Paper long abstract:

Capverdian literature was built between the land and the sea, developing its general corpus through a permanent quest of the role of the sea in identity and memory.

This presentation aims at being a reflexion on forms of writing on the presence and traces of memory of the sea in capverdian literature, from Eugénio Tavares (1867-1930) to José Luís Tavares. We will also refer to the generation of Claridade and the “builders” of independence, such as Ovídio Martins, Mário Fonseca, Corsino Fortes and others.
