Abstract:Análise de Teresina etc., como exemplar de retratos escritos por Antonio Candido, que transcendem o particular e acabam fazendo o retrato de uma época, afirmando ideais éticos, políticos e estéticos e configurando, discretamente, não sem certo distanciamento irônico, um interessante auto-retrato. Memória e história, realidade e ficção, razão e sensibilidade, crítica e compreensão são elementos que se tecem com arte, num texto muito atual, pelo tema e pela metodologia. Teresina etc. as an example of the writ… Show more
“…This historian brings to light the criticism of the "patriarchal" and agrarian foundations of Brazilian society. While Freyre denounced the prejudice of race, the valorization of the element of color, despite his identification of psychological predispositions of races in the different ethnic groups he analyzes, Sérgio Buarque presupposes the liquidation of the roots of our past, the adoption of the urban rhythm of life (CANDIDO, 2007).…”

This chapter presents an expository picture of some of the main essays that carried out the work of interpreting modern Brazil. To expose the ideologies rooted in this genre used by Brazilian intellectuals in the twentieth century, the text points to the different Brazils imagined by scholars such as Gilberto Freyre, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, Caio Prado Junior, Antonio Candido, Raymundo Faoro, Dante Moreira Leite, Celso Furtado and Carlos Guilherme Mota, who dedicated to the discussion and critical reflection on the formation of the Brazilian people concerned with the construction of their identity in Brazil as a Portugal’s colony, during the empire and as a republic in the process of social and capitalista development. Along the way, cultural, political, and economic ideologies were shaped, which masked some of our fundamental contradictions.

“…Teresina etc. (CANDIDO, 1980b), de 1980, trazia a versão expandida do estudo sobre Teresina Carini Rocchi, junto a uma recolha de sete textos sobre assuntos culturais e políticos, quase todos dos anos 1970. A educação pela noite (CANDIDO, 1987), de 1987, agrupava, em três blocos de afinidade temática, doze ensaios escritos entre o fim dos anos 1960 e o começo dos anos 1980.…”
In this paper I comment on topics related to O discurso e a cidade [Discourse and the city], by Antonio Candido, intending to point out connections among the conception of the book, the author’s critical project and his political vision. I discuss topics concerning the representation of social reality and its transfiguration in literary works, as well as Candido’s understanding of Socialism and utopia.
“…Gerado na classe média e em setores esclarecidos das classes dominantes, ele [o radicalismo] não é um pensamento revolucionário, e, embora seja fermento transformador, não se identifica senão em parte com os interesses específicos das classes trabalhadoras. (CANDIDO, 1990, p. 4) O limiar em que geralmente se situa o radical aponta quase sempre para a contradição: por vezes, a conjuntura o faz um radical de ocasião(CANDIDO, 1980), mesmo que no fundo ele seja francamente conservador. No Brasil, o radicalismo costuma florescer também entre as elites oligárquicas: "nos interstícios do pensamento e da ação dos conservadores ligados às oligarquias, ou exprimindo seus interesses, às vezes brotam traços inesperados de radicalidade, que podem inclusive motivar formulações e medidas progressistas"(CANDIDO, 1990, p. 6).O radicalismo brasileiro nasce, pois, no bojo de um país forjado pelas elites, inclusive (ou sobretudo) no que diz respeito à cultura, espécie de instrumento ambíguo de sedimentação das assimetrias sociais típicas da colônia.…”
From the beginning of his career as a literary critic, in the early 1940s, Antonio Candido gave centrality to modernist production, a field in which he developed fundamental elements of his intellectual thinking. In this article, we will reconstitute the main lines of Antonio Candido’s criticism of the so-called romance of the 1930s [Brazilian novels of the 1930]. As this is a favorite subject of the author’s, disseminated in numerous texts covering at least forty years of intellectual activity we will analyze three concepts formulated at different times: the pre-consciousness of underdevelopment, localist de-repression, and the routinization of modernist aesthetics. By approximating these concepts, without necessarily subjecting them to chronological rigidity, in order to avoid evolutionist schematism, we intend to highlight the points of convergence and interest that remained throughout his work. With this, we will argue that the critic seeks to highlight a new stage in Brazilian life inaugurated by the Revolution of the 1930s and characterized, among other things, by the feeling of displacement of the intellectual class in the face of the modernization that was being announced at the time and by the conception of an aesthetic radicalism present above all in the form of the novel.
