As louceiras de Santa Luzia - PB: um estudo imagético do “modo de fazer” a louça entre as mulheres negras da Serra do Talhado

Abstract

This work is based on field research begun in 2011 and completed in 2014. The main objective of the research is to reflect from pictures- photographs and a documentary- as women artisans manufacture their wares. The survey was conducted in the Quilombo Talhado, Quilombo Comunity represented in the film Aruanda of Linduarte Noronha, pioneering filmmaker to portray the interior of Paraíba realistically in the 1960s. Aruanda was a movie considered one of the exponents of the new cinema. The research proposes to understanding how the process of production of wares from the perspective of their own potters using the method of visual anthropology. It is intended to reveal how they depict their own identity and ethnic representations in the Community, building an image representation based on reflexivity as a method of ethnographic research. Currently the residents of Serra do Talhado are divided between Rural and Urban Quilombo. The potters still produce the dishes in the same way their ancestors did, conveying how to make dishes from generation to generation.
