Resumo O artigo aborda um tradicional grupo de pescadores artesanais do Brasil, os jangadeiros, objetivando compreender como eles constituíram uma cultura de ofício pesqueira marítima, do século XVI até 1970. Combinaram-se, para tanto, a abordagem sócio-histórica (escritos e imagens) e a pesquisa de campo, quando foram entrevistados 12 jangadeiros de alto-mar da praia de São José da Coroa Grande, em Pernambuco. Conclui-se que os jangadeiros representam o encontro de duas tradições (a marítima e a de ofício), que tiveram na sociedade flutuante (a jangada) seu marco existencial e lócus de reprodução sociocultural. Abstract The article approaches a traditional group of artisanal fishermen from Brazil, the rafters, aiming to understand how they constituted a culture of maritime fishing trade, from the sixteenth century until 1970. For that, a socio-historical approach was combined (writings and images) with field research where 12 deep sea rafters from São José da Coroa Grande beach, Pernambuco, were interviewed. It concludes that the rafters represented the encounter of two traditions (the maritime and the profession) that had in a floating society (the raft) its existential landmark and locus of socio-cultural reproduction.
