Our thesis research that was born from our insertion in the Sisal Territory, from work carried out at the University of the State of Bahia (UNEB), Campus 14, Conceição do Coité-BA. It aims to investigate the generation of experiences and knowledge that take place in the production coopera-tives “Fibras do Sisal” and “Sabores da Terra” (Papagaio community), in Valente-BA, in the Sisal Territory, in the semi-arid region of the State, from Bahia. For this, we approach the theories of Habitats (INGOLD, 2019), as well as Social Systems (LUHMANN, 2016), (MATURANA, 2014a; 2014b) from the Cognitive Network Analysis (ReCo) and Cognitive Analysis (AnCo). The research enables the develop- ment of multidisciplinary interfaces that permeate the Theories of Social Systems, Theories of Networks and Entanglements, Complexity, and the concepts of Affectivity, Agencies, Cognitive Analysis, Knowledge Diffusion, Experiences, Territory, and Cognitive Networks. Thus, we highlight the interactions and connections that form a set of knowledge within a qualitative research perspective, using the methodological procedures of participant observation, ethnography, free interviews, and document analysis. Thus, we observe that such experiences and knowledge materialize in local productions in affectivity from their own and appropriate expressive and complex elements, that is, in the process of re-elaborating reality and experiences in the Sisal Territory where different forms of life. In addition to evidencing the diffusion of the culture of knowledge, what is expected is to present a theoretical-methodological model for Cognitive Analysis (AnCo) in other territories in successive research.
