Forging links with the thread of wool, from the sheep's back to the shepherd's back. Production, processing and use of wool among the Tushes of Georgia. In the life of the Tushes, wool is omnipresent although sometimes discreet. As a mediator, and even as an operator of attachments to places, wool appears literally and figuratively as a thread that makes it possible to weave links between people and places that are far from each other and as a framework for approaching the history of the Tushes between the 20th and 21st centuries. It is an element that is both insignificant and absolutely central, whose production cycle summarizes and connects places, temporalities and the actors that participate in Tushu social life–animals, tourists, international funders, the national park. By following the wool, from the backs of the sheep to the backs of the shepherds, via the women’s workshops, I propose here to approach Tushe society through practices and their materiality: from the difficulty of shearing to the strength involved in felting, via the wearing of rough vests.
