Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the transformation of traditional handicraft activity in the municipality of Anchieta (ES). This transformation is accomplished through the conversion of techniques and other traditional values, due to the new exchanges with actors like SAMARCO Mining and SEBRAE-ES, as well as the expansion and diversification of its consumer market. Its products had been awarded with international prizes (UNESCO, MERCOSUR), gaining visibility in the global market, while partnerships and training courses were developed to fulfill new consumer’s standards. Even more important for a geographical study, the new craft of Anchieta as observed in the NABOA Association seems to bring territorial consequences, setting the terms of a new cultural industry, as described by Power and Scott. These territorial consequences are both physical and symbolic, constituted through the construction of the Association’s headquarters and the continuous incorporation of external values to the productive process
