Abstract

This research follows the dialogues and shared experiences between Mário de Andrade, Dina Dreyfus Lévi-Strauss and Claude Lévi-Strauss in São Paulo, 1935-1938, when Andrade was director at the City of São Paulos Department of Culture and Recreation, and Lévi-Strauss and Dreyfus come to Brazil along with the French Mission at the University of São Paulo, aiming to do fieldwork among amerindian peoples. By following their dialogues and the common projects they develop regarding the establishment of an anthropological laboratory that would come to be the Society of Ethnography and Folklore (Sociedade de Etnografia e Folclore, 1937-1941), I intend to obtain, from a precise point of view, an image of the anthropological laboratory as conceived in imagination and practice during the interwar period in Brazil and elsewhere.
