description <p>Travel permeates the Portuguese literary metropolitan production on Afri­ca since the 19th century and constitutes one of the most important making elements of the Portuguese imperial culture. This originality extends to <em>Atlanticism</em>, which seems to be the matrix base of an <em>além-mar ideology </em>(first, <em>ultramarinista; </em>and, from the twentieth century, that of “coloniality”), and is a category of different <em>corpora </em>of Portuguese literature in the colonial period. This paper aims at analyzing territorial displacement, producer of different otherness perceptions, as one of the most important <em>loci </em>in the Portuguese colonial heritage – the colonial literature.</p>
