Abstract
- El texto analiza Chibata! João Cândido e a revolta que abalou o Brasil (2008), la novela gráfica de Hemeterio y Olinto Gadelha que documenta el levantamiento de marinos afrobrasileños a comienzos del siglo xx. Pese a que la obra pretende un recuento de los hechos y la documentación de una injusticia, personificada en la suerte del protagonista de la novela, el texto, en realidad, funge de cómplice del oficialismo cultural brasileño, tan dispuesto a valerse del pasado para eximirse de responsabilidades en el presente. Dentro de este contexto, esta novela gráfica es un acertado ejemplo de producción cultural que, pretendiendo avanzar una agenda de intereses raciales latinoamericanos, en efecto, inhibe su correspondiente problematización. Abstract The text discusses Chibata! João Cândido e a revolta que abalou o Brasil (2008), the graphic novel by Hemeterio and Olinto Gadelha, which documents the upri­sing of Afro-Brazilian sailors in the early twentieth century. Though the text posits an account of events and the documenting of injustice, mainly personified in the ill treatment awarded to the narrative’s main character, in reality, the novel serves as accomplice of the national cultural establishment, so eager to make use of the past to redeem itself from responsibilities in the present. Within this context, this graphic novel is a key example of cultural production that, pretending to advance an agenda of Latin American racial interests, in fact inhibits its corresponding problematization.
