The dissertation aims to show how both of the main heteronymous of Fernando Pessoa : Alberto Caeiro and Álvaro de Campos appropriate the jubilation’s theme throught different profiles.
The berger-curator is the author of an idyllic poem with a natural framework and the naval engineer is the creator of a work inspired by emblematic mecanism of modernity. Despite their distinct profiles, Alberto Caeiro and Álvaro de Campos focus on a search of identity in link with a feeling of existential jubilation.
Both poets created by Fernando Pessoa have worked on common axes : the Child, the Nature and the Dead for Alberto Caeiro. The Child, the Insanity and the Dead for Álvaro de Campos. These topics have revealed an unknown part of Fernando Pessoa’s work. Indeed, the litterary production is generally studied in a pessimist point of view which give importance to the Fernando Pessoa’s spleen. The study demonstrates how both heteronymous express the feeling of jubilation through a semantic field of happiness, ecstasy, or sublime. And it suggests to explore the figures of berger-curator together with the naval engineer from a new perspective. We will examine notions in link with jubilation like pasmo, espanto, ecstasy, happiness, sublime, pleasure, apotheosis, or dynamogeny. To understand jubilation in Alberto Caeiro and Álvaro de Campos‘s works, we will finally refer to Nietzsche, Freud, Lacan, Durkheim, Sartre’s thoughts from a philosophy and psychology perspective, and to Hugo, Baudelaire, Tolstoï, Proust and others from a poetic perspective.
