description The French writer Charles Baudelaire, author of the Les Fleurs du Mal [As fl ores do mal (1857)] is the first greatest modern poet, whose critical and poetic work postulates not only the contradictory concept of modernity but it also makes it. Such concept, largely applied to literary, sociological, political, economic, philosophical, and cultural studies, is related to the thinking of the problematic mode of constitution of the modern world that has been extremely marked since the second half of the 18th century by the impact caused by the capitalist, technical-industrial modernization due to the raising of the bourgeois class, by the predominance of the urban life, the dissolution of the traditional values, the Illuminist ideas, and especially by the advent of the revolutionary romanticism. It is in that period, exacerbated, as it is known, in the 19th century, that Baudelaire’s poetry and thinking should be located. His “Salon de 1846” and “The Painter of Modern Life” defi ne half of the art in modernity as “the transitory, the ephemeral, the contingent, while the other half is seen as the eternal and the immutable”. Coherent with this principle, the work of the French poet is nourished by this essential dichotomy. Considering what was said above, the objective of this paper is to think about the fl owerings of the baudelarian poetry: those which blossomed in the work of 1857, those which are the propulsion and the seeds of the important artistic movements located between the 19th and 20th centuries; those that, surpassing the vanguard, are still blossoming in our time, which is more and more liquefied. Keywords: Charles Baudelaire. Les Fleurs du Mal. Modernity.

Keywords: Charles Baudelaire. Les Fleurs du Mal. Modernity. O francês Charles Baudelaire (1821 – 1867), autor de Les fleurs du mal – As flores do mal (1857), é considerado o primeiro grande poeta moderno; aquele cuja obra poética e crítica postula não apenas o conceito contraditório de “modernidade”, mas efetivamente a realiza. Tal conceito, amplamente aplicado nos estudos literários e sociológicos, políticos e econômicos, fi losófi cos e culturais, procura pensar o modo problemático de constituição do mundo moderno, cada vez mais vincado, desde a segunda metade do século XVIII, pelo impacto da modernização técnico-industrial capitalista, pela ascensão da burguesia, pelo predomínio da vida urbana, pela dissolução de valores tradicionais, pelas idéias do Iluminismo e pelo advento do Romantismo revolucionário, principalmente. É nesta conjuntura – acirrada, como se sabe, no século XIX –, que se deve situar a poesia e o pensamento de Baudelaire, cujos textos célebres “O salão de 1846” e “O pintor da vida moderna” defi nem a modernidade como “o transitório, o efêmero, o contingente; é a metade da arte, sendo a outra metade o eterno e o imutável”. Coerente com o princípio, a obra do poeta francês nutrir-se-á desta dicotomia essencial. A partir das constatações acima, pretende-se refl etir sobre as muitas fl orações da poesia baudelairiana: aquelas desabrochadas no livro de 1857; aquelas que serão motor e semente de importantes movimentos artísticos do entre-séculos XIX-XX; aquelas que, ultrapassando a vanguarda, ainda florescem em nossa própria época, cada vez mais liquefeita.
