Entre Próspero e Caliban: colonialismo, pós-colonialismo e interidentidade

Abstract

If modern western identity comes largely from colonialism, in Portuguese speaking time-space it reflects the particularities of Portuguese colonialism. It is a subaltern colonialism, "colonized" in its semi- peripheral condition, and not wholly understandable to post-colonial thought of central countries, which is based on hegemonic colonialism. This essay proposes the concept of interidentity to picture such complex identity construction, in which features of the colonizer and of the colonized are combined. The lack and the nostalgia of hegemony have lead up to the formation of internal colonialisms that resist up to day. Therefore, the author concludes that Portuguese post-colonialism, in face of neo-liberal globalization, should manifest itself as anticolonialism and as counter-hegemonic globalism.

Se a identidade ocidental moderna resulta em boa medida do colonialismo, no espaço-tempo da língua portuguesa ela reflete as especificidades do colonialismo português. Trata-se de um colonialismo subalterno, ele próprio "colonizado" em sua condição semiperiférica, cuja compreensão escapa ao pensamento pós-colonial dos países centrais, baseado no colonialismo hegemônico. Propõe-se neste ensaio o conceito de interidentidade para figurar tal conformação identitária complexa, com traços de colonizador e de colonizado. A falta e a nostalgia de hegemonia propiciaram a formação de colonialismos internos que perduram até hoje. À luz disso, o autor conclui que o pós-colonialismo português deve manifestar-se, em tempo de globalização neoliberal, como anticolonialismo e como globalismo contra-hegemônico.
