The urge to tell

In this essay, we will attempt to question whether the right to literature — to aesthetic pleasure, to the ambiguous world of controlled fantasy, to the exploration of an unconscious not always intuited but often sensed — is at risk with the emergence of texts artificially constructed by machines, programmed by humans but with a life of their own, challenging an authority on the brink of collapse. How can we ad...

Tudo é história: Cardoso Pires e a lente intrometida

In this short study, we will try to establish a typology that recognises how Cardoso Pires uses history, past and present, and how it interferes with the narrative, conditioning it explicitly. We have divided the study into four parts, which aim to account for this discursive subtlety: historical theatre? / Satire of the past in Alice mode; present history, intrusive, conditioning the discourse; detective story...

La spirale vertigineuse des discours (à propos de Fado Alexandrino d'António Lo...

In this essay, we aim to analyze the way in which Lobo Antunes addresses the theme of the war in Africa and its intimate connection with the April 1974 Revolution. Through hundreds of overlapping voices, this novel brings forth the actors of the war in Africa (Arnaut, 2009: 29, 31, 145) and assigns them experiences - most often traumatic - which they share and attempt to exorcize. Imbued with historically dated...

A urgente necessidade de contar

Neste ensaio, tentaremos questionar se o direito à literatura, ao prazer estético, ao ambíguo mundo de uma fantasia controlada, ao desbravar de um inconsciente nem sempre intuído, mas frequentemente pressentido, estará em risco com a chegada de textos construídos artificialmente por máquinas, programadas por humanos, mas com vida própria, desafiadoras de uma autoridade em risco de derrocada? Como lidar com as n...

Identidade: uma história inacabada

O romance policial de Rubem Fonseca

It was from the 19th century onwards that the interest in reading texts involving detective puzzles began to emerge and a paradigm was quickly established which, with slight variations, has remained almost the same until today. The novels published in recent decades, however, have tended to redefine the code and de-centre these characters, who no longer have the same level of gratu-itous eccentricity (as Poirot...

Visões privadas e imperfeitas: (re)estruturar a história

This short essay intends to study some novels that recreate the past, shifting the omniscient focus to a private sphere that substantially modifies the official knowledge of events and transforms them into something dependent on a partial and unfocused look. It is always translucent mirrors that reflect reality, mirrors that return images transfigured by private (familiar) focusing. In the two novels by Dulce M...

À quoi sert une frontière ? (à propos de 'Le Cabinet des Merveilles' de Mario P...

What is a border for? (about 'Le Cabinet des Merveilles' by Mario Pasa, 'Celui qui est digne d'être aimé' by Abdellah Taïa and 'Zinc' by David Van Reybrouck). The formation of a nation theoretically summons the feeling of belonging to a group and the idea that the differences between individuals are much less important than the affinities that bring them together. If we consider that the notion of identity must...
