| Résumé: | This work presents a systematic review of contemporary Brazilian tourism studies concerning gastronomy. To do this, we analyse articles from authors related to Brazilian institutions that published in tourism studies journals, in the period from 2007 to 2016. In addition, we conducted a brief analysis of the contents of the articles and investigated the academic trajectories of the authors through additional publications, outlining the emergence of a new scientific subfield. The results show that Brazilian tourism studies on gastronomy are recent but growing rapidly and that, because of its multidisciplinary object, demands a balance between the contributions of the several fields that compose it. In this sense we detected that, although almost a third of the articles have properly approached the cultural and social aspects of gastronomy in relation to tourism, more than a third dealt with ethnicity in an essentialist way and less than ten per cent took a critical attitude towards these aspects. Finally, the data point out that this is due to lack of influence from social sciences, especially from anthropology. |
