Rendeiras de bilros de Pindoretama: moda e tradição

Abstract

This article seeks to understand how fashion influences the production of pieces in the handicraft of bobbin lacemakers at the Community Center for Crafts in the locality of Sítio Ema in the city of Pindoretama-Ce, how this tradition has been maintained and how it is being passed on to new generations. The work was based on bibliographical, research, interviews and observations carried out with the lacemakers. Considering the importance of maintaining traditions, it is proposed to understand the relevance of artisans and their knowledge, as well as their adaptation to the consumer market and the identification of the means by which fashion is inserted in this context. In the course of the work, it is possible to perceive the effort of the lacemakers to keep this tradition alive, both due to the lack of interest of the new generations, as in the positioning of its products in the midst of the consumer market
