O knihe

This paper seeks to analyze the character in the Mozambican literary narrative in the light of Gilles Lipovetsky's philosophical thought. This author defines contemporaneity as a hypermodern time, meaning a moment subsequent to modernity, characterized by a stage of planetary culture in which the achievements of modernity are intensified in such a way that it becomes possible to speak of hypercapitalism, hypercognition, hyperindividualism and hyperconsumption. Based on these subcategories and conceptualizing the character as a synecdoche of the current condition of the African being, the paper adopts a hermeneutic method and dilucidates that the Mozambican literary narrative, through characters such as Zabela, Manua, Carolina and Saíde, raises a reflection around the insertion of the African being in contemporaneity. The paper concludes that the African being has two possibilities of insertion in the hypermodern cosmos: one as an object, the other as a subject. As a transcendence of these conditions, the paper proposes the concept of hypersubjectivation as a possibility of gestation of the hypermodern subject.
