Abstract

Abstract: For many years, the Brazilian
historiographic production about corporal practices,
including sports, was limited to a few references.
However since the 1990’s it is possible to observe
a growth of the number of historical studies of this
nature. A characteristic of this production is that
normally they are about local or regional realities.
The aim of this article is to discuss the possibilities,
potentialities and limits of the method of Comparative
History to extend the contributions of sport historical
studies. We hope it may contribute to problematize
the current stage of our historiographic production,
presenting landmarks in order to continue the
process of qualification of our inquiries, and even
to establish more usual contacts to the international
scientific community.
