Article 13p.
Laughter can be understood and used by/under several aspects, but in these considerations it is read in its political-ideological bias, in line with the interpretation of the comic in its implication and social responsibility, as recommended by Wole Soyinka (1988), when define it, too, as a resource for raising awareness and facing the structures of oppression. As objects of discussion of these analytical perspectives, the literary corpus is centered on the narratives of the Cape Verdean writers Germano Almeida and Mário Lúcio Sousa, who have great national and international projection, moving through different spaces of artistic and public life, most notably in their performances as literary creators and elected deputies. So, here, in a synthetic way, I trace readings on the works O Meu Poeta ([1990], 1992) and A Morte do Meu Poeta (1998), by Germano Almeida, and Biografia do Língua (2015), by Mário Lúcio Sousa, to problematize how these books use risibility in dealing with demands and categorizations about race, ethnicity, gender and class in the context of Cape Verde. Thus, this work is expected to be able to contribute to the bibliography referring to investigations on Cape Verdean literature(s), as well as to studies about the comic in African writings in Portuguese.
