The Folkcommunication Theory is a collection of texts that aims to make folkcommunication studies more accessible to a global audience. It features translations of 15 key works by 20 scholars that provide a comprehensive overview of folkcommunicationtheory’s development in Brazil (1967 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 2017 due to the lack of English-language literature on folkcommunication, despite the growing international interest in Brazilian communication 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 supervis
