Resumen
The production of textile artifacts is spatially distributed in the state of Rio Grande do Norte in a way that it is concentrated in the metropolitan area of Natal and in the Seridó Potiguar region. The later houses 49% of the total of production units of the State, with emphasis on the domestic utensils field (FIERN, 2017). The activity is likewise concentrated within the region itself, especially in its western half, in the municipalities of Caicó, Currais Novos and Jardim de Piranhas. Their productive structure is based on obsolete techniques and technologies, with the origin of the capital being local or regional and intensive use of cheap and low-skilled labour. In view of the above, the present study has as central question: how can an activity with the characteristics of the production of textile artefacts in Seridó Potiguar be successfully inserted in the current dynamics of spatial circuits of production and, moreover, coexist with the hegemonic technical systems of planetary order? Therefore, the aim is to analyze the use of the territory by the spatial circuit of textile production, with emphasis on the production of domestic utensils, through its processes, dynamics and content in the region of the Seridó Potiguar. For the development of the research, a bibliographical review was carried out, mainly from Andrade (1981), Arroyo (2008), Azevedo (2007, 2013), Barrios (2014), Castillo and Frederico (2010), Furtado (1969), Marx (1990, 2011), Moraes (1984), Santos (2012) and Silveira (2010b). Furthermore, some theoretical and methodological procedures were adopted to collect and systematize data, based on the techniques of documentary research, field research - in which interviews were executed based on semi-structured scripts and forms - articulated with a spatial descriptive statistical baseline. It was determined, through the research, that in the spatial of production of textile artefacts in Seridó Potiguar, the raw material flow derives mainly from the Northeast region itself, materializing the existence of a monopoly, in these assets supply, controlled by companies from Ceará with subsidiaries in Rio Grande do Norte. The machine's productive consumption flow and equipment comes exclusively from the Concentrated Region, notably from São Paulo. Conversely, the consumptive consumption is markedly sprayed, embracing mainly the Northeast and, in a lesser extent, the North and Southeast region. It was possible to conclude that the circulation process is completely alienated, considering that local companies have a relative capacity of production, however, as they occupy subaltern positions in the territory, they do not own market power to hold their control, awarding themselves the middlemen action. In this field, the places vertical union overlaps to a great extent to the horizontal links with the productive use of the Seridó Potiguar territory. Considering that the low social and productive cohesion between the textile field agents verified in the mentioned cut by means of the absent, to a certain extent, of the State, as a public policies promoter, and in detriment of the development of the activity itself in the region. The shy initiatives of the Public Power insists on thinking about the productive branches in isolation, and not the territory used as a whole, when they do not arbitrarily transfer their role to the corporative interests.
