Abstract

The subject of this work is manuals and publications on embroidery. A total of 37 publications were studied, from 1972 to 2017, in order to understand the problem of how embroidery manuals are classified in information science. This qualitative research, which is justified by the need to broaden the view of the art of embroidery and how it can stand out in information units, seeks to strengthen the place of speech of women and the feminine. Thus, this work aims to reflect on documentary language, when referring to the Manuals, magazines that work on these publications and where the making of embroidery was conveyed. The research methodology was based on observation through an immersive process, where the experiences lived throughout the investigation went beyond the recognition of a life in a position of knowledge on the subject, coming from personal ancestry. In this way, it was understood that the term “embroidery”, classified by documentary languages, is much larger than the term extracted from Portuguese language dictionaries, or the form used in Documentary Language to classify manuals, although consistent with the purpose, is not consistent with the universe of the researcher, or user, because it has several polysemies, in addition to having distinct ethnography and ethnologies and perceptible at each point. We also discussed the place of memory, both individual and collective, around art. In the end, in addition to the result of the CBT, the research resulted in the exponential product of an exhibition with the application of an embroidery workshop, in order to discuss knowledge with society as well, thus giving back the knowledge acquired beyond the university environment.
