SUMMARY:

The general objective of this research was to understand the daily life and succession of the work developed by the baianas de acarajé, who worked on the trays of tourist beaches in Salvador - BA. It is research guided by social constructionism carried out from observations and conversations in everyday life. In this dissertation, three studies were developed in the format of articles. Article I, "The work of the baianas de acarajé: a review of scientific documents in the public domain", brings the reading of the scientific productions regarding the production cycle and the work processes of the baianas between 2012 and 2022. Article II, "In the daily life of the baianas de acarajé: relations at work and the use of public spaces," aimed to present the daily life of the baianas who worked on the beaches of Barra in Salvador-BA, their relations with the work environment and the use of public spaces. Finally, article III, "Succession in the trays of the baianas de acarajé: notes on the daily life in tourist beaches of Salvador - BA," had the purpose of understanding how the succession process took place in the work of the baianas who worked on the beaches of Barra in Salvador - BA. As a result, in the article, I pointed out that the work of the baianas is still little discussed. When they are, they usually point to approaches related to culture, gastronomy, or religion, while aspects such as work, work environments, difficulties faced, and production cycles are research fields to be explored. In Article II, the Bahians occupied the tourist beaches of Salvador as an environment conducive to informal trade due to the demand of tourists. Still, they faced difficulties related to the lack of adequate structure, urban security issues, and restrictions imposed by the government. Article III, on the other hand, presents the Bahian board as spaces that encapsulate stories of resistance, appreciation of cultural roots, and a legacy of knowledge and techniques transmitted over generations. However, the succession challenge becomes evident, although some Bahians hoped their daughters or granddaughters would continue the tradition.  By observing the challenges, acts of resistance, work practices, and relationships of these workers, the research aimed to contribute to the appreciation and understanding of the complexities of this profession, collaborating with the visibility of these workers, their craft, and Brazilian cultural heritage.
