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 Atlanticism, which seems to be the matrix base of an além-mar ideology (first, ultramarinista; and, from the twentieth century, that of “coloniality”), and is a category of different corpora 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 loci in the Portuguese colonial heritage – the colonial literature.
