As transformações na vida cotidiana dos Pescadores Artesanais da Vila Nova a partir da chegada do Estaleiro EBR em São José do Norte - RS.

Abstract

The State of Rio Grande do Sul located in the extreme South of Brazil holds in this period the Polo Naval and Offshore of Rio Grande and surrounding. The expansion of this sector in the region implies in needs for areas in hold of the Superintendência do Porto de Rio Grande (SUPRG) attending to the federal and local government´s conceptions of space. The demanded area for the port´s project is an extension of land by the side of the Pato´s Lagoon estuary that represent the housing of various communities which formations are linked to artisanal fishing activity. This work focuses on the transformation of everyday life of the artisanal fishermen of Vila Nova that have suffered compulsory displacement by indenizatory payments for the construction of the Shipyard EBR that is part of the Polo Naval in São José do Norte. A total of eleven focalized interviews that counted on the participation of fourteen fishermen were realized between the period of January 19 and 21 in 2016. The present analyses on everyday life has the contribution of the theories of Henri Lefebvre, Agnes Heller, José de Souza Martins, Michel de Certeau and John C. Scott. The building of the EBR Shipyard represented a disruption on the lived space of the Vila Nova´s fishermen due to the imposition of conceptualized space represented by the naval activity in the Pato´s Lagoon estuary. Thereby, the transformations on this group´s everyday life indicates that the bet on economic growth by the implementation of big-dimensioned projects in regions considered economically decadent suffocates the development of certain ways of living experienced by this specific group. This process represents a disrespect to difference, to the diversity of ways of living through the imposition of a new productive arrangement in a traditional fishing territory. However, there is always a path to the possibility of new horizons, new ways the new everyday life of the artisanal fishermen presents elements of resistance. In a subtle way the fishermen don´t accept what has been imposed and transform their reality by different practices that guarantee their social reproduction. These practices are made in the spaces of the possible, the spaces of possibility of development against a scenario not favorable to the fishermen and fisherwomen.
