AQUI ESTAMOS ENTRE AS ÁGUAS DOS MARES, ÁGUAS DOS RIOS, NAS TERRAS DE TRABALHO NA PESCA ARTESANAL
Este livro busca mostrar alguns aspectos que compõe o mundo da pesca das mulheres, o qual está repleto de movimento e elementos agentes que não apenas o ser humano. Este mundo se constrói e é construído por relações próximas, afetivas e de respeito entre pescadoras e ventos, luas, mar, marés. A vida na pesca não se trata apenas de uma fonte de renda, mas um de modo de ser e estar no mundo em que se observa a maré, se obedece ao vento, se respeita o mar. Mas há também outros elementos centrais, como embarcações, apetrechos, bandeiras e bicicletas, bichos e animais entes queridos. Segundo as pescadoras, é preciso estar atento a duas atitudes centrais para se continuar vivo na pesca a partir da observação contínua: a distração, que pode acabar com a vida de repente e a concentração, que é o que mantem a vida. É neste exercício continuo que as pescadoras se constituem pescadoras e convivem com este mundo da pesca.

Welch shows how A'uwẽ perspectives on t...
