Abstract:

The peoples of the sea are culturally differentiated by their way of life intertwined with sea fishing and with all their social and symbolic production. In northeastern Brazil, these populations have been undergoing changes in their living conditions. The Family Health Strategy (ESF) needs to strengthen links with different cultures to meet its basic principles. We aim to reflect on the challenges of the ESF in the context of the peoples of the sea. We conducted an ethnographic research in the community of Redonda, Icapuí - Ceará, using dense descriptions constructed through the narratives of artisanal fishermen and their families. We analyzedthe theoretical approach of studies in traditional communities. The results are presented in five themes: 1) in communities made up of relatives, the family has an extended dimension; 2) the temporalities of life in fishing govern the common acts of the land-sea dyad; 3) the displacements between being “native” and being “from outside” create border areas that dialogue with the rituals of belonging; 4) the territorialization of the sea and the knowledge of experience; 5) ESF in the arenas of struggles for environmental justice. Here, the production of health is reaffirmed as a production of the life of the peoples of the sea.
