Literary historiography, Brazilian literatura, Antonio Candido, Brazilian ModernismAbstract
The thought of Antonio Candido is permeated by an heterogeneous totality that builts a history of a peripheral literature´s efforts to create its system and tradition. This literature is defined by its identity but also by its difference, inside the archives of “civilization”. The History of Brazilian Literature stands from western centered and local traditions. Besides pointing Candido’s modern humanistic aspect based on those concepts, we also highlight his mesticista Americanism (or his Brazilianism), embraced by most of 20th century Latin American intellectuals. His Hegelian and Marxist inspiration supports him and reiterates his belief in the transitoriness of any unity´s coherence. This creates an “unstable balance” for this epistemological system, as well as the disruption and non-conformism that mobilize this Brazilian author in his distrust of the naturalizing doxa, whatever the kind of doxa.
