Abstract

This article shows the importance of the handicraft industry in the phenomenon of the cultural identity of the peoples taken into account how the anthropological perspective conceptualizes it; the difference found between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary craftsmanship. It also analyzes, briefly, the importance of crafts as part of cultural heritage, the identity of peoples and as economic resources.
The article ends with reference to craftsmanship and its differentiation with crafts, with the exclusive purpose of creating input in order to reflect on the importance of protecting this trading name, to seize it and thus to be able to inherit to the future generations.
The anthropological perspective highlights its interest in approaching this topic which is important for the society, its heritage and cultural value.
