O cotidiano e os saberes das mulheres na aldeia São Francisco: um olhar a partir de dona Geralda Ciríaco

Abstract

This study focuses on the daily practices of Dona Geralda Ciríaco, a resident of the São Francisco village in the municipality of Baía da Traição, examining the activities that constitute her everyday life and are essential for maintaining social relations. The aim is to understand how the knowledge she applies through practices within the village setting is fundamental to community relations. The research was conducted employing participant observation and a theoretical framework grounded in anthropology. These daily practices not only perpetuate knowledge but also serve as key elements for social cohesion and the sharing of principles that organize the culture, thereby reaffirming the central role of indigenous women.
