Os Lugares na Obra Jornalística e Literária de Luís Fernando: Crónicas e 'Silêncio na Aldeia'

Abstract

Luís Fernando is a contemporary Angolan author who writes both literary and journalistic work. In both he dedicates particular attention to the relationship established between individuals and their place of residence, their customs and traditions. The goal of this article is to study the way in which literary and journalistic text entangles the tension and cooperation that link these two constructors of human geography, ascertaining if there are substantial differences between the representations of those connections in the two types of writing. Using qualitative methodology, content analysis, it is possible to determine that there are no major differences. The author in fact resorts to common themes and brings forth similar topics in both types of texts.
