central arena for narrative and ideological contestation regarding this topic. A qualitative, bibliographic methodology was adopted, and the corpus consists of seven posts by right-wing politicians, collected between 2023 and 2025. The research stages included a theoretical review, corpus selection, and an analysis of linguistic resources and discursive strategies. The analysis identified three main axes of meaning construction within these narratives: scientific denialism, the downplaying of climate urgency, and the politicization of the issue as a "culture war." Finally, the study discusses how these strategies operate within the communicative contract of X to foster persuasion and reinforce worldviews. The work concludes by demonstrating how semiolinguistic analysis reveals the interplay between language, power, and ideology in the digital sphere. 2025-12-15T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6393 Título: A figura feminina no conto Olhos D’água, de Conceição Evaristo, na perspectiva da amefricanidade Abstact: This study analyzes the short story Olhos d‟Água, by Conceição Evaristo, through the lenses of amefricanidade, matrilineal memory, and motherhood as a political act, highlighting how the author repositions Black women as central subjects of their own narratives. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of Lélia Gonzalez, Stuart Hall, y r nk y w m Pollak, Bosi, and other scholars from Black literature and cultural studies, the research examines how memory functions in the story as a mechanism of identity reconstruction, connecting past and presente through feminine ancestry. The study also investigates how Black motherhood is portrayed not only as an affective experience but as a form of resistance against racist and patriarcal structures that have historically silenced Black women. The analysis demonstrates that escrevivência a key concept in Evaristo‘s work transforms experiences of pain, poverty, abandonment, and affection into a political gesture affirming Black female subjectivity. The study concludes that Olhos d‟Água mobilizes symbolic, cultural, and historical dimensions that re-signify Black identity and expose structural inequalities, reaffirming literature as a tool of memory, resistance, and the reconstruction of subjectivities. This research reinforces the significance of Evaristo‘s work for understanding contemporary Afro-Brazilian literature and for strengthening epistemologies grounded in the experience of the African diaspora. 2025-12-15T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6392 Título: A necessidade da legalização do signwriting e sua importância para a comunidade surda Abstact: In recent decades, advancing discussions on bilingual education and the linguistic rights of deaf individuals have highlighted the central role of Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) as a language of instruction, identity, and knowledge production. However, despite the legal recognition of Libras in Brazil, there remains a lack of an officially regulated written form, which limits the full exercise of literacy, linguistic autonomy, and social participation for the deaf community. Problem: the need to understand why SignWriting—a system capable of graphically recording sign languages—has not yet been legally recognized in the country, and to examine the impacts of this absence on the educational and sociocultural spheres. Rationale: the urgent need to expand the debate on linguistic citizenship, educational equity, and the guarantee of historically neglected rights. General objective: to emphasize the need for the legalization of SignWriting by highlighting the challenges, progress made, and its importance in strengthening the linguistic citizenship of the deaf community. Methodology: this is a bibliographic study based on the analysis of books, scientific articles, official documents, and legislation, sourced from databases such as SciELO, CAPES Periódicos, Google Scholar, and institutional repositories. Results: findings indicate that, although SignWriting is already significantly used in pedagogical practices, cultural productions, and educational materials, its lack of regulation prevents its systematic incorporation into curricula, public policies, and formal teaching processes. Conclusion: the legalization of SignWriting is essential to ensure the right to literacy in one's native language, strengthen the linguistic and cultural identity of the deaf community, and promote greater equity in access to education and text production, thereby contributing to the development of inclusive and socially just educational practices. 2025-12-15T00:00:00Z
