Abstract

The municipality of Pedro II, located in the northeast of Piauí, Brazil, has in its territory a rich and complex cultural and natural patrimony, with emphasis on the know-how associated with manual weaving - object of study of this action research. This is an applied research work for the construction of products / services: a Participatory Inventory (PI), accompanied by a Specialized Glossary of oral expressions and a Cultural Map of the Manual Weaving of Sleeping Hammock from Pedro II city. We try to understand the ways of know-how of manual weaving (TeMa); The characteristics of know-how; How the processes of transmission occur and what artifacts | instruments are linked to this ancestral wisdom in the territory. The inventory instigates ways of disseminating, valuing and revitalizing of knowledge. The craft of the weavers - as they call themselves the women protagonists of weaving in manual looms - has been present for more than a century in the history of the municipality. However, this cultural practice is facing challenges that jeopardize its permanence, such as the low visibility of teceleas masters, the almost interruption in the transmission of knowledge and the commercial competitiveness with industrial weaving products from other states. Based on the lack of analytical data on the current situation of the cultural reference, the present study proposed an intervention to know the manual weaving in the local social context, through a methodological tool that enabled the empowerment of the holders and interpreters of the know- Make associated with the manual weaving of the sleeping hammock feature of Pedro II city (PI).
