Resumo: | This is a gender study on the artistic production of ceramic in some communities of Jequitinhonha Valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Traditionally only women, who were called ‘potters’, produced this kind of craft in that region and it used to be taught from mothers to daughters. As ceramic artifacts became an alternative source of income, men decided to produce them. The entrance of men in the craft caused some re-elaboration of gender relations in those communities, and allowed us to detect gender not as a set of fixed corporifications, but as something under constant construction. A very important point here is that, although transmitted by women and a result of feminine activity, the production of ceramic incorporated male values. When men gained access to a traditionally defined feminine activity, they were able to draw from the craft symbolic resources for the representation of masculinity. |

Naquela região, assim que a arte do barro se tornou uma fonte alternativa de renda, vários homens decidiram entrar para o ofício. A entrada de homens na arte do barro provocou reconfigurações nas relações de gênero. Um ponto muito importante a ser observado aqui é que apesar de tradicionalmente transmitida por mulheres e pela ação feminina, a arte do barro tem incorporado valores de masculinidade: ao se aproximarem de um ofício tradicionalmente feminino, os homens passaram a retirar dele recursos simbólicos de representação de masculinidade.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2001-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200100010000410.1590/S0104-026X2001000100004Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2001); 56Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2001); 56Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 9 n. 1 (2001); 561806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2001000100004/8893Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMatos, Sônia Missagia de2019-09-30T08:43:26Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/9672Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:37.577975Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
