The goal of this article is to examine how the confluence of the oil disaster and the new coronavirus pandemic had a negative impact on the work and livelihood of artisanal fishing communities in Pernambuco within a short span of time. Eighty people were interviewed (60 of them fishers) along the entire coastline of Pernambuco from October 2019 to February 2020, and through remote surveys from March to April 2020. The category “work culture” and its idea of experience as defined by E.P Thompson forms the basis of our analysis. Our results show that these two tragedies (the oil crisis – felt most strongly from October 2019 to January 2020 – and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that began in March 2020) presented formidable challenges towards the reproduction of the work culture that is produced by artisanal fishers in Pernambuco. This is seen in the experiences that were lived and told by the same Brazilians who currently reside in these fishing communities.

“生活正在失去意义”：巴西伯南布哥州石油灾难和 COVID-19 疫情期间渔业社区的经历


本文的目的是研究石油灾难和新冠病毒大流行的结合如何在短时间内对伯南布哥州手工捕鱼社区的工作和生计产生负面影响。 2019 年 10 月至 2020 年 2 月期间，我们对伯南布哥州整个海岸线的 80 人（其中 60 名渔民）进行了采访，并于 2020 年 3 月至 4 月进行了远程调查。EP Thompson 定义的“工作文化”类别及其体验理念形成了我们分析的基础。我们的研究结果表明，这两场悲剧（石油危机——2019 年 10 月至 2020 年 1 月感受最强烈——以及 2020 年 3 月开始的持续冠状病毒大流行）对手工渔民创造的工作文化的再现提出了巨大的挑战。伯南布哥州。这可以从目前居住在这些渔业社区的巴西人的生活和讲述的经历中看出。
