ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the association between knowledge and practice that takes place when young peasants participate in productive agricultural activities in the countryside as part of family reproduction. The concepts of practical knowledge, common sense and practical sense have been used in social science from phenomenology to Marxist theory and cultural sociology and anthropology, to refer to ordinary understanding. The concept of enskilled translations refers to the verbalizations young generations make about their experiences related to nature. When young peasants connect technical jargon or everyday terminology with sensitive experiences, they are able to construct explicit knowledge about the environment that results from learning by doing. Enskilled translations are the live metaphors used and derived from the structural position of subjects. But awareness of translations in relation to such conditions involves the possibility of creating a situation out of the game through dialogue that inevitably includes the incompleteness of translation derived from embodied experience.
