RESUMO

This thesis intend to investigate the knowledges and practices involved in the feeding process of familiar farmers in the city of Jaboticaba / RS, from alimentation phenomena described in the history of food and the narrative of local residents. Accordingly, this paper deal with feeding relations that the subjects have with their environment and with each other, considering that the practices are made with agroecological appropriations of the space where these groups live. Thus, there was a face-to-face interaction with the farmers. Interviews where made, as well as observations of feeding practices and analysis of narratives about the memory of feeding activities undertaken by the group of farmers. Therefore, from the history of alimentation, it was investigated the relationship of different human groups with food, presenting an analytical description of the movements made by subjects in the food system, as well as an analysis of the relationship between subject-areafood. Thus, it was found that the preference to consume certain foods - for the familiar group of farmers and particularly for the individuals - is held as a serie of experiences situated along the history of the social group as well with representations and meanings assigned to food. Thereby, from the memory of "the old time" and perceptions about local knowledge and feeding practices, it s evident the existence of: a) classifications and differentiations used in activities related to nutrition; b) distinctions about the meaning that the food has for different groups, different social occasions and purposes in the use of the food; c) changes in the act of eating - with a visible reduction of the food grown for domestic consumption of the familiar group, that happens because of the inclusion of products bought in markets. Such phenomena have revealed a erosion of cultural feeding that influenced in the transformation of practices and nourishment knowledge of family farmers. Therefore, the meaning and "remeaning" processes of the nourishment s practices and knowledges was evident in the relation that the farmers have with their space, with elements related to transfer the traditional knowledge and preparation of food and, finally, to a process of alimentar and nourishment security for individuals and local collectivities. Therefore, the knowledge and the practices express collective and individual history, saying about the local life.
