Cartografia social e organização política das comunidades remanescentes de quilombos de Salvaterra, Marajó, Pará, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08) BARGAS, Janine de Kássia Rocha; CARDOSO, Luís Fernando Cardoso e
Before 1988, the demands of Black rural communities were diluted in the agenda of social struggles of wider categories such as rural workers. With the promulgation of the Constitution, the emergence of the term “remaining Quilombo communities” gave rise to a specific set of demands. In this scenario, the role of social scientists in the production of expert reports and academic works became a central aspect in the discussion of perceptions about the term “Quilombo”. Taking this into consideration, we analyze the experience of researchers from the New Social Cartography of the Amazon project (PNCSA, in portuguese) and their social relations with Salvaterra’s Quilombo communities, Marajó Island, Pará, who participated in workshops for the production of maps which resulted in a booklet entitled Quilombolas da Ilha de Marajó: Pará. We aimed at investigating, based on data collection and field research, how the relations between the cartography actors became political tools in the struggle for the latter’s social-territorial rights and their political organizing following the social cartography process. We point out that the social relations between the PNCSA and the Quilombo communities are characterized, on the one hand, as means for questioning the historical forms of disrespect and injustice and as mechanisms of politicizing the Quilombo social movement. On the other hand, as affirmation and academic consolidation of the Project’s research practice.

Local judicial practices in a Quilombola territory in Marajó, Pará, Brazil
(Redfame Publishing, 2021-09) CARDOSO, Luís Fernando Cardoso e; SHIRAISHI NETO, Joaquim
This article analyzes the socio-judicial organization of a Quilombola community in the state of Pará, Brazil. Using a pluralistic judicial systems approach, we seek to understand how Quilombolas define who has local land rights and to what capacity they can use the territory. The analysis was based on ethnographic field research in the community of Bairro Alto, on Marajó island, in Pará state, Brazil. Methods included: participant observation, interviews and questionnaires. The results showed that order in the territory is maintained through local judicial practices constructed during land occupation processes, and later reorganized on the basis of social relationships involving large-scale farmers, ranchers, neighboring Quilombola communities, and the State. Judicial tenets, intrinsic to the community, guide residents’ current land struggles where they are fighting to restore lands expropriated by ranchers that pertain to their original territory. Local legal practices converge with principles of article 68 of the Federal Constitution, making possible the correction of historical injustices related to land struggles in Quilombola communities.

Viver, aprender e trabalhar: habitus e socialização de crianças em uma comunidade de pescadores da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-04) CARDOSO, Luís Fernando Cardoso e; SOUZA, Jaime Luiz Cunha de
The article analyzes Matá, a rural community of the lower Amazon approximately 55 km from the town of Óbidos. Using an ethnographic approach to daily life, the article focuses especially on families involved in fishing activities and the nature of children’s participation. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, the analysis suggests that the activities undertaken by children in the community are not demeaning or exploitative, such as typically associated with the idea of child labor. Rather the inclusion of children in adult work acts as a strategy of socialization and self-reproduction essential for strengthening family ties, constructing distinctions between adulthood and childhood, and learning about the ecosystems of their environment.
