Antonio Variacoes’s first single, Povo que lavas no rio/Estou alem (1982), offers a radical version of Amalia Rodrigues’s fado “Povo que lavas no rio” (1962). This article considers Variacoes as fadista in order to think fado as queer praxis. Though Variacoes's debut release was a commercial success, his turn as fadista provoked critical derision for what, I argue, is a trans formation of the genre’s gendered codes and practices. Variacoes's queer masculinity gives body and voice to the transgressive sexuality enmeshed within gendered and fetishized repertoires of fado that are most recognizable in the myths and voices of the genre's divas. This article locates Variacoes within a fado genealogy, from Maria Severa to Amalia Rodrigues, of performers who have similarly been unbearable in body and voice. The purpose of this is to draw attention to fado's affective dispersions of sex and reveal how the genre has coalesced in relation to queer tactics and people throughout its history.
安东尼奥·瓦里亚克斯的第一首单曲《Povo que lavas no里约热内卢/Estou alem》(1982)是阿玛莉亚·罗德里格斯(Amalia Rodrigues)的《Povo que lavas no里约热内卢》(1962)的激进版本。本文将Variacoes视为fadista，以便将fado视为酷儿实践。尽管Variacoes的首张专辑在商业上取得了成功，但他作为fadista的转变却引发了评论界的嘲笑，我认为这是对这一类型的性别规范和实践的转变。Variacoes的酷儿阳刚之气赋予了越界的性行为以身体和声音，这些性行为与性别和拜物教的法多曲目交织在一起，在该类型的女主角的神话和声音中最容易辨认。这篇文章将Variacoes定位在一个法多谱系中，从Maria Severa到Amalia Rodrigues，这些表演者在身体和声音上都同样令人难以忍受。这样做的目的是为了引起人们对法多对性的情感分散的关注，并揭示这一流派是如何在其整个历史中与酷儿策略和人物结合在一起的。

This essay examines the formation of masculine identities in the colonial context of Portuguese-speaking African literatures. It does so by considering the dialectic of the colonizer/colonized in relation to hegemonic and non-hegemonic masculinities and the emergence of the "new man" in the Estado Novo and African national liberation movements.

In the present article, I analyze discourses of masculinity and the male body associated with Portugal’s involvement in World War I. I examine these from three perspectives: the national military body; medical and political discussion of disabled bodies; and soldiers’ stories about their own experiences. I draw on the popular press, published memoirs, and government and institutional documents to examine the fluid and shifting accounts of masculinity, disability, and heroism during and just after the war. I argue that representations of heroism in this context are directly linked to the male body; furthermore, they are both variable and constructed to serve specific ideological or personal purposes. More broadly, I conclude that the body in war and disabled by war comes to stand for Portugal’s experiences as a nation at the Western Front, and in the process makes invisible the individual bodies of men who fought for their country.

In the present essay, I examine eroticism in "Dao-lalao," by Brazilian fictionist Joao Guimaraes Rosa (1908-1967). Calling into question Benedito Nunes’s argument that the dialectics of love in Guimaraes Rosa's oeuvre points to a sense of harmony and totality, I view the erotic element in Guimaraes Rosa’s work as a form of transgression. Focusing on the body in “Dao-lalao,” I revisit Guimaraes Rosa’s skepticism regarding reason as the primary vehicle for understanding reality. Whereas Nunes relies on Plato, the Neoplatonists, and the mystic traditions of hermeticism and alchemy, I turn to the philosophy of Georges Bataille (1897-1962). Finally, I propose that in addition to asking probing questions about eroticism as an expression of what Bataille called non-savoir , "Dao-lalao" invites its readers to reconsider race and gender relations within a Brazilian cultural and historical context.

Apos contextualizar o uso do cinema pelos movimentos independentistas das ex-colonias portuguesas, questiono se a actividade cineclubista em Angola contribuiu para o surgimento de um cinema de causas e se o facto da luta pela independencia de Angola ter sido mostrada em reportagens internacionais filmadas foi determinante para o uso do filme como uma arma, ainda antes da influencia do manifesto “Towards a Third Cinema” (1969), de Solanas e Getino. Particularizo o caso do uso do cinema pelo MPLA e analiso, num estudo de caso central para a historia do cinema feito em Africa, os filmes “angolanos” de Sarah Maldoror que adaptam cinematograficamente os contos de Luandino Vieira sobre militância e encarceramento colonial.

This special issue of the Journal of Lusophone Studies explores the multifaceted ways that masculinities are performed and embodied throughout the Portuguese-speaking world. The articles presented here interrogate the concept of masculinity to understand better how the arts engage with and participate in rethinking masculinities. While this volume focuses specifically on expressions of masculinity within the Lusophone world, these articles also broadly engage with questions related to masculinities studies by revealing how, within the Portuguese-speaking world, writers are questioning, destabilizing, and in some cases reifying the concept of masculinity.

Mia Couto's 1992 novel, Terra Sonâmbula , is known for its use of fantastic realism to convey the horrors of the Mozambican civil war and their effects. The supernatural invades the daily experience of the novel’s characters, and these move from the known world into a frequently aqueous and spiritual one. In this essay, I examine Couto's use of water, the supernatural, and the feminine and link these to African religious and cosmological origins. I see Couto's use of the black feminine aqueous divine as an alternate form of national history that gives voice to those who often go unheard in the chaos of war, particularly women and children.

In this volume, Kathryn Bishop-Sanchez has accomplished the challenging but rewarding task of analyzing one of the twentieth century’s most popular culture icons. This is a real feat, given Carmen Miranda’s place in the popular imaginary. Bishop-Sanchez tackles this task brilliantly through the lens of Miranda as a cultural sign, providing a rigorous study of how the latter has served as a constructed and embodied media icon.
