Abstract
This article explores the early intersections between psychoanalysis, folklore and literature, in the essays of the Brazilian Arthur Ramos and the Argentinean Bernardo Canal Feijóo. Ramos articulates psychoanalysis and anthropology to analyze the Afro-brazilian folklore and, in this way, to gain access to the popular collective unconscious. From a near epistemological perspective (although ideologically divergent), Canal Feijóo produces an major modernization of “folklore” as an object of study because he rejects the association between the popular symbolism with a transhistorian ontology, and because he uses the psicoanalysis.Downloads
