| Summary: | At the intersection of the anthropology of religion, technique and exchange, this article examines the socio-historical conditions of the emergence (during the first half of the 20th century) and the durability of a local sanctification in a coastal town in the Nordeste region, where most of the inhabitants earn their living from artisanal coastal fishing. On the basis of a long-term ethnographic enquiry and narratives collected on the life and translation of the local saint, the social characteristics of the characters they mobilize and the places they refer to, it analyzes the relations between the modalities of technical production and exchange of halieutic resources, and this hagiographic myth in order to identify its spatial and temporal dimensions. By comparing the sequences of the legendary story and the places where it takes place as living environments, places of extraction and/or exchange of « resources », the saint appears as a redistributive figure in contrast to two emblematic figures of resource capture. More largely, the article also deals with the construction of the relationship between a social group and a place. |
