Resumo: This paper aims to conduct a thematic and comparative analysis after the concepts of landscape, space, place and memory in six texts by Vitorino Nemésio and Cecília Meireles in which the Atlantic islands of the Azores archipelago are represented. In these texts, the landscape is a manifestation of the authors’ontological topography, resulting in a subjective construction process that re-signifies the places of the islands. In common, these texts have the themes of the islanders’ life simplicity, isolation and poverty. If these traits bring them close, others separate them. In Nemésio, the islands are transfigured into a tourist landscape and migration space, reflecting the substance and the constraints of Azoreanness. In contrast, in Cecília, the island is a place in the frontier of the real and the imaginary, constructed by the poet's fantasy, emotional geography and childhood memories. In Nemésio, the texts manifest images of individual and collective memory, whereas, in Cecília, the work of memory facilitates an escape from reality and a journey to the realisation of the lost paradise myth: the Island of Nanja.

Nestes textos, a paisagem se revela como manifestação da topografia ontológica de cada autor e resulta num processo subjetivo de construção e ressignificação dos lugares das ilhas. Em comum, os textos destes autores partilham os temas da simplicidade da vida dos ilhéus, do isolamento e da pobreza. Se estes traços os aproximam, outros há que os afastam. Se em Nemésio, as ilhas são transfiguradas em paisagem turística e espaço de emigração, espelhando a substância e os constrangimentos da açorianiedade, em Cecília, a ilha surge como um lugar na fronteira entre o real e o imaginário, construído pela fantasia da poeta, a partir da sua geografia emocional e das memórias de infância. Se em Nemésio, os textos manifestam imagens-reservatórios de memória individual e coletiva, em Cecília, o trabalho da memória facilita uma fuga ao real e uma viagem a uma realização do mito do paraíso perdido: a Ilha do Nanja.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2023-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/6317410.4025/actascilangcult.v45i1.63174Acta Scientiarum.
