<b>Concealment and departures: the trauma in <i>Antes de nascer o mundo</i> by Mia Couto
Abstract
This work aims to analyze the trauma in Antes de nascer o mundo by the Mozambican author Mia Couto. Starting from the Freudian reflections, we intend to examine the positive and negative effects of the trauma confronting the positions of the characters Silvestre Vitalício and Marta in the face of the traumatic experience lived by each of them. Drawing on the theoretical reference mainly from reflections by Sigmund Freud, Márcio Seligmann-Silva and Stuart Hall, we will examine how the narrative of the catastrophe allows the characters of the novel to (re)invent their identities shattered by the trauma.
