Abstract

The text proposes a reading of the book Episódios: da teorização estética em Fernando Pessoa, by Rita Patrício. The book is from 2012, and it only was really ready, and also published, in 2014. The reading defends the originality of this thorough examination of the texts about aesthetic and literary theory by Fer­nando Pessoa, either for the way as he deals with the texts, autonomously from the poetical work, and as he studies them in their specific writing, or for the effect of displacement of the habitual topics in the analysis of the Portuguese modernist program. The criticism of Pessoa’s idealism, as well as of the notion of work as organic totality, are highlighted while conducting gestures of the whole research. It is also proposed articula­tions with other recent essays that in Portugal do the review of Pessoas’ criticism and hermeneutics.
