Abstract(s)
Esta investigação pretende estudar o declínio da ideia de Portugal-império, pela
revisitação temática dos efeitos trágicos da Descolonização, tendo como mote quatro obras
de Lobo Antunes: Os Cus de Judas, As Naus, O Esplendor de Portugal e Comissão das
Lágrimas, cuja escrita se erige, no contexto da literatura pós-moderna e nos propõe uma
visão desassombrada e desmistificadora da História de Portugal. Da sua escrita transparece
um território tenso entre a História e a literatura, tendo em conta o caráter pernicioso da
sonegação de factos levada a cabo pelos historiadores oficiais, no que a esta época diz
respeito. O autor alicerça a sua crítica em processos de cómico, expondo, num tom
exacerbado, impiedoso, inconveniente, grotesco e feroz, críticas iconoclastas à política de
Salazar e aos seus aliados (da Igreja Católica, v.g.), dessacralizando o poder político e
eclesiástico, e ironizando com a narração falaciosa da História. Esta aliança perniciosa entre
Trono e Altar, hasteada na tríade de valores Deus, Pátria e Família, é, assumidamente,
censurada nas quatro obras, delatando a decadência da elite colonial e os efeitos
devastadores da Descolonização.
Destarte, a escrita-reação lobo antuniana critica, acerbadamente, o regime salazarista
que forçou milhares de soldados a lutar por um falso ideal patriótico e transforma-se na voz
dos silenciados. De cariz confessional e testemunhal, tendo em conta que o próprio escritor
foi coagido, no cumprimento do serviço militar obrigatório, a deslocar-se para a guerra, os
romances analisados expõem o conflito de identidade do homem contemporâneo,
ensombrado pelo mítico passado glorioso e enfatizam o processo de dilaceração individual e
coletivo de todos os intervenientes na Guerra Colonial. Portanto, para além do resgate das
memórias traumáticas, a ficção confere-lhes a possibilidade de exorcizar e expurgar a
violenta experiência psicológica a que foram expostos.
This research intends to study the decline the idea of Portugal-empire, by revisiting the thematic of the tragic effects of Decolonization, having as background four books of Lobo Antunes: Os Cus de Judas, As Naus, O Esplendor de Portugal and Comissão das Lágrimas, whose writing is based on the context of postmodern literature and proposes us an unclouded and demystifying view of the History of Portugal. From his writing, a tense territory between history and literature transpires, bearing in mind the pernicious character of the fact-shunning carried out by the official historians, to this period. The author bases his criticism in different comic processes, exposing, in an exacerbated tone, unfeeling, inconvenient, grotesque and ferocious, iconoclastic criticism of the politics of Salazar and his allies (of the Catholic Church e.g.,) desacralizing political and ecclesiastical and be ironically with the fallacious perspective narrated by the History. This pernicious alliance between Throne and Altar, raised in the triad of values God, Motherland and Family, is, undoubtedly, criticized in the four books, revealing the decadence of the colonial elite and the devastating effects of Decolonization. Thus, the writing-reaction of Lobo Antunes criticizes acerbically, the salazarist regime that forced thousands of soldiers to fight for a fictitious patriotic ideal, and becomes the voice of the silenced. As a confessional and a witness writing, because the writer himself was coerced into obligatory military service to go to war, the novels analysed expose the identity conflict of contemporary man, overshadowed by the mythical glorious past and emphasize the process of individual and collective dilacerations of all those involved in the Colonial War. Therefore, in addition to revive their traumatic memories, fiction gives them the possibility of exorcising and expelling the violent psychological experience to which they were exposed.
