Resumo
The writer Euclides da Cunha was killed due to a series of events involving Dilermando de Assis,
the lover of his wife, Ana Emília, whom he tried to kill to recover his honor, in circumstances
that were narrated in different ways, from different memories and became known as the
“Tragédia da Piedade”. From this event on, we begin to understand how his narrative and the
memory disputes that rise from them contribute to erect Cunha´s image as an ideal of man and
intellectual, a myth - and how these constructions come from historical circumstances and the
reception of his life, death and work articulated with the performance and creation of traditions
of the cultural institutions of which he was part. Being a part of this groups of intellectuals at
the service of the same cause (the institution of the Republic as the oficial brazilian regimen
and its solidification), is what will allow the space of the myth to Cunha. This work intends to
understand how Cunha's mythification become possible due to his position in this institutions
(alive and after death), not only from his place in the literary canon or only from the place of
literary criticism. This is possible with the analysis of the construction of narratives that affirm
his place as an honorable family man, a great intellectual, culminating in his personal
mythification and the inscription of his name among the greats of the country. This is due not
only to the quality of his work or the circumstances of his death, but also because his peers
recognized him and defended him considering that, among them, the value of the cultural
traditions they protected was already determined, in a context that they also helped to build –
precisely that of the Republic, in a narrative over which they held control (of information,
language, vocabulary) from the same sensibilities, the same worldviews.
