A vida como obra de arte: saberes e fazeres do camponês – mãos que medem e lutam

Abstract

In this text, thinking about the possibility of taking life as a work of art, we give visibility to life forms of some subjects from the rural areas: the artisanal fishermen Anastacio, Joaquim, Bino and the weaver Romilda. Based on the theoretical framework of Ethnomathematics from and with the use of elements of the theoretical proposals of the second Wittgenstein, Foucault and Deleuze we showed the quantitatives rationalities used by these subjects, and we show units sense distinct of hegemonic mathematical rationality. In addition to presenting the ways of life of these subjects in the field, we continue our task of questioning the universality and neutrality of mathematics, showing that there are other ways to mathematizing the life.
