Abstrakt: The objective of this study is to outline a possible domain of curatorial activities in the context of Brazilian literature, using, for this, the theoretical-methodological approach of Domain Analysis. Two of the eleven approaches proposed by Hjørland for the characterization of a domain were undertaken: that of Bibliometric Studies and Terminological and Discourse Studies. The research is characterized as exploratory and theoretical in nature, reviewing a selection of Brazilian scientific literature on Information Science. The results demonstrate that it is possible to delineate the relationships between the themes and the theoretical positions that characterize the discourses around the term 'curation' by analyzing, comparing, and categorizing the essential qualities of the curatorial activities listed in the publications. It is concluded that by operationalizing the characterization of a domain, Domain Analysis allows more than outlining curatorial activities in their limits, analogies, and correspondences, but also identifying the nuclei of studies around this theme and their relations and research trends.
