The criticism of the pingente intellectual narrator:

João Antônio evokes Lima Barreto

Abstract

We intend to assess manifestations addressed to’ narrador intelectual pingente’, from literary and journalistic texts of Lima Barreto (1881-1922). The critical echo of such assessment can be seen in the work of the writer and journalist João Antônio (1937-1996), especially in Calvário and Porres do pingente Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto (1977). We intend to articulated such texts by means of description, discussion and critical analysis established as a crucial element to the proposal of this
‘narrador intelectual pingente’, considering the aspects of mediation and values in the dialog between the two authors. For this, we use theoretical references which can provide clues about the reflections on criticisms as an intellectual, communicational, artistic and mediatic phenomena.
