Baltasar Lopes, Osvaldo Alcântara and Pasárgada

Abstract

In this article, the driving role of the Cape Verdian author Baltasar Lopes in the reactivation of the periodical Claridade in October 1947 is considered. Through a comparative study based on hermeneutical considerations of the historical horizon in which this process took place, a study is undertaken of the political and existential relations that determined its publication.This publication took place around six years after the conclusion of the novel Chiquinho. In this way, in privileging the publication hiatus and the relationship between the authors with whom he dialogued, the study intends to interpret the manner in which it is possible through continuity to identify aesthetic ruptures that are fundamental in understanding his literary output.
