Under the appealing to spectrology, this piece of work presents a re-reading of the origins of writer Paulo Leminski, in a dialogue and confrontation with the introductions that Caetano Veloso and Haroldo de Campos made in 1983 for the first compiled edition of his poems, Caprichos & Relaxos. This "first" presentation of Leminski's writings turns down another origin, which was the publishing of his novel Catatau in 1975. So, reading those introductions, which dim from the previous edition of a novel, and restoring this novel piece in the genealogy of Leminski' s works, we bring forth not only a shaded "another" origin, but "another" writer and a whole "different" literary project, inscribing Leminski in an awkward new place into the Brazilian literary field. Finally, we tried in this piece of work to outline the paradoxical situation he assumed within this field, varying between his difficult link to the avant-garde and his need of transcending it.---Original in Spanish.
