O mundo costeiro: temporalidades, territorialidades, saberes e alternatividades

Abstract

This article aims to configure, in general terms, the temporal and territorial dimensions of the coastal world by focusing on its main subject - the artisanal fisherman. Based on the knowledge and patrimonial practices of the coastal fishermen within their time rhythms we discuss the role of the dialog between tradition and modernity, in new historical syntheses, as alternatives – germinally formulated – to the exogenous threats that these social subjects are suffering in a time and a space that tend to disfigure their traditional way of life. In addition, we propose the dialogism between the sciences of the tradition and the modern sciences based on the paradigm of complexity for the construction of new contributions asa means to shared management of the coastal environment and their resources, anchored to the sustainability ethics, and placing the coastal societies on a new historical level.
