Abstract

This study aims at offering a ethnographical description of the work of the paneleiras - potters of Lago Grande do Curuai, in Santarém, Pará, in order to understand the relationships expressed in the context of the pottery making and to demonstrate, through the notions of mau olhado and panema (jelousy and misluck), how they influence the different cultural choices related to the craft of the artisans and manifest themselves as underlying drivers of relational conflicts in the community of Lago Grande. To this purpose, it was used the participative method, producing through conversations, interviews, photographs and audiovisual files a dense base of ethnographic data, as well as a dense literature research of relevant works in order to comprehend the proposed matter.
