Description
Summary:This present work intends to make a reading of the "Maritime Ode" by Fernando Pessoa, signed by Álvaro de Campos, the Sensationalist Engineer. The essence of this heteronomous is looking at the world and man under an dialectical angle, in a place where each thing crosses, complete and vanishes under a look that is a "sexual perversion". In this ode, the look "feels everything in every way", and this implies working the sensations in all its ramifications, stressing at this point eroticism in a masked speech, multiplier of sadomasochistic sensation, in a unsuccessful narrative which escapes the metaphysical anguish and from life "sitting, ruled and revised." The euphoria / dysphoria of Campos of the "Odes" is fictitious, more a mask, "pure mirage."
