- Abstract
(lang="eng")
- At the crossroads of Cape-Verdean and Portuguese literary histories, this article examines João Manuel Varela’s ambivalent reception of Fernando Pessoa. Close readings reveal an initial phase of admiration for Pessoa as a revolutionary, followed by decades of strategic silence while Varela forged explicitly anti-colonial poetic identities. From the 1980s onward, however, Pessoa resurfaces, exposing the unresolved tension between African cultural self-definition and inherited Western models. By tracing this three-stage trajectory, the study repositions Pessoa as a latent but influential presence in African literary modernity and nuances prevailing binaries of colonial versus local inspiration.
- Abstract
(lang="por")
- Na encruzilhada das histórias literárias cabo-verdiana e portuguesa, este artigo examina a recepção ambivalente de Fernando Pessoa na obra de João Manuel Varela. Leituras próximas revelam um primeiro momento de admiração por Pessoa como revolucionário, seguido de décadas de silêncio estratégico, durante as quais Varela forjou identidades poéticas explicitamente anticoloniais. A partir da década de 1980, porém, Pessoa reaparece, evidenciando a tensão não resolvida entre a autodefinição cultural africana e os modelos ocidentais herdados. Ao acompanhar esta trajetória em três etapas, o estudo recoloca Pessoa como presença latente, mas influente, na modernidade literária africana e matiza os binarismos correntes entre inspiração colonial e local.
