Resumo: The author proposes the unification of the Narcissus myth and the Melancholy theory as terms of the ethopoietic trope in the poetry of Romantic and Baudelairian Modernity. Myth and theory of Antiquity, featuring the transparency of water and the density of the earth, its alienating synthesis will be incarnated by the romantic and modern Man, in the “sad mirror” of his theological and aesthetic orphanhood, which translates a rupture with the order of ideal Good and Beautiful. Starting by representing the return of Narcissus as a symbol of the egotist subjectivity thus rescued, Romanticism, in its evolution during the 19th and 20th centuries, will end up meeting the melancholy figure of Saturn, who becomes the idiosyncratic myth of aesthetic Modernity.

Mito e teoria da Antiguidade, figurando a transparência da água e a densidade da terra, a sua síntese alienante será incarnada pelo Homem romântico e moderno, no “espelho triste” da sua orfandade teológica e estética, que traduz uma ruptura com a ordem do Bem e do Belo ideais. Começando por representar o regresso de Narciso enquanto símbolo da subjectividade egotista assim resgatada, o Roman- tismo, na sua evolução durante os séculos XIX e XX, acabará por se encontrar com a figura melancólica de Saturno, que se transforma no mito idiossincrático da Modernidade estética.UA Editora - Universidade de Aveiro2021-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/fb.v0i17.27112https://doi.org/10.34624/fb.v0i17.27112Forma Breve; No 17 (2021): Olhares de Narciso: egotismo e alienação; 155-163Forma Breve; n.º 17 (2021): Olhares de Narciso: egotismo e alienação; 155-1632183-47091645-927Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/formabreve/article/view/27112https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/formabreve/article/view/27112/19687Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Luís Adriano Carloshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarlos, Luís Adriano2023-11-23T18:47:17Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/27112Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:03:20.969368Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
