摘要：The aim of this text is to analyse Theo Brandão’s approach concerning folklore. It is presupposed that the folklorist from Alagoas has a point of view about his object of study due to a set of values, intrinsically related to the social position he occupies in a backward capitalist society, in the case, the one from Alagoas. It is evident that his concept of folklore is deeply characterized by the need for representation of the existent – as well as what it is to come – whom satisfies the modernising local elites. For these purposes, the retaking of positivist approach on the study of folkloric phenomenon is very useful as it separates by a yawning hiatus the man of the people – agent per excellence of the folkloric expressions – from the current modernity. This assimilation of positivism also has epistemological implications: the sui generis character of folkloristic object consists in its lack of causal nexus with modern reality, therefore, the folklorist activity is restricted to descriptive work, putting heuristic objectives aside
