Thor Gotaas er en norsk folklorist og forfatter og skriver kulturhistoriske bøker med folkloristisk vinkling.

Gotaas er særlig opptatt av outsiderne i samfunnet, og også de som beveger seg mer enn vanlig, enten det gjelder som levemåte eller på fritiden. Gotaas gransker det seriøse og det kuriøse i folkelig kultur, og kombinerer detaljstudier med lange linjer for søke ny historisk innsikt.

Som folkeminnegransker er han spesielt interessert i mentalitetshistorie og skiftende holdninger, enten det er historisk, geografisk eller sosialt. Forfatterskapet omhandler emner som idrettshistorie, særlig skihistorie, vagabonder og taterfolket.

Han er cand.philol. fra Universitetet i Oslo med hovedoppgaven Holdninger til tatere sett i historisk perspekt ...more
