Resumo
This study consists of a historical investigation into the debut of the intellectual José Guilherme
Merquior. A phase of his trajectory that, more than once, was criticized by the author himself – in Razão
do Poema (1965) and in Crítica (1964-1989) (1990) – as a way of manipulating the memory of his
thoughts. Added to this rejection, the political stigmas surrounding his personality contributed to the
forgetting of the texts published in the Sunday Supplement of Jornal do Brasil. Through a procedural
methodology, we rediscovered and cataloged his publications in this vehicle, especially in his column
“Poetry for tomorrow”. Through Han Robert Hauss’s reception theory and dialogue with
historiographical references, we analyze his writings. Thus, the dissertation’s structure includes an
introduction, an assessment of the state of Merquiorian thought, his historical position within the history
of Brazilian literature and the expectations about him, his appearance in the SDJB, his work in the
section “Poetry for tomorrow” and the conclusions. In summary, the set of theoretical and philosophical
values of José Guilherme Merquior’s criticism was directed towards a conceptual horizon of expectation
called poetry for tomorrow or simply tomorrow. Thus, “While tomorrow is not born” is, in addition to
a rediscovery of his obscured debut, a descriptive analysis of the circumstance in which Merquior found
himself in the dawn of his critical-intellectual work.
