- Abstract
(lang="por")
- Este artigo propõe uma releitura crítica dos mitos imperiais portugueses em Fernando Pessoa, centrando-se nas figuras de Ulisses e do Quinto Império em Mensagem. A partir de uma perspectiva pós-colonial e da crítica benjaminiana do historicismo, defende-se que Pessoa não reproduz de forma linear o imaginário épico português, mas o reinscreve numa lógica moderna, fragmentária e crítica, onde mito, memória e ruína coexistem. Em diálogo com Luís de Camões, Dante Alighieri e António Vieira, o poeta reconfigura Ulisses como figura de errância e transmutação cultural, deslocando a ideia de império da esfera territorial para a simbólica e linguística. O artigo analisa ainda as tensões entre expansão e enraizamento e propõe uma leitura da modernidade portuguesa marcada pela uma coexistência de temporalidades e vozes silenciadas pelas narrativas nacionalistas.

(lang="eng")
- This article proposes a critical rereading of Portuguese imperial myths in Fernando Pessoa, focusing on the figures of Ulysses and of the Fifth Empire in Mensagem. Drawing on a postcolonial perspective and the Benjaminian critique of historicism, it argues that Pessoa does not linearly reproduce the Portuguese epic imagination, but rather reinscribes it within a modern, fragmentary, and critical logic in which myth, memory, and ruin coexist. In dialogue with Luís de Camões, Dante Alighieri, and António Vieira, Pessoa reconfigures Ulysses as a figure of wandering and cultural transmutation, shifting the idea of empire from the territorial sphere to the symbolic and linguistic one. The article also examines the tensions between expansion and rootedness and proposes a reading of Portuguese modernity marked by the coexistence of temporalities and voices silenced by nationalist narratives.
