The Creation Of Co-productive Knowledge:Flexibility,Flows And Heterogeneous Practices On Cacao Trajectories

This study is intended to demonstrate how the assembly within multiple knowledge of what is local and global,can be connected and disconnected by its participantsBased on Venezuela and China one of the traj ectories to be taken in this research,and to which I want to focus my fieldwork,is the practice of cacao,but the cacao considered as consumption,as a final product for sensorial appreciation.Along with this perception,the complex process of production,exists and create a set of edges that question many aspects of practices around cacao,which goes from the soil to that smelling bar,with a characteristic color that we consider as chocolate.Taking into account this multiplicity of meanings that can be generated based on this circuit,during the fieldwork that I demonstrate here,I proposed how on this huge assemblage between two countries,can be generated a whole circuit of meanings,production of knowledge,malleability on their practices and even a flexibility in their own identity inside this transnational flow.
