Maria das Graças Meirelles Correia | 39-54
Abstract: The artisanal fishing carried out by the populations of Todos os Santos Bay is an activity besides being an economic activity, it is configured as an important element of socio-cultural aggregation. Since colonial times, the populations living on the banks of the BTS have served as a source of inspiration for the most diverse artists, especially the production of contemporary Bahian literature. This article, therefore, focuses on the modes of representation of the BTS space in which the practices of artisanal fishing are reflected, in order to reflect with the novel “Viva o povo brasileiro”, the author uses discursive strategies to make visible the contributions of this population contingent to the formation of national identity. The study highlights, therefore, representation of fishing practices as a discursive strategy to fix the socio-cultural space of fishing, invalidated by other as consolidated and hegemonic discourses.
KEYWORDS: Spatial representation; Bahian literature; Artisanal fishing; Literary representation; Viva o povo brasileiro.
