Hegemony, intellectuals in Brazil, Ribeiro Couto, Manuel Bandeira, Vargas yearsAbstract
In the official newspaper of the Estado Novo, a dictatorship led by Getúlio Vargas in Brazil from 1937 to 1945, a group of intellectuals organized a cultural section, «Pensamento da América», devoted to publishing translations of writers from across the Americas. Drawing on archival research, this article reconstructs the trajectory of this cultural section, from muted anti-fascism and Latin Americanism, in 1941, to playing a supporting role for Vargas’s wartime foreign policy, from 1942 on. It is concerned, above all, with exploring the contexts that both opened the way and set the limits for the activities of the intellectuals responsible for «Pensamento da América».
