          Abstract

          Através da análise de O Olho de Hertzog de João Paulo Borges Coelho (2010), pretendem-se discutir os processos de construção narrativa entre ficção, História e memória. Partindo da interpretação da perspetiva ‘ex-cêntrica’ da Primeira Guerra Mundial, apresentada por esta obra que assume um caráter híbrido entre romance policial e histórico, analisar-se-á o reposicionamento de identidade moçambicana face a esta narrativa dominante. Esta ideia será sustentada através do estudo de algumas narrativas do romance que, pelo seu caráter intencional de ‘meia-verdade’, problematizam a memória como prática de resgate do passado, mostrando o potencial das ambiguidades entre história, memória e ficção num contexto de busca de identidade.

          Translated abstract

          Through the analysis of João Paulo Borges Coelho’s novel O Olho de Hertzog (2010), this essay aims to discuss the processes of narrative construction between fiction, History and memory. The repositioning of Mozambican identity towards the dominant narrative will be analyzed by starting with an interpretation of the ‘ex-centric’ perspective of the First World War presented by this book, which assumes a hybrid character between detective and historical novel. This idea is supported by the study of a number of narratives in the novel which, due to their deliberate ‘halftruth’ character, meditate on memory as a practice of recovering the past, showing the potential of the ambiguities between history, memory and fiction in the context of a search for identity.
