DINING TABLE AS A MEMORY PLACE
This article relates a simple object that serves as a support for daily meals at the dining table and how it can enter a socio-cultural context. Eating is a human need, because without food, there is no life expectancy. It is a human custom to get together to eat, since the dawn of human civilization. This meeting can generate countless results, from a family caress to cultural construction. Not to mention that sitting at the dinner table is a social phenomenon, understood by stages, from nutrition to the one in which individuals build memories together, with those who undergo the same situation. The symbology of a dining table is more than just an object that you have in a corner of the room so that you can support the food to be consumed.

Abstract:
This article relates a simple object that serves as a support for daily meals at the dining table and how it can enter a socio-cultural context. Eating is a human need, because without food, there is no life expectancy. It is a human custom to get together to eat, since the dawn of human civilization. This meeting can generate countless results, from a family caress to cultural construction. Not to mention that sitting at the dinner table is a social phenomenon, understood by stages, from nutrition to the one in which individuals build memories together, with those who undergo the same situation. The symbology of a dining table is more than just an object that you have in a corner of the room so that you can support the food to be consumed.
