(Re)existência da produção de farinha tradicional no Distrito Terra Nova, município São Sebastião, Alagoas

Abstract

This Course Completion Work is the result of the author's interest as a member of the community and researcher in recording the production of flour, the coexistence relationships, the stages of the flour-making process and how the artisanal method still (re)exists in the disappearance/forgetfulness in the Terra Nova district, São Sebastião-AL municipality. The theoretical basis included scholars such as: HÜBENER (1981), WANDERLEY (1985), OLIVEIRA (1997), ABRAMOVAY (1998), SANTOS (1978), SILVA (2011) and others. The monograph is structured into four chapters: The first presents a discussion on the difference between cassava and cassava and the concept of what flour houses are and their history in the district. The second explains the importance of teaching and coexistence with past generations to maintain the practice of flour production. The third shows in detail all the steps taken from growing the root to making the flour, obtained from technical field work. Finally, the fourth talks about the process of forgetting and denying artisanal flour production.
