RESUMO

Analysis of the novel Nome de Guerra, by Almada Negreiros, by beginning by the following investigation: how to be modern in Portugal ?. This question is expanded with the critical reading of the writer`s vanguard attitude and with the analysis of the recovery of the novel`s pedagogical function, proposed by Almada Negreiros in the beginning of the twentieth century. This dissertation is divided into three chapters. The first one talks about the poet`s trajectory from Orpheu until Nome de Guerra, in a search for possible particularities of the almadian narrator. The second chapter focuses on the analysis of the novel of formation proposed by Almada and the questioning about what is to feel as a Portuguese in the modern world. The third and last chapter discusses the almadian narrator and the poetical delirium that the vanguard language imposes. This dissertation concentrates on the theme of individualism as a way to ratify the position of the modern man in the beginning of the twentieth century. We tried to provide support to the idea of a contemporary man and of his experiences in the world, in a single direction as it seems to have been done by the poet throughout his work. The research also focus the lost naiveté, proposed by the poet in order to mark the specificities of the modern subject in harmony with the new world announced by Orpheu`s Generation.
