Resumo
This thesis is an investigation into the forms of relationship established between the extractors of stone, the stone itself, and Rio de Contas, a historical and officially preserved town located south of the Chapada Diamantina in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. This ethnographical study follows the flows of stone in the quarries, the historical buildings, and contemporary civil construction in Rio de Contas, describing the gestures, the steps of the operative chain of extraction and construction with this material, and the paths of movement and creation which are made with the stone. In a joint exercise with the extractors, a theory is put forward on the particular features of the knowledge produced in the work with the stone. Sociocultural, historical, physical, chemical and cosmic processes are considered as elements of a mixture that produces subjectivities, landscapes, modes of relation, and towns, highlighting dichotomies such as nature / culture, material / immaterial, technique / intuition, as well as notions of text / image, since these two languages were used symmetrically in the production of the ethnographic and sensitive tissue that makes up this thesis. As a living being, stone continuously intermingles with the other materials to which it relates, being treated here not as an inert "object" outside the movement of life, but as a flow which, as it passes through the town, the extractors, and the technical objects, never stops changing and producing events.
