Panel 6: Representation e self-representation in lusophone african space (Livia Apa)

Panel Organiser: Livia Apa

The panel could present papers about lusophone african countries from the point of view of their representation and self-representation related to the ancient imperial centre and the political and identitary discourse of the "lusofonia" system.
Papers pretend to present specific cases of renaming and rebuilding the ancient imperial space in "periferic" contexts like Angola or Cape Vert Islands such as in diasporic contexts.
