This article proposes an itinerary of the studies on folkcommunication, a theory that emerged in Brazil during the sixties, and that has been constituted as a conceptual and methodological contribution for the study of the cultural manifestations from the social communication processes, that incorporates the economic and technological challenges in which local and traditional communities are involved in Latin America.
