O objectivo desta dissertação é investigar se a indicação geográfica pode representar um instrumento de suporte ao desenvolvimento socioeconómico e humano das artesãs da Associação para o Desenvolvimento da Renda Irlandesa de Divina Pastora – ASDEREN, que trabalham com a renda irlandesa. Como metodologia, utiliza-se um estudo de caso baseado em entrevistas a três grupos diferentes de rendeiras e depoimentos de representantes de algumas instituições, públicas e privadas, que têm ou possam vir a ter interface com a ASDEREN. Fica demonstrado que as peças feitas de renda irlandesa precisam alinhar-se a necessidades e gostos dos consumidores sem perder a autenticidade e a originalidade. Capacitar novas artesãs e aperfeiçoar as habilidades das demais são mecanismos que auxiliam a actividade, apesar de não serem suficientes para garantir sua sustentabilidade. É necessário que haja maior impacto da renda irlandesa nos rendimentos familiares, do que se conclui que a indicação geográfica poderá cumprir um papel importante, vinculando os produtos artesanais ao seu território de origem – no caso, Divina Pastora (Sergipe) – e, assim, atraindo clientes interessados neste diferencial. Todavia, para alcançar resultados eficazes, as parcerias da ASDEREN com algumas instituições devem continuar, aliadas à vontade política de promover programas que fortaleçam a renda irlandesa na comunidade e auxiliem no processo de desenvolvimento socioeconómico e humano. Tudo isso em conformidade com a perspectiva de expansão das capacidades do economista Amartya Sen, na qual as próprias pessoas devem decidir o tipo de vida que desejam levar.
This study investigates whether geographical indication may represent an instrument to support socioeconomic and human development of women who are members of the Association for the Development of the Irish Lace from Divina Pastora – ASDEREN and work with Irish lace. The methodological framework consists of a case study based on interviews with three different groups of Irish lace artisans as well as with representatives of public and private institutions which are or might be involved with ASDEREN. This work shows that products made of Irish lace need to be in line with customers’ needs and tastes, maintaining their authenticity and originality at the same time. Capacity building of new artisans and development of experienced artisans’ skills are considered mechanisms which may foster the activity, although they are not sufficient to guarantee its sustainability. Irish lace shall increase its contribute to family income; in this case geographical indication could play an important role by linking handicraft products to their place of origin – Divina Pastora (Sergipe) – and thus leading to attract more customers interested in the differentiated nature of these products. However, in order to achieve effective results, the cooperation among some institutions with ASDEREN should continue along with public policies focused on strengthening the production of Irish lace within the community and supporting the process of socioeconomic and human development. All of this shall be in accordance with the economist Amartya Sen’s capability approach, empowering people to live their lives the way they wish.
