Abstract

This article aims to analyze the second phase of the poetry of Alvaro de Campos, Fernando Pessoa heteronomous, with a particular focus on the study of the Ode Triunfal, a poem in which the artist glorifies, in an euphoric tone, technological and scientific discoveries of the modern world. In this process, Campos argues in favor of one fragmented personality, able to represent the prismatic character of the huge flow of sensations of the machine age, standing as a sort of spokesman for the depersonalization process undertaken by Pessoa. Given this fact, such production should be examined focusing one of the most important intertexts with which it dialogues: F. T. Marinetti’s futuristic theses. Thus this paper will try to point similarities and differences between this Pessoa’s text and the vanguard guidelines outlined by the Italian theorist in his combative pamphlets.
