The work portrays the friendship between five men who meet to talk about several topics, especially love. This configuration of the novel?s scene recalls the classic work of Plato, The Banquet, the first and greatest treatise about the love?s nature. It is intended to show how the literary representations of the work in question are in line with the present concepts in the so called liquid modernity. For this analysis, was taken a theoretical approach of the modern society trends from the Zigmunt Bauman?s theory, as well as a historical path about conceptions of love (May and Branden), friendship (Aristotle and Cicero) and masculinity (Courtine, Corbin, Vigarello, Oliveira and Nolasco) in the sense to better understand the transformations that are felt in current times (Paz, Zeldin, Giddens). Necessary to draw attention to the polyphony of announcer voices of the novel and this relates the fact that modernity is a stage where live side by side disparate conceptions. / Neste trabalho faz-se uma leitura das representa??es do amor e da amizade no romance Os ?ntimos, da escritora portuguesa contempor?nea In?s Pedrosa. A obra retrata a amizade entre cinco homens que se re?nem para falar sobre temas diversos, principalmente o amor. Essa configura??o da cena do romance faz recordar a cl?ssica obra do fil?sofo Plat?o, O Banquete, primeiro e maior tratado sobre a natureza do amor. Pretende-se evidenciar como as representa??es liter?rias da obra em quest?o est?o em conson?ncia com as concep??es presentes na chamada modernidade l?quida. Para esta an?lise, realiza-se uma abordagem te?rica das tend?ncias da sociedade moderna a partir da teoria de Zigmunt Bauman, bem como um percurso hist?rico das concep??es de amor, (May e Branden), amizade (Arist?teles e C?cero) e masculinidade (Courtine, Corbin, Vigarello, Oliveira e Nolasco) no sentido de melhor compreender as transforma??es que se fazem sentir nos tempos atuais (Paz, Zeldin, Giddens). Chama-se aten??o para a polifonia das vozes enunciadoras do romance e a isso se relaciona o fato de ser a modernidade um palco onde convivem lado a lado concep??es d?spares.
