Estado, economia e território: o entreposto federal e as metamorfoses dos circuitos espaciais da pesca na cidade do Rio de Janeiro (1941-1991)

Abstract

The present thesis analyzed the metamorphoses of the spatial circuits of fishing from the creation of the Armazém Federal de Pesca installed at square XV in Rio de Janeiro. The analytical path taken was to understand the institutional innovations materialized in the national territory initiated in the Getúlio Vargas government until 1991, the year of deactivation of the Entreposto. The different norms and institutions initiated in the Vargas period, continued and deepened in the following years, were approached in order to understand the process of modernization and promotion of the new productive organizations that emerged. The changes in the levels of capital, organization and work in the productive organizations of fishing were reflected as a way of understanding the spatial circuits of fishing, as well as the circuits of the urban economy in Rio de Janeiro. Likewise, throughout the period under review, we sought to unveil the different urban intervention projects in the built environment that transformed the center of Rio de Janeiro from the highwayism to the conservation of historic buildings. The research showed, based on diversified sources, that the metamorphoses of the spatial circuits of fishing production went through the policy of creating public facilities that would guarantee the control, inspection, storage and processing of fish. Likewise, due to the increase in fish exceeding the warehouse limit, the expansion of the built environment and the new projects and urban arrangements in the city of Rio de Janeiro were fundamental factors for the deactivation of the Federal Market fish.
