Material culture of artisanal fishing in the intercultural curriculum of Youth and Adult Education in the Tamatateua community in Bragança- PA

Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the material culture of artisanal fishing in the Intercultural Curriculum of Youth and Adult Education in the Tamatateua community in Bragança-PA. Methodologically, it utilizes the New Cultural History (NHC) approach, employing field research, photographs, and semi-structured interviews with two fishermen. The results indicate that the material culture of artisanal fishing consists of the following tools, namely: the Espinhel; the Musuá; the Tarrafa and fishing nets, which reflect knowledge about the skills and practices of fishermen, their economic and social impacts, and their development in the Amazonian territory. Based on the results, it is a fact that there is a need to integrate local fishing knowledge into the curriculum of Adult Education (EJA), as this represents an opportunity to promote an intercultural education that respects students' experiences, their traditional ways of life, and the preservation of cultural assets derived from the Tamatateua community in Bragança, State of Pará, Brazil.
