Abstract

Popular markets have existed for decades with a much greater purpose than just selling and buying products. The interaction between people, the conviviality of a local social group involves a whole daily life that is formed and perpetuated for generations. One area that certainly stands out in the market for the people who frequent and work

21 there is the food area, where the food boxes are. These boxes are mostly headed by women, who are in charge of them and have their food spread in the popular markets. Considering the above, this study will focus on the observation of the popular market Laurindo Veloso – Mercado da Vermelha - Teresina - PI - using as methodological strategy the photographic point of view and direct observation, as well as the observation of the historical, gastronomic, affective and cultural importance of the cooks who work there for over 20 years, in order to rescue a value that may be being lost over time. The project is anchored in authors such as: Freixas and Chaves (2012), Lopes (2015), Barbosa (2011), Araújo and Barbosa (2004), Arretche (2015), Graham (2010), Gil (2009), Sontag (1981), Bosi; Barbosa and Chauí (2015), among others that corroborate for the understanding and structure of the project. The study obtained as an answer to the objectives that the relationship between both parts of this research exists and also showed that the market needs women cooks to exist and they need that space to support themselves and to exercise their work. This relationship generates gains and makes the food culture of that place gain visibility and be maintained.
