Throughout the History, the practice of these workers has been classified as an unworthy activity to free men, took as a rough and repetitive job that didn'tdeserve any attention over its learning wrongly reduced to the triad: repeat-imitateproduce. These artisans have a singular knowledge of the production process that couldn't be reduced to repetitive or isolated tasks as it happens to many workers nowadays. They are called to make elaborated tasks that refuse the common division of labour understanding, in which manual and intellectual dimensions are took apart. However, these workers aren't immune to the peculiar labour relations of a capitalist and globalized society, otherwise they participate of its contradictions.
