Abstract(s)
Abordando a formação da consciência moderna, este artigo considera a Querela dos Antigos e dos
Modernos a partir de duas noções estéticas fundamentais: a imitatio e a aemulatio.
O modo como progressivamente se faz o elogio da emulação face à simples imitação corresponde
à ultrapassagem do pólo antigo pelo pólo moderno. Enquanto o imitador deseja reproduzir a
exactidão do modelo, o emulador esforça-se por dizer melhor. A emulação, proposta pelos
Modernos, mostra-se sempre relativizadora e perturbada em relação aos antigos, inquieta por se
lhes sobrepor.
Addressing the formation of modern consciousness, this paper considers the Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns from two fundamental aesthetic notions: imitatio and aemulatio. The way in which emulation is progressively praised in detriment of imitation corresponds to the overtake of the ancient pole by the modern pole. While an imitator wants to reproduce the accuracy of the model, the emulator strives to say better. The emulation, proposed by the moderns, shows itself always above and in conflict with the ancients, restless because emulation tends to superimpose on them.
