Gestão pesqueira e Colonialismo: desterritorialização e r-existências na comunidade pesqueira artesanal da Praia do Siqueira/RJ-Brasil

Abstract

Abstract Colonial domination, established from the 15th century onwards, remains as a founding element of modern western rationality,, acting as invisibly as efficiently in the production of subalternities. In the epistemological dimension, the coloniality of knowledge institutionalizes the role of modern science in the discrimination of knowledge between false and true. Decolonization as an unfinished project, associated with authoritarian fisheries management models, has forged contexts of environmental injustice. As a factual example, we analyze the imposition of a period of suspension of fishing activity in Lagoa de Araruama-RJ, based on the narratives of the artisanal fishing community of Praia do Siqueira, located on its banks. In developing the research, non-extractive/participatory methodologies were used. It is concluded that the imposed calendar intensifies the processes of deterritorialization of the community, however, despite the violence, these spaces are percolated by r-existence practices.
