Abstract
The Indian Ocean stands out as a transnational aesthetic paradigm, whose critical and conceptual interrelations make way for several transdisciplinary itineraries that are indispensable to (re)think the episte-mological meaning of the literary representations of imperial and national narratives. By analysing the work of two prominent Mozambican authors, Índicos Indícios by João Paulo Borges Coelho and A Ilha de Próspero by Rui Knopfli, the aim of this text is to tackle the Indian Ocean as a transnational imaginative geography (Ghosh & Muecke, 2007) that has become crucial to (re) signify the matrices of Mozambican past, present and cultural imagination, a paradigmatic archive in an ever-shifting set of idioms around ‘tradition’ (Hofmeyr, 2007).
