“Con le seppie e con i polpi ti daremo tutto, oh Oceano!” Nell’ecologia politica dell’arcipelago di Kerkena, un’etnografia tra spazi e corpi in relazione.

This thesis explores the interconnections between marine and terrestrial ecologies in the Tunisian archipelago of Kerkennah, through an ethnographic approach focused on fishing practices, irregularized migration, and extractive processes. Based on fieldwork carried out mainly at sea, alongside local fishermen, and then on land, the research investigates how these elements intertwine in everyday life as well as in broader regional and global political geographies. The analysis is structured in four parts: positioning and methodology; geopolitical and environmental context; ethnographic experiences related to the sea, coexistence, and resistance; and a photographic section that complements the written narrative by offering a different perspective. The aim is to shed light on the ecopolitical dynamics that emerge from the entanglement of human and more-than-human relations, local histories, and transnational forces, while deconstructing rigid dichotomies between land and sea, method and narrative.
