Percepções sobre comunidades tradicionais: o ser litorâneo e a dinâmica social na comunidade de Caetanos de Cima - CE

Abstract

The present work analyzes the community of Caetanos de Cima through its traditional social and economic practices. In order to achieve it, fieldwork was carried out for the locality and dialogues were established with members of the community in order to understand their ways of life and the dynamics that take place there. The results of these experiences, added by the bibliography used, resulted in analyzes of different aspects of the community, such as: the role of women, cultural groups, community tourism, for example. The community considers that the main problem they face is real estate speculation. The inhabitants of Caetanos de Cima seek to maintain articulations in order to guarantee territorial sovereignty, but the threat and real estate pressure are constant. The land represents housing, food and leisure, therefore, their existences are directly linked to it.
