Abstract: Este ensaio pretende indicar os principais vectores da representação literária de Portugal ao longo dos sécs. XIX e XX, enquanto discurso (singular e colectivo) de memória, de imaginação cultural e de investimento ideológico. Desde o vínculo romântico entre literatura "original" e "espírito da nacionalidade" até ao contraste actual entre desconstrução pós-moderna e continuidade mitográfica, passando por alternâncias de distanciamento critico e de centralidade eufórica, as representações literárias de Portugal conjugam ou contrapõem o culto da Pátria transcendental e a troça aos portugueses, a exaltação histórica e a sátira do presente, o encanto com o corpo (telúrico, marinho) da mátria e o desdém pelas suas gentes, o ataque às elites sociais e o apreço pelo "povo".
This essay aims at pointing out the main vectors of the literary representation of Portugal during the 19th and 20th centuries, as a (either singular or collective) discourse of memory, of cultural imagination and of ideological claims. From the romantic bond between "original" literature and the "spirit of nationality" to the current contrast between post-modern deconstruction and mythographic continuity, including alternate periods of critical distancing and euphoric centrality, the literary representations of Portugal both combine and set against each other such aspects as the cult of the transcendental Fatherland and the mockery of the Portuguese people, the historic exaltation and the satire of the present, a fascination with the body (be it telluric or marine) of the motherland and the scorn of its inhabitants, the attack on the social elites and the appreciation for the "people".
