Abstract
This proposal aims to reflect on the fisherman’s way of life in the extreme southeastern Brazil. For decades the socio-anthropology of fishing has cemented the ‘caiçara’ of the southeastern coast and the Amazonian riverine as the identities of the Brazilian fisherman. The different environments, territories and materialities point to a distinct fisherman’s way of life for the South Brazilian coast - between Cabo de Santa Marta, Santa Catarina, and Chuí, Rio Grande do Sul. To this end, an environmental characterization will be presented accompanied by a review of the production of fishery socioanthropology and, finally, the ethnographic works will provide the data for the interpretation of the fisherman’s way of life in the extreme south of Brazil.
