Abstract

Founded in Rio de Janeiro, in the 1920s, the periodical O Cruzeiro left its mark in the twentieth century. A publication with modern air and pioneer of the called photojournalism in Brazil, it influenced both the journalistic character and the layout of many later national publications. Making use of the periodical to afford visibility and to consolidate interchange between peers, Rachel de Queiroz brought in her texts, some reviews of works by national and foreign writers. This paper has the purpose of discuss aspects in the Rachel's publications on the O Cruzeiro that Gustavo Sorá called “mutual consecration”. The present study analyzed chronicles published between 1964 and 1975 in the periodical O Cruzeiro, authored by writer Rachel de Queiroz. Such action leads us to understand that in addition to an informational and entertainment vehicle, the periodical O Cruzeiro also worked as an ideas interchange option among intellectuals. Through these lines help us unravel, at least in part, a fabric of social networks among those writers, journalists, in short, thinkers, in a given temporality.
