The article aims to reflect on temporalities and dystopic times present in contemporary narratives of Angola, in both literature and cinema. Based on the novels O desejo de Kianda (1995) and O quase fim do mundo (2008), by Pepetela, and in the film Ar condicionado (2020), by the filmmaker Fradique (Mário Bastos) and the producer Jorge Cohen, it is intended to carry out a survey of allegorical representations, investigating and discussing their respective meanings and the place of criticism and resistance in narratives considered dystopian.
