Os impactos dos movimentos sociais em comunidades pesqueiras: o caso da vila de Marudá

Abstract

With the development of research in the Village of Marudá, Marapanim, Northeast Pará, since 1996, specifically with the migrants from Bragantino settled in this region, it was noticed that this contingent and the fishermen population in general do not feel represented as professionals by the Fishermen's Colony - the official representative body of the fishing class. This problem became a personal and academic concern, thus giving rise to a study that would rescue the role of the fishermen's unofficial representation, originating in social movements, with the objective of investigating their actions and the impacts they cause on this fishing community, directing the "look" towards the Pastoral Fishing Council (CPP) and the National Movement of Fishermen (MONAPE). The aim is to describe the management indicators of these movements with regard to attending, advising and discussing the social demands necessary for the development of fishing activities in the region, and especially to evaluate their impact on the process of social and political organization of the fishermen in the fishing village of Marudá. The specific objectives are: 1) to identify which actions were elaborated by CPP and MONAPE to the fishing community of Marudá; 2) to identify which were the impacts of these proposals in the productive system of the fishery and in the social organization of the fishermen. The methodological procedures are based on documental research in the MONAPE and CPP collections; direct observation and interviews with fishermen and local leaders. Finally, in addition to the objectives mentioned above, this study aims to subsidize the project "Subsistence Strategies of the Amazon River and Lake Populations", part of the "RENAS" Program (Natural Resources and Anthropology of Maritime, River and Lake Populations of the Amazon: Study of the Relations between Man and his Environment) of the Emílio Goeldi Museum of Pará.
