Abstract

The essay “The Resurrection of the Word”, hereby presented in its first translation to Portuguese, was published in 1914 by Viktor Shklovsky. In this text, the author discusses the process of “petrification” – which culminates in the death – of words. This phenomenon can be observed in the everyday use of epithets, but it also affects literary works as a whole, leading words to be merely recognized, and not effectively seen, felt, in its internal or external form. Futurist poetry appears as the experiment that can actually lead to renovation in verbal art, and therefore, enable the resurrection of the word.
