Description

Abstract:
The Spring and Summer of 1915 saw the appearance in Lisbon of the two issues of the modernist magazine Orpheu. Initially intended as a quarterly, the magazine had a short lifespan and, mainly due to financial pressures, the planned third issue failed to be published. In revisiting the historical circumstances of the generation of Orpheu, this special issue of Pessoa Plural is largely driven by a historiographical aim: to reconstruct the socio-cultural context of the earliest modernist manifestations in Portugal and to sketch a kind of 'sociography' of Orpheu, its milieu and its time, which includes the larger international context of the outbreak of WWI and contemporary phenomena in the cultural field in Portugal and abroad.
A primavera e o verão de 1915 assistiram ao surgimento, em Lisboa, de dois números da revista modernista Orpheu. Inicialmente pensada como publicação trimestral, a revista teve vida curta e, principalmente por pressões financeiras, não chegou a ver impresso o seu terceiro número, que já estava planejado. Ao revisitar as circunstâncias históricas da geração de Orpheu, este número especial de Pessoa Plural é grandemente motivado por um fim historiográfico: reconstruir o contexto sócio-cultural das primeiras manifestações modernistas em Portugal e esboçar uma espécie de 'sociografia' de Orpheu, seu meio e seu tempo, o que inclui o contexto internacional mais amplo da eclosão da I Guerra Mundial e os fenômenos culturais contemporâneos dentro e fora de Portugal.
