Abstract:

This project addresses the historical process of construction of Indigenous and African languages in the Brazilian and African contexts. For doino so, the project articulates socio-history of Indigenous (Guarani) and African (Kimbundu and Kikongo) languages with language policy and planning. The project seeks to understand the colonial and post-colonial processes that helped to shape an idea of language (Portuguese, African, indigenous, Afro-Brazilian). The focus is how colonial Lusophony used Portuguese as a political tool to impose specific modes of government and control. We also analyse post-colonial language policies related to those contexts. We focus on the historical relationship berween Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and East Timor. Furthermore, we aim at mapping the concepts of orality – in relation to the notions of memory, tradition, body and oral literature – in order to understand the way orality integrates language practices, especially in Brazil, helping to define what counts as Brazilian popular Portuguese. Our main theoretical reference is based on a critical perspective (Ashraf, Makoni e Severo, 2020; Severo e Makoni, 2015; Zwartjes, 2011; Altman, 2011; Deumert, 2010; Irvine, 2008; Mariani, 2006; Zwartjes e Altman, 2005; Makoni e Meinhof, 2004; Freire e Rosa, 2003; Errington, 2001; Fardon e Furniss, 1993, Phillipson, 1992).
