African social movement of Guinea Fidjus Dibideras in university spaces

Abstract

The article presents different artistic-cultural productions of fidjus dibideras in Guinea-Bissau and its diasporas, as an expression of an African social movement in university spaces. The analysis was elaborated in three moments: in the first, we discuss the emergence of the notion of bidera, prior to the Portuguese colonization; in the second, the transformations that occurred in Guinea, connected transnationally, and, finally,the concept of fidjus dibideras is formulated, giving rise to a new analytical look in the study of cultural productions of its agents.
