Abstract

This paper examines the institutional trajectory and the formative influence of Antonio Candido in the period between 1961 and 1970, when he became the main teacher, supervisor, and mentor of the Literary Theory and Compared Literature course at the University of São Paulo (USP). In particular, it describes in detail the major characteristics of the organizational structure and dynamics of the course and seeks to make evident its importance to the consolidation of the professional identity and recognition achieved by Candido in the field of contemporary literary criticism. In the end, Candido’s model of professional performance is compared to the initiatives of the sociologist Florestan Fernades Chair of Sociology I at FFCL/USP from 1954 on.
