Encenações do “drama em gente” no primeiro modernismo português: Orpheu revisited em perspectiva dialógica

Abstract

The present work intends to study Fernando Pessoa’s “drama in people” in both issues of Orpheu magazine (1915). In order to think about the staging of the so-called “drama in gente” Pessoan based on the polyphonic-dialogical relationships established between the texts of Pessoa (orthonym and heteronym) and the other texts in the magazine, our work establishes dialogues with renowned names in Pessoan criticism, such as José Augusto Seabra (1972, 1988), Adolfo Casais Monteiro (1956), Eduardo Lourenço (2017, 2000) and Leyla Perrone-Moisés (1982). Furthermore, taking into account the work of Russian thinker Mikhail Bakhtin (2013, 2011) a fundamental theoretical axis, we will seek to trace points of contact with two other texts that make up the periodical, as well as reflecting on the importance of the figure from the Lisbon poet to the realization of modern Portuguese literature.
