Tópicos sugeridos:

1) What qualifies reporting in Africa as “literary journalism”? How does it differ from traditional models produced in the US or in Europe? What makes African journalism about war particularly “literary” and can African literary aesthetics be appreciated on their own merits or must they adhere to Western standards?

2) Does this “literary’” nature of African journalism feed into white colonialist fantasies about black Africa (as Kapuściński has been charged)? Is it voyeuristic? Or does it capture the realities of war better than traditional journalism?

3) Do literary journalists in Africa maintain an objective stance in their reportages? What is their relationship with their readers? Their newspapers? Their publishers? Their countries? What ideological changes take place when the literary journalist writing in Africa is African, European or American?

4) Why use literary journalism instead of traditional news reporting when covering wars in Africa? How does one become a literary journalist in Africa and what are the consequences?

5) What noticeable changes take place in the literary journalism written during colonial, decolonial and postcolonial times? How do the differing natures of the wars shape the reportage that they produce? Do these reportages follow European models, or have distinct nationalist models emerged over the years? If so, what has instigated the changes?

Os artigos deverão ser submetidos até ao próximo dia 15 de Outubro de 2015.
