ResumoManoel de Oliveira’s is a landmark in Lusophone Cinema’s revisitation of the history of Portuguese expansion and colonial conflicts. This article aims at analyzing the film’s political import by extrapolating from Jacques Rancière’s meditation on the ‘aesthetic regime’ and from Manoel de Oliveira’s references to Derridean deconstruction. Non ou a Vã Glória de Mandar and Oliveira’s filming praxis both exceed and disrupt the filmmaker’s personal logocentric and teleological theories of history and cinema.
