Abstract

V originále

A comunicacao pretende refletir sobre o motivo da sombra que, sinalizando vários fenómenos insólitos desde a duplicidade até a assombracao, constitui um dos elementos de peso no imaginário de Branquinho da Fonseca (1905-1974) e Tomaz de Figueiredo (1902-1970). Para além de uma abordagem contextual, serao concretamente analisados os contos homónimos “A Sombra” (1945) de Branquinho da Fonseca e “A Sombra” (1934) de Tomaz de Figueiredo.

In English

The aim of the paper is to analyze the shadow motif which is one of the permanent archetypal images in the fiction of Branquinho da Fonseca (1905-1974) and Tomaz de Figueiredo (1902-1970). In the short-stories of these writers, it is treated not only as a description device, suggesting a specific, mysterious atmosphere, but also as an uncanny motif of the double or haunting. Beside a contextual approach, this paper focuses on two homonymous short-stories “A Sombra” (“A shadow”, 1945) by Branquinho da Fonseca and “A Sombra” (“A shadow”, 1934) by Tomaz de Figueiredo.
