Abstract

This work has as objective to investigate the several ways of the existence of bobbins lace made by the lace-makers, women from "Casa das Rendeiras", in Ilha Grande (Morros de Mariana, PI-Brazil), in its production and confection process, from the very gathering of the raw material to the sale of the laces. It presents an ethnography that intends to apprehend, though briefly, the relations that are constituted between laces and lace-makers in the space of Casa das Rendeiras. Drawing upon Ingold¿s theoretical ideas, my interest is to focus on the several relations established between the laces and lace-makers in the movements of lines that shape the lace¿s points. In order to express the relations observed in the place I took for basis the meshwork drawing as proposed by Ingold (2012), where the lines are traces of the lace¿s material conjugated to the technical knowledge and the ability of each lace-maker showing the lace making learning, the technique, the lace-makers relations in Casa das Rendeiras as a place of sociability, and yet the emotional and aesthetic aspects involved in the work of making laces. Upon this perspective the work of making laces is thought as a kind of knowledge transmitted in Casa das Rendeiras in the relation between laces and lace-makers (AU)
