- Small-scale artisanal fisheries and its networks: the case of Arte Xávega in PortugalPublication . Alves, Fátima; Casaleiro, Paula; Valentim, Cristina Sá; Castro, Paula; Pardal, MiguelThis paper examines the management process of the Arte Xávega related to the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and the Portuguese artisanal fishing regulation. This study looks at a formal normativity and seeks to discern how it is achieved. The methodology is based on the analysis of European and national legal documents collected until 2017 and mobilises a reticular approach, which directs our gaze at the complex interactions guided by contingency and heterogeneity. It is argued that the local governance of the Arte Xávega is a highly wide-ranging and diverse process and simultaneously a local and global one through which diverse types of appropriations and translations occur. Throughout this interconnected process between different actors and scales as they seek to implement policies, the different actors’ interests are re-represented and re-ordered in the national legislation and norms. Considering this perspective, governance of artisanal fishing is highly contested and unpredictable, shaped by tensions, negotiations, and entangled networks crossing national and transnational scales and perceptions.
- Deliverable 2.3: research report on society and naturePublication . Alves, Fátima; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Valentim, Cristina Sá; Guazzini, Andrea; Duradoni, Mirko; Costa, Paulo Manuel; Novelli, Luca; Puttini, SpartacoIn this deliverable “Research Report on Society and Nature” (D2.3) we intend to contribute to three major aspects of the Phoenix project, namely, the understanding of society-nature relations and their construction, the sociocultural influence on the implementation of the European Green Deal, and the methodological approaches to foster green transition in each pilot territory. The deliverable firstly aims to contribute to (1) a broader understanding of how societies and individuals in each pilot territory make sense and produce meanings about their relation with nature and the environment from different socio-cultural backgrounds, as sociocultural constructions; (2) secondly, to understand to what extent different sociocultural constructions of Nature and Environment can condition the implementation of European Green Deal measures and contribute to the ecological transition; and thirdly, (3) based on the social construction of nature and the environment in each pilot territory, provide considerations for the identification of the best methodological approach for deliberative and participatory processes ). This report emphasizes that the successful involvement of people in the ecological transition requires mechanisms of participation that are grounded in fair, inclusive, and plural processes. A transformative policy for ecological transition must deeply understand the biophysical, socio-economic, and cultural characteristics of the territories, requiring transformative processes at both individual and structural levels.
- Viver do mar: caracterização socioeconómica das comunidades piscatórias de arte xávega em PortugalPublication . Alves, Fátima; Casaleiro, Paula; Valentim, Cristina Sá; Neto, Jorge; Castro, Paula; Pardal, Miguel ÂngeloEste artigo visa caracterizar a pesca com arte xávega do ponto de vista socioeconómico. A arte xávega é um método artesanal de pesca praticado em Portugal desde o século XV, tendo conseguido sobreviver até aos dias de hoje. A pesquisa foi feita com recurso a um inquérito por questionário aplicado em 2018 a comunidades piscatórias da arte xávega, em praias das regiões norte, centro e sul de Portugal continental. A partir destes dados, identificam-se perfis sociodemográficos e económicos de pescadores para compreender as diferentes lógicas de relações que estas comunidades mantêm com esta pesca e com o mar, em particular os seus recursos marinhos. Constata-se que as práticas com a arte xávega traduzem configurações sociais, económicas, ambientais e culturais diversificadas e plurais, e mobilizam uma comunidade mais ampla e heterogénea do que aquela que lhe é comummente associada, refletindo diferentes lógicas de relação entre pescadores e ambiente.
