Investigação dos movimentos de vanguarda em Portugal e suas relações com as vanguardas europeias

Abstract

Aiming to analyze the relationships and influences through the development of artistic and literary avant-gardes after 1915, with an emphasis on the theoretical and critical contributions of authors such as Fernando J. B. Matinho, Fernando Guimarães, José Carlos Pereira Seabra, and Fernando Cabral Martins, this study assumes that changes and innovations in avant-garde literature in Portugal reflect a profound transformation in both society and the arts. This transformation reveals a desire to break with the past and engage in aesthetic experimentation. These avant-garde movements were influenced by social, political, and technological changes that affected Europe and the world during this period. Thus, the aesthetic and formal innovations of avant-garde literature in Portugal, by breaking with tradition and exploring new forms of expression, served as a mirror for the political, social, and cultural transformations of the time, reflecting the complexity and dynamism of a period marked by significant changes in society and art. Through a critical and contextual approach, this study seeks to briefly understand the works and ideologies of these respective authors. Additionally, the article provides an integrated view of the avant-garde movement, highlighting its innovative role in the literary and artistic landscape of the 20th century. Therefore, throughout the article, indispensable information is considered to enable a theoretically grounded understanding of the topic, ranging from innovative movements to conceptual reflections within the framework of the literary system.
