Abstract

This article is dedicated, based on the analysis of the duel between Raul Pompeia and Olavo Bilac (1892), to the study of external influences, especially political, exerted on the Brazilian artistic-literary field. I argue that the clash between the writers is a paradigmatic case of how much the political conflicts of the first republican governments influenced the configuration of the intellectual field at the time. Although the duel was suspended at the last moment, the influence of its real motivations would only cease with the end of the Floriano Peixoto Government (1891-1894), which allows us to affirm that in this period the clashes (in the double sense of the term) between the writers were essentially motivated by their positions and stances taken in the political-ideological field.
