Although Brazilian scholars have collected and studied folklore
since the second half of the nineteenth century, their work has
gone largely unnoticed by folklorists working in other parts of the
world. With the exception of anthropologists who occasionally study
the folk literature of indigenous peoples in Brazil, few foreigners
are familiar with, or even aware of, the kinds of folklore studies
that have been undertaken in that country. This work aims to
characterize the nature of Brazilian narrative studies and trends;
to discuss and assess the roots of the apparent preoccupations,
approaches and objectives of traditional narrative scholarship in
Brazil; to examine Brazilian folklore scholarship in light of
Euro-American research; and to point out the results and
accomplishments of Brazilian research while simultaneously
indicating possibilities for new directions in research. First
published in 1994.
