Conversas sobre Yvone Kane (2015), de Margarida Cardoso: discurso racista e favorecimento da imagem do grupo de pertença

Abstract

Yvone Kane (2015) by Margarida Cardoso is a film that brings to the present memories of a revolutionary and post-revolutionary period, involving Portuguese and Mozambicans, and which question current social representations of history. How do young Portuguese and Mozambicans dialogue with the representations of the African/European “other” proposed by the film? What relationship do they develop with a film that questions current discourses about history and identity, in both countries? The film was shown and discussed in universities in Portugal and in Mozambique, with undergraduate students. We present a reading of Yvone Kane and then the result of these conversations, in a critical discursive analysis, that reveals the persistence of racist stereotypes, as well as the construction of narratives that favor the image of the belonging group.
