The aim of this chapter is to provide a survey of the concept of Iberian imperialism and Iberian imperialist mythography through the examination of texts by Joan Maragall, Eugeni d’Ors and Fernando Pessoa. The Iberian imperialism is a theoretical and historiographical place that we can understand as part of the external history of the phenomenon or ideality, but also as the form and content of a constant working in the immaterial culture of different countries, of cultures with linguistic expression at the same time close and differentiated.

Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) has become many things to many people in the years that have passed since his untimely death. For some he is simply the greatest Portuguese poet of the twentieth century. For others he has gradually emerged as a forgotten voice in twentieth-century modernism. And yet Pessoa was also a philosopher, and it is only very recently that the philosophical importance of his work has begun to attract the attention it deserves. Pessoa composed systematic philosophical essays in his pre-heteronymic period, defending rationalism in epistemology and sensationism in the philosophy of mind. His heteronymic work, decisively breaking with the conventional strictures of systematic philosophical writing, is a profound and exquisite exploration in the philosophy of self. Virtual Subjects, Fugitive Selves draws together the strands of this philosophy and rearticulates it in a way that does justice to Pessoa’s breathtaking originality. In applying the new theory to the analysis of some of the trickiest and most puzzling problems about the self to have appeared in the global history of philosophy, in thinkers from the Buddhist, Chinese, Indian and Persian worlds, Virtual Subjects, Fugitive Selves is exemplary of a newly emerging trend in philosophy, that of philosophy as a cosmopolitan endeavour.

This paper applies theory concepts by G. Voissset and Massimo Cacciari, but also the contribution of poets like Horatio, Fernando Pessoa and Édouard Glissant. It is an analysis of the tragedy Les portugais infortunez, by Nicolas-Chrétien Des Croix, edited in Rouen (1608). The shipwreck of Manuel de Sousa Sepulveda with his wife and children but also 600 people in Galion S. João in 1552, in South Africa (Terra do Natal), account edited in 1554 and compiled by Bernardo Gomes de Brito (Tragic history of the sea, T.I., 1735) which source is Historiarum indicarum(B. XVI) by father G. Maffei (Florence, 1588) is the theme of this tragic play. After six months of pilgrimage in Africa (300 leagues) the Portuguese are welcome in Inhaca island by a good king. But their imprudence pushes them to Manhiça, another island where they are disarmed and denuded till their death by exhaustion and hunger the majority of them. Finally, they leave the Elephant island to arrive to Mozambique island. From the image of island refuge (Inhaca, Elephant, Mozambique) it succeeds the xenophobia, suspicion and expiatory sacrifice. The image of archipelago is ambiguous: the wrecked persons are ambitious but also annunciators of the Gospel.

O espólio de Fernando Pessoa alberga inúmeros papéis que não chegaram a ser integrados em livros, mas que na maioria dos casos foram concebidos com esse propósito. É o que acontece no caso do Livro do Desassossego, onde uma aparente desordem dos materiais legados contrasta com uma persistente ideia estruturante de livro. Para além dos textos concebidos explicitamente como parte integrante do mesmo, numerosas listas editoriais testemunham a presença de uma ideia de edição constantemente modificada e adiada. Estas listas, entre as quais importa distinguir listas de projetos editoriais e planos de estruturação do livro, não só possuem um propósito prático, como lhe conferem um sentido e uma posição no conjunto da obra. Através da análise deste corpus procurar-se-á traçar a história deste planeamento e mostrar o modo como a conceção do Livro dele depende.AbstractFernando Pessoa’s Archive houses innumerous papers that were never integrated in books, but were in most cases conceived with this purpose. This is also the case of the Book of Disquiet, where an apparent disorder of the materials left by the poet contrasts with a persistent structuring idea of book. Beyond the texts explicitly conceived as part of the book, several editorial lists show the presence of an idea of edition constantly changed and delayed. These lists, among which one should distinguish between lists of editorial projects and structuring plans of the book, not only follow a practical purpose, but also give a meaning and a position to it within the work as a whole. The analysis of this corpus allows for the charting of the history of this planning, showing how the conception of the Book depends on it. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14195/2182-8830_1-1_2
