Abstract

This work has as main goal , the ethnographic construction of social , cultural and environmental realities of the "masters makers of canoes " that are situated in the city of Sugar Loaf, Alagoas , through a perspective that embraces the power of interdisciplinarity in scientific formulation knowledge about the given object . We opted for this bias given that interdisciplinarity in its most current form seeks to understand the ways in which individuals through their interactions , produce and reproduce through social relationships and interaction with nature . The master, because practice is systematized knowledge is the basis for completing the work and conduct of social practices , never leaving aside the recovery and exaltation of the secret. It is handmade in the shipyards on the banks of the São Francisco River , along the urban perimeter , which our study has developed . Thus , the yards are constructed as the locus , the observation point of the exercise master, the creation and recreation of the work of artisans from boats, feeder and fed by sociocultural dynamics expertise of teachers . To do this you must also understand how these men endowed with wisdom and dexterity articulate their practices with environmental , social and cultural factors that directly interfere in relations appropriation of space.
