“FROM THE MATTER BY WHICH DREAMS ARE MADE”: THE STUDY OF ONEIRIC NARRATIVE IN THE FRAGMENTARY PROSE OF THE LIVRO DO DESASSOSSEGO, BY BERNARDO SOARES / FERNANDO PESSOA
Livro do Desassossego; Bernardo Soares; Fragmentariness; Fragment; Dream
This work intends to point out the oneiric outlines of the Livro do Desassossego prose, as well as the assumptions underlying fragmentary expression in the pessoana composition, thus establishing a new interpretative and theoretical bias. From the reflection on the fragment’s concept, one may see a possible textual conception based on the understanding of the narratives with a dreamlike nature, transposed to the context of poetic prose, in its close relation with the fragmentariness that characterizes and ensures the survival work. Therefore, it seeks to promote a dialogue between fragments and passages allusive to the dream and the state of expressed drowsiness by Bernardo Soares in his writing movements.
