RESUMO

This study is aimed to review the First Brazilian Congress of Writers, held in Sao Paulo, between 22 and 27 January 1945 at the initiative of the Brazilian Association of Writers (ABDE). Enshrined in the historiography as a movement of the intellectual community to promote democracy in opened opposition to the Estado Novo of Getúlio Vargas, this event will be studied from a broader perspective, encompassing not only issues of political nature, but also those of economic and professional. For this aspect, the reading of articles published in São Paulo and headed to Congress and the submissions made and approved during the plenary sessions, suggests an expectation around two fundamental aspects: the establishment of a democratic system of government, bringing the end censorship, and regulation of copyright, which would allow the writers a better return by selling their works and, therefore, doing professional as men of letters. From these elements, considered in the light of the ideas of french philosopher and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu - notably his thesis about the concept of autonomy - this work will proceed on the assumption that Congress of writers means, in addition to his political representation, the first large movement of brazilian intellectuals in favor of the autonomy of their field.
