This research has the goal to analyze the traditional knowledge that is manifested in
toys and jokes that run through different generations and integrate the life of the
Quilombola Community of Lajeado. The study focused on this Amazon community,
located in the rural area of the municipality of Dianópolis-TO. We tried to achieve the
specific objectives: to identify toys and jokes in different generations in the
Quilombola Community of Lajeado; verify the permanence and changes in relation to
toys and jokes in different generations; and traditional knowledge present in toys and
jokes in different generations in the Lajeado Quilombola Community. For this
purpose, the ethnographic perspective was taken as a methodology, combined with
oral history. One research took a qualitative approach with field practices, participant
observation, conversation circles and intergenerational workshops. The interlocutors
of this work were (23) twenty-three quilombola remnants, between 6 and 85 years of
age, who are people referring to four generations existing in the community. The
theoretical support that supported the constructed argument was: Kishimoto (1994),
Adriana Friedmann (1992), Johan Huizinga (2000), Gilles Brougère (2010), Walter
Benjamin (1984), Arruti (2010), Munanga (1996), Malinowski (1975), Laraia (2014),
Bá Hampaté (2010), Bosi (2012), Alberti (2000), Meihy (2002), Ferdnand Tonnies
(1957), among other scholars. At the end of the work, it is concluded that the
traditional knowledge that is present in the toys and jokes that permeate different
generations of people in the Community are essential for the maintenance of the
quilombola culture.
