The editorials of Revista Literária Pixé – a periodical based in Cuiabá-MT, which had, between March 2019 to May 2023, a total of fifty-three editions published, being divided into thirty-six regular editions and seventeen special editions – articulate, in almost all its editions, knowledge related to literary studies, in order to exercise a criticism that does not classify itself as academic, or as impressionist or amateur, but a mixed criticism and that tends to the essay. That said, the present research has as corpus the editorials of Revista Pixé, demonstrating how they are the result of a maturation of the genre and contemporary Brazilian literary criticism, exercising a distinct literary criticism from the academic and impressionist ones, that had great strength in the Brazilian press until the middle of the nineteenth century. For this reason, we call them editorials of critical expressions. In addition, we will seek to list the critical expressions present in its more than fifty editions, divided and organized by themes, bringing organicity and continuity to the ideas defended in journals.
