Our aim, with this work, is to discuss the relationship between intersensory communication in shaping
of the taste experienced at the fair in Guamá. Our work is based on a sensory ethnography (PINK, 2010; 2009
[2017]) carried out between August 2011 and August 2017. We use the phenomenology of Gadamer (1976) and
Merleau-Ponty (1945) as a theoretical-methodological procedure, seeking to establish a fusion between
ethnographic reflection and reduction, or phenomenological description, in order to excavate the senses of
sensory interactions at starting from the communication processes of the senses of the body and produced through
it in the ways of interacting at the fair in Guamá and, from then on, in the conformation of the taste experienced
there. In other words, we try to understand how taste at the fair is produced from the cognitive processes perceived
by the body and, at the same time, produced by the senses within the interactions produced there, generating
communication processes and, thus, participating in the engendering and societies or social forms (SIMMEL,
1983, 2006; 2013) generated there.
