Controversial, Surveys, João do RioAbstract
Structural feature of the thought of the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, the polemic, both as a literary genre, as a means of propagating ideas, and as a way of self-affirmation, was a constant practice among Brazilian intellectuals. In João do Rio’s survey, O Momento Literário (1909), there were several writers who spoke about the controversies that, fought in the press, were configured as a strategy of legitimation and entry into the literary field. The objective of the article is to recover the interviewees’ testimony in order to identify the controversy as a constitutive expression of the republic of letters in Brazil, as well as the trajectory of polemicists of some scholars who responded to João do Rio’s inquiry.
