Abstract

Cutting the taboa fibers in the taboal, that is, in the marshland, is the first step in the production process of the crafts sold at Quilombo Campinho da Independência, located in Paraty, in the southern part of the state of Rio de Janeiro. This stage involves knowledge and techniques related to the use of this natural resource, which are integral to the community’s way of life. Beyond this knowledge of production (Appadurai, 2009), the taboal is also a privileged arena for understanding conflicts between artisans and researchers regarding the management of taboa.
