Abstract

Two major aspects of Jose Lins do Rego’s chronicles were the reference to soccer and the establishment of a dialogue (or discussion) with his intellectual circle. The influence of Gilberto Freyre and Mário Filho were the most prominent ones, but Rego had many other dialogic counterparts. Thus, this paper aims to understand José Lins do Rego’s stand in his sports chronicles at the same time it sheds light on the exchange of ideas within the Brazilian intelligentsia. Ultimately, we conclude that José Lins’ chronicles, full of rationality and passion, have played multiple roles when related to the Brazilian intellectual production.
