Resumo (PT): Perspectiva comparativista sobre a temática ideológica do absurdo, num estudo em torno das possibilidades de encontro e desencontro entre a escrita de Beckett e a pintura de Dalí.

Abstract (EN): It is not always in a straightforward or self-evident way that two artistic personalities like Samuel Beckett, in literature, and Salvador Dali, in the plastic arts, are put together for a comparison. There are certainly traits in common in both artists’ achievements, mainly those related to important ideological issues supporting their views on the aesthetic quality of their representations, but there are also profound differences setting them apart.
