Sumario:By reviewing the theoretical contributions of authors such as José de Souza Martins and João Pacheco de Oliveira, we present a brief inventory of notions, concepts and epistemological categories that are considered useful for the clearance of our research proposal. Therefore, this research leans on Oral History to study the succession of three generations of owners of a “factory” of stringed musical instruments located in the interior of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The notions and concepts sought invariably point to the need of adopting in Social Sciences research a methodological approach which carries a more general notion of “liminality”, whose nuances are explained by the authors when facing issues concerning the theory of boundaries. From such explanations, we start analyzing the anthropological research carried out by Rainer Miranda Brito about the current activities of the aforementioned factory, highlighting the difficulties of terminological allocation in the face of current market criteria, which leads the author of this text to also understand it as a possible case of “liminality”.
