Abstract

This text introduces the dossier “Intellectual Circulation between France and Brazil: Case Studies,” which brings together works that address academic exchange between France and Brazil in the social sciences. Through specific case studies, the dossier seeks to explore the dynamics of circulation, power asymmetries, and the ways such transits are reinterpreted in their respective national contexts. Exchanges between France and Brazil are, on the one hand, constitutive of the institutionalization of Brazilian sociology. On the other hand, there is also the constant transit of Brazilian researchers, welcomed in France for periods of training or research. This presence has impacts on both the French and Brazilian fields, each one dealing with the circulation of researchers, publications, and theories in a specific way. It is part of the interest of the works presented here to understand on what sociological bases this circulation takes place, based on analyses of concrete cases.
