Resumo
Este artigo é uma breve tentativa de se pensar algumas das muitas ideias e representações construídas no passado sobre o universo do livro. A pesquisa que o originou partiu exclusivamente do exame das correspondências recebidas e acumuladas pelo extinto Centro Cultural Euclides da Cunha, uma agremiação de intelectuais que funcionou de 1948 a 1985 na cidade de Ponta Grossa, no Paraná. Em termos estruturais, o estudo aqui conduzido busca comentar inicialmente alguns aspectos pontuais da referida instituição, procurando enfatizar em seguida o enorme entusiasmo que ali gravitava em torno das lides literárias. Para finalizar, são então examinados os traços maiores do inusitado sistema de representações em que tal entusiasmo se apoiava, tentando integrar seus elementos num sentido um pouco mais amplo. Em linhas gerais, o objetivo do artigo é delinear e compreender algumas das possíveis relações que, na metade do século passado, ainda se estabeleceriam entre cultura, livro e intelectualidade.
This article is a brief attempt to think about the many ideas and representations built in the past about the book universe. The research which originated it was exclusively done by examining the mail received and kept by the former Centro Cultural Euclides da Cunha, in Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. In structural terms, this study seeks to comment, initially, some punctual aspects of the referred institution, emphasizing, in sequence, the enormous enthusiasm which gravitated around the literary battle. To conclude, the larger traces of the unusual representation system on which such enthusiasm was based are, then, examined, trying to integrate the elements in a little broader sense. In general terms, the aim of the article is to outline and understand some of the possible relations which, in the middle of the last century, would be still established between culture, books and intelligentsia.
