SUMMARY:

Cassava flour is a particularly important food in the rural and Brazilian diets. Therefore, the artisanal production of this ingredient also holds a certain significance in some contexts, even going beyond its strictly economic meaning. This work focuses on analyzing the social practices developed in flour mills located in the Alto Oeste Potiguar region between the 1940s and 1990s, paying particular attention to the symbolic dimensions attributed to these environments by their subjects. The sources used to support this research include various oral testimonies from people who frequented or worked in flour mills, material remains identified in flour mills visited, and photographic records of these spaces. The theoretical construction of this discussion engages with the concept of memory, drawing on the perspectives of various authors, also developing the notion of social practices. The introductory chapter of this dissertation discusses the main theoretical concepts employed in our discussion. The second chapter provides a general characterization of the research subject, presenting the physical structures of the flour mills and the main stages of the production process. The third chapter addresses the development of the social dynamics of the flour mills, starting from the perspective of their subjects, seeking to understand the meanings attributed to these spaces, considering their problems and particularities.
