RESUMO
Busca-se compreender como o crítico literário Moysés Vellinho se inseriu no processo de afirmação de legitimidades intelectuais no contexto cultural marcado pelo par 'província-nação', comparando-se sua atuação com a de Érico Veríssimo entre 1930 e 1964. Os personagens foram escolhidos em virtude de seu protagonismo no cenário cultural local e brasileiro no período. Examina-se o sentido dos textos e o lugar social que os produziu: uma sociedade confrontada simultaneamente com a institucionalização universitária e a especialização incipiente das humanidades, a expansão do mercado de literatura e a releitura do regionalismo sul-rio-grandense.
The article compares the roles that literary critic Moysés Vellinho and author Érico Veríssimo played in affirming intellectual legitimacy in a period when the Brazilian cultural context was marked by the notion of 'province-nation,' focusing on 1930 to 1964. These two figures were chosen because they were protagonists on both the regional and national cultural stages during this time. The meaning of their texts is examined against the backdrop of the social space that produced them: a society that was witnessing both the institutionalization of the university and the start of specialization within the humanities, as well as the expansion of the literature market and the re-interpretation of Rio Grande do Sul regionalism.
