Dois mares que se juntam e a coletividade que aflora: meio ambiente e identidade caiçara na comunidade da Nova Enseada, Parque Estadual da Ilha do Cardoso-SP

Abstract

The present work intends to tell the story of the Nova Enseda community, formerly the Enseada da Baleia community, which has been undergoing several changes after its re-territorialization, caused by the advance of the sea where they were previously located. Using the Territory analysis category, it is also intended to bring its various uses, including in modernity. The work also exposes the caiçara identity and its collective organization, mainly of women, as the mechanism used by this community to succeed in this relocation, even with the uncertainties regarding environmental regulatory issues that have receded in terms of protection of traditional peoples and communities, as well as their territories and also with regard to the region's own environmental dynamics. The issue of sustainable development is also evident in the study and a brief critical analysis of the subject is proposed. Examples of the results that the community already have in the new area, still loaded with its ancestral symbolisms, but which is also in dialogue with technologies, will also be brought forward.
