RESUMO:

This ethnographic research identifies, describes and analyzes the social and artifactual practices that conform the Pataxó handicraft economy, seeking to understand the senses of viver sossegado, the Pataxó indigenous’ living well. Starting from the hypothesis that the craft economy is a powerful strategy for valuing and maintaining the Pataxó ways of living, since in very specific tourism contexts, I intend to develop a comparative study in four important cultural places that explores (ethnic)tourism in the Indigenous Land Coroa Vermelha. They are: Aldeia Nova Coroa, Parque Indígena, Txag’ru Mirawê and Reserva da Jaqueira. More than just a tourist product, handicraft is an art form of resistance, since these aura objects are activated by the Pataxó to tell counter-hegemonic stories and build new memories about themselves and the territory they inhabit. Coroa Vermelha is an important historical landmark of the so-called Costa do Descobrimento, a region that since the 1970s has suffered the consequences of predatory tourism - especially real estate speculation, which threatens the traditional territories of the Pataxó, leaving them in a position of social and economic vulnerability. In IL Coroa Vermelha, there are two antagonistic tourism models: predatory mass tourism and cultural tourism, precisely ethnic tourism, guided by a discourse of autonomy articulated by the Indians. In view of this panorama, the main issue that guides this dissertation is how the craft economy has been related to such contradictory modalities of tourism that are, in the last analysis, opposite poles of antagonistic political projects. At the same time, I will try to analyze in what ways such tourism modalities relate to national regimes of alterity or memory. While mass tourism is considered an ethnocidal social phenomenon, ethnic tourism is seen by the Pataxó as a way to achieve the Coroa Vermelha ethnodevelopment. In this sense, ethnic tourism is one of the main strategies of struggle in the quest for viver sossegado, offering fertile ground for the Pataxó culture to be strengthened and the handicraft to be revalued and re-signified as one of the repositories of a new Pataxó tradition and memory. For the Pataxó people, viver sossegado is to live with autonomy; that is to say, it is reflected in the struggle for rights, above all, in the demarcation of traditional territories, which is a precondition for ensuring the continuity of indigenous peoples' ways of living. In these contexts of resistance, reoccupation and cultural elaboration, the craft economy assumes its central role, inasmuch as it is an autonomous activity and an important diacritic of ethnicity.
