Uma mobilidade social localizada: a carreira biográfica de uma artesã do sertão mineiro

Abstract

This article presents the biographical career of a craftswoman of Minas Gerais state’s hinterlands. It began with women artisans of her socio-familiar en-vironment and developped to symbolize regional culture. Her life formation that extrapolates arts did not go through conventional feminine life cycle such as for-mal studies, employment and marriage, but events that were contextualized by that time, such as the exchange with foreigners (Frei Nicolas and students of the Rondon Project) and the presidency of Workers Party of her city. The public pro-jection that she then obtained gave birth to what we call localized social mobility.
