Veiga, à luz do conto “Gavião veio do sul e pum!”, de Boaventura Cardoso. História em revista, Pelotas, v. 30, n. 2, p. 47-61, 2025. DOI: 10.15210/hr.v30i2.29089.

Acesso em: 18 ago. 2025.e- 2596-2876https://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/28463We propose to unveil the similarities and differences between the novel Sombras de reis barbudos (1972), written by José J. Veiga from Goiás, and the short story “Gavião veio do sul e pum!”, written by the Angolan Boaventura Cardoso, from a horizontal and “transtextual” comparative perspective (TRIGO, 1991), adopting, for this purpose, the notion of a political and aesthetic communitarianism between Brazil and Portuguese-speaking African countries (ABDALA JR, 2014). Thus, it can be said that the literature of both authors “phagocytosed” other spheres of knowledge, such as history and sociology, reconfiguring the past to the extent that it gave voice and protagonism to subjects excluded by the respective historical processes – namely, military dictatorship, represented under the realist perception by the literary form of the historical novel (AINSA, 1991; ANDERSON, 2007; SILVA, 2016; ESTEVES, 2010; LUKÁCS, 1965; 2011), on the one hand, and the war of independence through the Angolan short story, on the other.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Literatura e históriaBoaventura Cardoso e José J.
