RESUMO

This study presents the critical thinking insights of Eugênio Gomes (1897-1972), with focus and ramifications of that thought in their aesthetic and comparative studies of literary works of traditional and modernity writers. Using a historical-sociological approach, trying to link the adoption of some methodological criteria of this intellectual related to his controversial positions considered by contemporary (coeval) colleagues, from the 1940s, facing the Brazilian society perspectives. Data relating to Eugênio Gomes participation in discussions on literary art in the 1920s and to approximations or divergencies around the traditionalist dynamic peculiarities, established in Bahia, with the forms of the modernist movement in other states situated in Brazilian Northeastern and Southeastern regions, were included in this study. With this comparison, we tried to verify the possibility of a "modernism of order", as well as the peculiar historical conditions of some localities which encouraged the development of a movement in that approach. Thus, based on documents found in archives, in studies of Brazilian literary criticism, and in theoretical and artistic works, it was tried to analyze both strands elected by Eugênio Gomes, in his literary exercise, as their positions in his public activities that could elucidate some of his mediation in dealing with national and foreign literature works
