Lapidação criadora na joalheira contemporânea da Amazônia: processo criativo de um designer de joias

Abstract

This research investigated from my experience as a designer, the creative process of jewelry in the Polo Jeweler of Pará. From the notion of Creative Lapidation, we seek to understand the factors of creative induction that inspire the act of creation of these artifacts, starting from theoretical research Integrated in the artistic practices of the author himself, and the Creative Path, proposed by artist-researcher Sonia Rangel. I present a reflection based fundamentally on notions of Ethnocenology and Comprehensive Sociology, reflecting on the function of jewelry in the contemporary context. The approaches of these two theoretical lines go beyond authors in common, such as Michel Maffesoli and Renata Pitombo Cidreira: premises such as attention focused on social complexity and its relations with the individual, and the importance of the experience and involvement of the author in the phenomenon investigated. By observing the formal elements present in the works, it was possible to deepen and discuss the Creative Lapidation and its Powers, relating them to Ethnocenology (Jean Marie-Pradier, Armindo Bião and Miguel Santa Brigida), Studies of Culture (Paes Loureiro), and Creative Processes (Sonia Rangel and Fayga Ostrower), aimed at a proposal of reflection on the Creative Stoning in contemporary jewelry design in the Amazon.
