O TERRITÓRIO DE IDENTIDADE DO RECÔNCAVO BAIANO: ANÁLISE DE UMA LITERATURA PRODUZIDA

Abstract

This article has as its theme the analysis of a literature produced about the territory of the Recôncavo Baiano. Its objective is to understand conceptual, historical, socioeconomic and cultural aspects that involve the referred territory in the establishment of free fairs. The question of study was to identify how the free fair is established in the face of the Recôncavo Baiano and the local culture? Methodologically, it used a bibliographic research based on authors such as: Barickman (2003), Mascarenhas and Dolzani (2008), Bauman (2003), Soares and Gomes (2002), Laraia (1997), Mott (1976), Santos, M. (1959; 1996), Santos, B. (2002) and Ribeiro (1995). It also made use of documentary research. It concluded that the street markets had a representative role in the formation of cities in the Recôncavo Baiano due to their process of economic exchanges and sociability; given the historical context, these circumstances establish a relationship between the culture of the place and the practice of the open market within the territory of the Recôncavo Baiano.
