Resumo: In this article, after some considerations pertaining to the transitional and atopic nature of the essay as genre, we discuss the recurrent instances of intergeneric confluence of the short story and the essay, by specifically focusing on those occasions when the philosophical and interrogative impulse commonly seen as the proprium of the essay finds its way into the short story. In reality, despite the conspicuous rhetorical and conceptual differences separating both genres, the short story and the essay share a historical and genetic kinship, as well as some compositional features, as the three short fictions selected in this article – by Portuguese writers Fernando Pessoa, Jorge de Sena and Gonçalo M. Tavares – will make evident. We will argue that in these short fictions, where the narrative fable is interspersed with abstract or speculative digressions, the essayistic tone seems inseparable from a self-reflexive intention, thereby converting the essay as short story in an essay on the short story.

Com efeito, apesar do muito que, nos planos retórico e conceptual, parece separá-los, conto e ensaio partilham entre si afinidades histórico-genéticas e traços processuais que as três narrativas breves selecionadas para análi­se – de Fernando Pessoa, Jorge de Sena e Gonçalo M. Tavares – não deixam de evidenciar. Nesse sentido, argumenta-se que, nestas ficções breves, em que a efabulação se compagina com a deriva abstrata ou especulativa, a retórica ensaística reveste insistente to­nalidade autorrefleviva, convertendo o conto-ensaio num ensaio sobre o conto.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2018-08-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartigo de literaturaartigos de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/3243310.12957/matraga.2018.32433Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJ; v. 25 n. 43 (2018): Miscelânea; 105-120MATRAGA - Journal published by the Graduate Program in Letters at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); Vol. 25 No. 43 (2018): Miscelaneous; 105-1202446-69051414-7165reponame:Matraga (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/32433/25907Copyright (c) 2018 Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Paulo Alexandre2021-06-28T15:55:58Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/32433Revistahttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matragaPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matraga/oai||letrasmatraga@uerj.br2446-69051414-7165opendoar:2021-06-28T15:55:58Matraga (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)false
