Abstract

In this research, we had as an object of study the knowledge of the workers of the Colony Z-16 built during the work. We aimed to analyze the knowledge produced by the work of the fishermen and the political participation of those individuals in the social context of their movements. To the development of that study, we dicussed in the qualitative approach and opted by the study of case, and having as reference the historical materialism. As theoricalreference, we had Marx, Saviani, Frigotto, Schawrtz, Damasceno, Franco, Fische, Machado, Kuenzer, Santos among others, we analyzed the result of the interviews which enabled us to come to the following conclusions: a) the fishermen develop their knowledge from their work; b) the knowledge of the workers interviewed are developed in a contradictory way by the relations established and, at the same time, confirm the identity of the working class, but they also reveal proper values of the capital; c) the workrs understand the school as a mean of social rise and not as a possibity of valuation of their own knowledge; d) the political performance of the workers contributes to develop the knowledge in and to their works. This subject matter needs to be deepened and the continuation of the reflection may favor the power of the workers.
