Abstract

This paper examines the intersections between memory and identity in the depictions of the “Batepá Massacre” by the poets Alda Espírito Santo and Conceição Lima. By juxtaposing them with the concept of haunting as defined by Avery Gordon, and with the sociology of absences and the sociology of emergences, proposed by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, I realized that, for generational reasons, the ghosts that inhabit their texts are greatly distinctive, manifesting diverse notions of a Santomean cultural identity.
