The Unreal Parents: Studies in sociological fiction – Elisio Macamo

THE IREAL COUNTRY - STUDIES IN SOCIOLOGIC FICTION

An Irreal Country is a work based on texts published on social networks. The author rehearses new ways of doing sociology based on studies of social media through fictionalization. The central idea of this essay is to recognize and recover the depth that the message acquires when words are forced to lose their meaning. Mozambique, like any other society, constitutes the production of new meanings, which, in turn, are a function not of what is said, but of what is not said. The book is thus an invitation to appreciate what Mozambique is, and can still be.
