Abstract

This essay analyzes, from an anthropological perspective, the world of fishing in Manfredonia, a seaside city in Southern Italy. In particular, it focuses on the changes that have interested the forms and modalities of the fishing activity, with specific regards to its economic and productive aspects and the related technical knowledge. Based on ethnographic data collected during a research carried out from 2006 to 2009, this article reflects on the productive system (characterized by the phenomenon of hysteresis, that is the fission between traditional habitus and the contemporary practice field), on the commercialization process (based on the fish auction), and lastly on the various prejudices that surround the fishermen’s community and the culture of fishing.
