Livro The Folkcommunication Theory

The Fol Theory is a collection of texts that aims to make fol studies more accessible to a global audience. It features translations of 15 key works by 20 scholars that provide a overview of fol development in Brazil ( to the beginning of the 21st century). Organized into three sections - Founding Fathers, Dialogues, and Interfaces -, it introduces foundational concepts and explores interdisciplinary connections and contemporary debates. This translation project began in due to the lack of English-language literature on fol despite the growing international interest in Brazilian theories.

The Folkcom Network collaborated with an English language project of the Letters and Arts Department at the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC; Ilheus, Bahia, Brazil), and the Graduate Program in Letters and Representations (PPGL-UESC) to curate and translate seminal articles under strict supervision, ensuring accuracy and clarity. The initiative also involved developing specialized vocabulary to maintain the theoretical depth of the original texts, making them accessible for scholars and students unfamiliar with the field. This book represents a strategic step for the Brazilian Network of Researchers in Fol (Rede Fol in promoting local narratives within the global research landscape.

Fol recognition has grown internationally, evidenced by participation from North American scholars like Joseph Straubhaar and Jake Draper in Folkcom Network events. This work is a significant step toward enhancing the visibility of Fol and fostering academic exchanges. By making these texts available inEnglish, we encourage scholars to engage with and expand upon Fol foundational insights, inspiring future research.
