Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the Literatura magazine, that circulated in Rio de Janeiro from September 1946 to October 1948. Directed by Astrojildo Pereira, one of the founders of the Communist Party in Brazil, the publication featured an activist proposal when democratization was under way. In this paper, I seek to identify the objectives and main characteristics of Literatura and point out the differences and nuances that allow to understand the relation between culture and politics through a magazine aimed at studying national and foreign literature but that was not shy of taking open political positions.

Keywords: Literature; intellectual communist; ABDE.
