This article is based on
research carried out in a miriti toy production
studio and was developed for 10 months, which
constituted the graduation work. The research
objective was to observe how the gender relations
were materialized at the production and in the
miriti toy itself and what cultural knowledge was
transmitted at the process of making toys. I quote
Williams (1992), Hobsbawm (1984), Clifford
(2008), Scott (1995), Louro (1997, 2000), Silva
(2000, 2004), Connell (1995), Moreira (2002),
Candau (2003), Ribeiro (2010) e Gomes (2013).
And as result, I inform that the miriti toy tradition
is bicentennial, anchored in the belief of rough
work and light work, on which it is sorted by
gender the toy production. This gender culture is
governed by normativity and by the spatialization
that determine the proper places that the
masculine and feminine bodies must occupy; in
view of the hierarchy and inequality existing in
the studio, there is a need to deconstruct this norm
through the multicultural curriculum.
