Abstract

The verification of inter-quality of what is textual between Snow White and Red Small Hat from Grimm brothers and The Buried Girl Alive and The Girl of Gold Earrings from Câmara Cascudo, it gives indications of specific cultural translation of the Brazilian Northeast, which, yonder bringing up to date social archetypes and interdicts, it is adjusted to the Northeast Regionalistic Movement s objectives, idealized cultural project by Gilberto Freyre in 1926, in favor for the valorization of that region. A study based on Northeast Regionalistic Manifest makes possible the verification of the cultural translation daily practice, in the adaptation of the popular narratives, it is made first by usual men, in view of stories circulation space. Subsequent to this, but without needing the beginning as the second moment of the translation, it is found in the Luis da Câmara Cascudo s social work, follower of the Freyre s Movement, the intention to also become these narratives registers of the national patrimony, since they had been published in the entitled work Brazil s Traditional Stories, edited for the first time in 1946.
