UMA OUTRA LÓGICA: ANÁLISE DA OBRA O OUTRO PÉ DA SEREIA, DE MIA COUTO, SOB A PERSPECTIVA DE ESTRATÉGIAS TEXTUAIS QUE SE ALICERÇAM SOBRE OLHARES MÚLTIPLOS

Abstract

In this paper the novel O outro pé da sereia, by Mia Couto, will be analyzed from the premise that the work was strategically constructed to raise some impressions aside from the Western ones. There are many stories that intertwine, although the points of view on them are not the same which supports the idea that the work questions the concept of a single perspective, a single truth. The same story can have many truths and the author draws on substantial textual strategies to raise those questions. The aim of this paper is to investigate how these strategies of textual construction corroborate this thought that, in a way, deconstructs an entire logic of Western thought.
