Olu phando lohlalutyo lukwaluncomo-gxeko lwemisebenzi kaJolobe, injongo yalo kukubonisa ukuba lukho uqhagamshelwano phakathi kobomi bakhe jikelele kunye noncwadi lwakhe. Ulwazi olunjalo lungathi lube luncedo kwiphulo elibalulekileyo ekuncediseni kulwazi lokubhala ibhayografi yakhe. Kubonakele kufanelekile ukuba iphulo elinjalo lenziwe ukukhumbula imisebenzi emikhulu eyenziwe ngamaqhawe abantu abaNtsundu abathe banegalelo elikhulu ekuphakanyiswni koncwadi lwemvelo kwakunye nenkuqubela phambili kwimfundo yabantu abangama-Afrika beli lizwe. Umzekelo uJolobe ulusebenzele ukuba uncwadi lwakhe ukuxwayisa abantu bakowabo abaNtsundu ngemfundo nolwazi olwakhaya. Ukwalusebenzise uncwadi lwakhe ukuvusa abantu ama-Afrika balumke kwingozi zemimoya yocinezelo lwabo ngurhulumente ocalule abantu abaNtsundu kuba bebantsundu ngebala. Nangona uncwadi lwakhe ulenze lwabasisonwabiso kodwa ikhakhulu ulusebenzise kwanokunika intuthuzelo, ithemba kwanokomelela kubantu abathe bacinezelwe zimeko zobomi ukuba bangalahli ithemba loluzuza impumelelo, kuba izinto zingatshintsha ebomini babo ngokuhamba kwamaxesha. Kwakhona ukongeza uncwadi lwakhe ulusebenzise ukuphakamisa nokuhambisela phambili ulwimi lwemveli, inkcubeko, imbali ngokusebenzisa isixhobo esiluncwadi lwakhe ukuze ezi ngongoma zikhankanyisweyo zihlale ezincwadini zakhe ezithe zazisele zolwazi, zingabi nakuze zife kuba zililifa lesizwe esiNtsundu, Uninzi loncwadi olubhalwe nguJolobe luthe lwaxoxwa kwesi sifundo, kodwa kuye kwaphonongwa ikakhulu uncwadi lwemibongo, inoveli idrama kuba kubonakele ukuba lo msebenzi ubanzi kakhulu kwaye esi sifundo kubonakele ukuba kungabanzima ukuba singagqibeka lula, kodwa ke uJolobe ubengumntu okhutheleyo. Ubhale incwadi eziliqela ngenxa yothando lwakhe lobhalo loncwadi oluqhutywe ngumbono wakhe wobuthandazwe, wokubona kubalulekile ukuba inani loncwadi olubhaliweyo esiXhoseni linyuke kwaye libe kwizinga eliphezulu, ukuze umzi wasemaXhoseni nowamanye ama-Afrika ngokubanzi ungalambathi ngoncwadi lokufunda ujongelwe phantsi ngokuba semva kwinkqubela phambili zezinye izizwe Ingokuphandle uncwadi lukaJolobe lubonakela luyinxenye yobomi bakhe. Kulunye uncwadi kwakhe kufumaniseka ukuba ukubhale endululwe zizinto ezithe azamphatha kakuhle ebomini bakhe zazaza ezo zinto zawuphazamisa umoya wakhe, nentlalo yakhe wada waqanda ukuba makabhale aphokoze okukuphuphuma kwengcinga zakhe ukuzithuthuzela kwanokuphilisa kwanabanye abantu abathe badibana neenzima ezinjalo zobomi. Umzekelo: iimeko zopolitiko zeli lizwe zithe zabuchaphazela ubomi bakhe, oko kubesisiphumo sokuba abhale incwadi yakhe yedrama apho adiza ngeemeko zokuphatheka kwabantu baseBhayi kwilokishi eyathi yabelwa bona ngurhulumnte wobandlululo, apho ebexelenga khona njengetitshala kwanoMfundisi weliZwi. Kanti noncwadi apho athe wabonisa ukuvuya khona olo luvuyo olusukela kwinto ethe yamvuyisa emalunga nobomi bakhe, izimvo zakhe kwanenkolo yakhe njengomntu, kwanendlela akhule ngayo. Umzekelo, uJolobe uye wazisa abafundi bakhe ukuba iimbalo zakhe zisukele kwizinto ezithe zamchukumisa ebomini bakhe. Ngoko ke kwabonakala ukuba olu phando luluncedo ekusungulweni kweprojekti yokubhalwa kwebhayografi kaJolobe neya kuba luncedo kwimisebenzi yophando olubalulekileyo kuncwadi kuba iincwadi ezinje zityebile ngolwazi olubalulekileyo ekungena kucingelwa ukuba lunokufunyanwa kulo.

Este estudo tem por objetivo observar relações entre a filosofia africana e a literatura africana produzida em Angola por Boaventura Cardoso e sua troca de influências atuais. Particularmente focando no aspecto que retrata os elementos constituintes dessa filosofia de matriz africana de acordo com os trabalhos de Paulin Hountondji, Henry Odera Oruka, Kwasi Wiredu, Wamba-Dia-Wamba e Sophie Oluwole articulando seus conceitos, suas manifestações e influências na cultura, política, religião, sociedade e educação angolana retratados na narrativa de Mãe, Materno Mar. Ao investigar e mapear a inserção de uma filosofia africana na literatura africana em língua portuguesa, quais processos adotados, fontes e objetivos presentes na produção literária de Boaventura Cardoso, consagrado autor africano, a pesquisa procura evidenciar o modelo de seu projeto literário nacional conciliando com alguns artigos de autoria de Luís Kandjimbo e Carmen Lúcia Tindó Secco. Os debates, as similaridades e as diferenças entre as matrizes de conhecimento ocidental e africano presentes nessa cultura representada pelo escritor são de evidente importância para a compreensão dos fluxos e refluxos entre a literatura, a filosofia e a realidade angolana e se apoiam nas pesquisas de José Castiano, Peter J. King, Gaston Bachelard e Pedro Francisco Miguel. Este estudo propõe-se a trabalhar a literatura como a possibilidade de uma reflexão filosófica. Desta forma, o fazer literário exige por assim dizer, um esforço não apenas de significação e construção de palavras, mas algo para além das fronteiras da própria linguagem. O objetivo deste estudo é contribuir para o delineamento do trabalho e do projeto literário de Boaventura Cardoso sob uma perspectiva filosófica e como eles se ajustam às dificuldades, à conveniência e aos desígnios de uma sociedade angolana. / This study aims to observe relations between the African philosophy and African literature produced in Angola by Boaventura Cardoso and his exchange of current influences. Particularly focusing on the aspect which depicts the elements of this philosophy of African origin according to the works of Paulin Hountondji, Henry Odera Oruka, Wamba-Dia-Wamba, Kwasi Wiredu e Sophie Oluwole, articulating its concepts, its manifestations and influence on culture, politics, religion, society and angolan education portrayed in the narrative of, Mãe, Materno Mar. When investigating and mapping the insertion of an African Philosophy in african literature in Portuguese, which adopted processes, sources and objectives are in the literary production of Boaventura Cardoso, consecrated African author, the research seeks to highlight the model of their national literary project reconciling with articles by Luís Kandjimbo e Carmem Lúcia Tindó Secco. The debates, the similarities and differences between western and african knowledge matrices present in this culture represented by the writer are of obvious importance to understand the ebbs and flows between literature, philosophy and the angolan reality and they are based on the research of José Castiano, Peter J. King, Gaston Bachelard and Pedro Francisco Miguel. This study aims to work the literature as the possibility of a philosophical reflection. Thus, the literary make demands as it were, an effort not only of meaning and construction of words, but something beyond the boundaries of language itself. The aim of this study is to contribute to the design of work and literary project of Boaventura Cardoso in a philosophical perspective and how they fit to the difficulties, the convenience and the designs of an angolan society.

In the West African country of Mali, fourteen languages are recognized by the constitution as official. Of these, one is French, the language of the former colonial power, and the other thirteen are indigenous African languages. These languages have traditionally been used for oral communication and storytelling, but as the technology of writing has been introduced, the languages have been codified and used by some writers in creative writing. This thesis explores the reasons writers in this plurilingual environment select the language in which they write. It provides a portrait of how writers perceive their role in the traditionally oral culture of Mali. Through an examination of connected institutions such as education and development, my work exposes the different forces that shape the choices made by these writers.
