A luta neste remelão : um estudo sobre as práticas produtivas de ribeirinhos da Ilha do Piraim

Abstract

This dissertation constitutes an exercise of anthropological interpretation on the productive practices of a family group of Pantanal riparian dwellers living in Piraim Island, Pantanal, from 1954. Its subsistence economy had to adapt to the new socioeconomic context. obtain some benefits from public policies and also due to the impositions of environmental legislation that reached the Pantanal. I sought to understand the strategies they adopted to stay in their territory and the deep connections with indigenous roots, their worldview related to the rhythm of the waters and the lunar cycle. We have here a group that, despite the losses suffered, was able to maintain the tradition through its ability to turn artisanal fishing to commercial fishing, which has allowed them to remain on their land to this day.
