Abstract

Modernity is marked by a series of socio-political developments that culminated in a new way for artists to understand the world. Moved by systems of representations of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the world was changed by the shift in paradigm. Therefore, this work aimed to analyze the emergence of Lisbon under the gaze of Alvaro de Campos. To that end, Benjamin's thought is central to this discussion. From the analysis of the transition undergone by European society, particularly the city of Paris. Benjamin reflects the modern spirit impacted by the contingency and fluidity of the new era, shaped by other forms of socialization. Alvaro de Campos, by exposing the physiology of the city, discloses the impressions of the man marked by the mobility of extended and diffuse new world, triggering a fragmented view of the city that expands.
