Em tempos de mudança - dinâmicas de reprodução social entre um grupo de vendedoras de invertebrados no Mercado dos Pescadores na Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

The present research analyses social reproduction dynamics among clam retailers at the fishermen's market at costa do sol beach. on that beach and the approach of Da Silva (2013) Almeida and Jardim (2018) that attributes the metamorphoses of the coastal environment, to human actions. This analysis was made taking into account the new environmental conditions imposed by the transformations caused by the disordered and excessive exploitation of resources that caused the disappearance of clams.The scarcity of marine invertebrates and the disappearance of clams in particular The scarcity of marine invertebrates, and the disappearance of clams in particular, has brought about changes in their environment that have made it impossible to continue catching clams, and as a means of adaptation, the participants of the study decided to abandon the and became seafood vendors at the Mercado dos Pescadores. For the construction of the argument I relied on three theories, namely: Cultural Dynamics by Bernardo Bernardi (2007), the Cultural Ecology of Julian Steward and the Process Ecology (Neves 2002). The first one argues that culture is dynamic and susceptible to changes and transformations of some of its elements or the culture as a whole. Cultural Ecology argues that the Cultural Ecology argues that the environment functions as a generator of culture and Processual Ecology examines the Ecology examines the relationship between environment and production systems by looking at population responses and adaptive strategies. Specifically, in the face of environmental events or environmental problems. (TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
