Abstract

This Masters research financed by Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (grant #2019/00323-0, São Paulo Research Foundation – FAPESP), intends to investigate the circulation of the book ‘O Campo e a Cidade: na história e na literatura’ (1973) by the welsh author Raymond Williams (1921-1988) in Brazil, starting from the date of its first translation to Portuguese in 1989. The data we found found in the consulted online collections indicate that Williams' work in Brazil has outstanding presence in both public and private universities' libraries. To better understand the circulation of the book, we mapped the presence of this author in Brazil and then conducted a study in what is the meaning of "nature" as a concept in Raymond Williams's works, which seem to have attracted a following of readers whom are interested in the contrasting issues of countryside and city. The data hereby presented lead us to the hypothesis in which the book has found an intellectual ambiance favorable to its reception, and once we began a deeper discussion about the national intellectual production, we have found that the contrast between countryside and urban worlds, so prominent in ‘O Campo e a Cidade’, is central to the social thinking in Brazil (AU)
