Abstract

The objective of this work is to present a postcolonial reading of the short stories "Oxen Talk", by the Brazilian writer Guimarães Rosa, and "The day Mabata-Bata exploded", by the Mozambican writer Mia Couto. To this end, we seek first to approach the concepts of post-colonialism and, at the same time, of orientalism, which are fundamental for a better understanding of the historical, political, and social context of the former Portuguese colonies, Brazil and Mozambique, whose literatures are sometimes alike. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of both short stories was carried out, taking into account that they refer to, from the metaphorical approach of the figure of the ox, the process of exploration of the colonized subject.
