Abstract(s)
O nacionalismo é um dos temas fundantes da época moderna. E como tal,
marcante das sociedades ocidentais. A sua abordagem atravessa várias áreas do
saber, incluindo o histórico. Definido enquanto princípio político que sustém que a
unidade nacional e a unidade política devem ser perfeitamente coincidentes, o
nacionalismo é também consciência política e sentimento patriótico. Em África, e,
particularmente, em Angola, este sentimento não é aplicável de modo linear. É
necessário, portanto, uma reflexão mais profunda. No contexto da situação colonial,
o nacionalismo em Angola é a via utilizada para reivindicar de modo instrumental,
e, em comparação histórica com nacionalismos de outras paragens e de épocas
mais recuadas, a independência. O presente estudo propõe-se analisar o
nacionalismo e o processo da construção da ideia de nação e de independência de
Angola nos anos de 1956 a 1975. O território de Angola é nesta época
administratado por Portugal. O estudo tenciona, por isso, questionar em que
medida (em Angola) o conceito de Estado e de nação são devedores da cultura
política europeia, como se afirmam os movimentos independentistas e que
estratégias de consciencialização do povo são adoptadas pelas elites angolanas.
Dois métodos, duas perspectivas complementares evidenciam o propósito: o
estudo prosopográfico da elite política e intelectual dos movimentos de libertação
angolanos e a história conceptual.
Nationalism is one of the foundational themes of modern history, starting in the West but then spreading to the non-Western world. My approach crosses different areas of knowledge, with a primary focus on history. Defined as a political principle, nationalism it sustains that the national and political unity should coincide. Nationalism is also a political awareness and patriotic sense. In Africa and in Angola particularly, the construction of nationalism is not linear, it is necessary therefore to have a profound reflection about it. Because of its colonial condition, Angolan nationalism was a means to achieve independence. The present study attempts to analyse the different actors of nationalism, the process of the construction of the idea of state and nation in the years of 1956 and 1975. This study in Angola the concept of nation was indebted to European political culture, how the independentist movements affirmed themselves and what primary strategies of awareness of the people were adopted by the Angolan elites. Two methods will be used: the prosopographical study of the political and intellectual elites of the Angolan independence movements and conceptual history.
