In the different media supports in which they developed their intellectual activities, the Condé brothers were recognized asmen of letters by his peers and the reading community of the time. João, José and Elysio acted as editors of columns and sections of the Jornal de Letras (JL). In addition to his work at JL, which we will discuss in depth throughout this thesis, João was a book editor and stood out as a literary journalist with his Arquivos Implacáveis; José was a novelist, literary critic, and columnist and Elysio, although a physician, stood out above all as a press entrepreneur – his work made the periodical s long life possible. As scholars, they took on different functions in the literary world, in the publishing market of the period and in the dissemination of cultural goods. Functions they performed as mediators between the literate world of the authors and the readership, disseminating literary and cultural knowledge in general, and in the case of JL through the press. Therefore, this work aimed to highlight the interlocution and the significant intellectual network that the Condé brothers developed from their activities and their common projects. In this sense, the press occupies a unique place in this thesis, as an object analyzed in its historicity. Through it, the Condé brothers left traces of their actions, essential for understanding the Histories of the Brazilian Press and Literature of the second half of the 20th century. The symbiosis with the agents in question, producers of this printed world, reserves a place for the press in the production and alteration of meaning, as well as in the transformation of that society.
