Abstract

The present article has as its aims identify the traditional knowledge that exists in handcraft produced by youth and adult quilombola’s people and the presence of geometric concepts in the community of Jurussaca, at Tracuateua/PA. The authors who base the analysis are: Castro (1997), Freire (1996), D’Ambrósio (2007). Methodologically was used a qualitative approach from a perspective of the phenomenological focus, the use of interviews, observation and photographs as a way of collecting data and a visual record about the production of handicrafts. In the analyzes of this study, it was observed that there are three products that artisans make for the use of artisanal fishing and family farming, they are: cofo, paneiro and socó. There is an evidence that in these craft products, used in the economic occupation of the community, emerge knowledge and traditional practice that allow the construction of flat geometric figures and the recognition of the life experiences of youth people and adults in their cultural, social and historical dimensions present in the daily life of this community.
