The study is set in the context of Portuguese colonialism in Africa and Asia, in the nineteenth and twentieth century. By focusing on a variety of ways of \u2018becoming Other\u2019 and \u2018going native\u2019, the project investigated the incorporation of indigenous ideas, technologies, materials, symbols or customs by colonial agents, and the consequences it entails for colonial interchanges, forms of knowledge, power relations, and modes of identity. In addition, it was our purpose to reassess the concepts of mimesis and imitation in history, anthropology and postcolonial studies, in order to explore their potential beyond the conventional themes of \u2018resistance\u2019, \u2018opposition\u2019 and its indigenous performances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMAGE:<\/strong> Cover of \u201cLa Diffeza di la Razza\u201d, II, 19, 20 March 1939 \u2013 XVII, \u201cAntirazzisti de tutto il mondo, unitevi!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-412","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["en","pt"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"pt":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9767,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/412\/revisions\/9767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
