Summary: | <span lang="EN-US">The current paper offers a reading of the initial <em>Saramago’s Diaries</em>, written by the Portuguese José Saramago and published between the years of 1993 and 1997, as it rehearses drafting a possible relation between the role of the intellectual, as performed by the writer and the composition of an autobiographical literature. This latter is constituted by means of a unique acquisition and learning of memory, from his exile in the Spanish island of Lanzarote. Edward Said´s writings will guide the discussions on exile proposed in this work, as much as Philippe Lejeune´s, whose writings appear in the dialogue between autobiography and memory.</span>
