Based on the theory of spaces socially produced, the reflections of this study are in line with the theme: the relationship city-river in the Amazon developed through of a case study, the waterfront of Marabá city. The goal is to analyze the social production of the space and the territorial conflicts existing in face of recent Amazonian dynamics, taking into account local specificities of the economic, political and symbolic relationship/interaction among different agents with the river. For this, the historical and dialectical materialism was used as theoretical-methodological instrumental and the following procedures methodological of research: a) bibliographic review of relevant themes to the development of this work related to the urban geography and the geography of the Amazon, settled on the theory of the space socially produced; b) bibliographic research about the process historical and geographical of the waterfront and the city of Marabá; c) survey of the primaries and secondaries data and documentary sources of the study area; d) systematic field observation about the cityriver relationship in Marabá, with inventory of the urban landscape (identification, analysis and comparison of the elements) and its spatial, temporal and territorial dynamics; e) application forms based on the relationship among city and rivers in the waterfront; f) recording of individual interviews using semi-structured questions realized with the main agents (government representatives, residents, corporations, traders etc.) present in the waterfront of Marabá. Based on the collected and analyzed data, it was found a residual permanence of the riverine way of life in waterfront of Marabá, in spite of the modernization processes which passes the city. Moreover, the riverine permanence is under a conflictual relationship with agents/groups that understands the waterfront as a predominantly economic space, such as the State, the regional and local businesses, the large businesses, landowners and property developers. This context reinforces the importance of to pay attention to the specificities of the process to how the life is developed in “riverside” Amazon. Enables also to understand the complex, diverse and unequal form which it develops the relationship among cities – complex and contradictory space, use value par excellence – and rivers – an element that defines rhythms, signs, knowledge and socio-spatial urban dynamics in the regional context.

Territórios de uso comum na Amazônia: relação sociedade-natureza e modernização do espaço regional
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-09-28) LIMA, Michel de Melo; TRINDADE JÚNIOR, Saint-Clair Cordeiro da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1762041788112837
Taking as empirical references three cities located in the State of Pará (Tucuruí, Altamira and Marabá) and their respective immediate surroundings, impacted by infrastructure projects (hydroelectric, logistical and tourism projects) directly or indirectly associated with the water use, this doctoral thesis deals with common use territories in the Amazon, focusing on the life spaces and experiences of their subjects. The aim of the work is to analyze, in light of the principle of the commons, the appropriation of collectively used territories in the face of the process of modernization that results from the use of water resources for the purposes of infrastructure projects. It is argued that the process of modernization of space and the “enclosure” of the rivers’ waters and banks, occurred in the three realities in focus, ended up triggering contradictions, insurgencies and conflicts that result in resistances between local and regional social groups of different identities seeking to defend the rivers and other common use territories established by them throughout their history. To undertake the study, the following research methodological procedures were adopted: a) literature review of interdisciplinary critical theories and approaches that provide an understanding of the advance of neoliberal capitalism and the socially produced space in the Amazon in the contemporary period; b) survey and analysis of bibliographical sources on the history and geography of the three empirical realities in focus; c) primary and secondary data collection and analysis in documentary sources concerning the research topic; d) systematic field observation with inventory, comparison and analysis of landscape elements and their spatial and temporal dynamics; e) semi-structured interviews with subjects related to the common use of the territories, as well as with technicians/representatives of the municipal public administration. Based on the collected, systematized and analyzed data, it was found that the common use territories associated with the waters configure important references of life and constitute the spatialities of a significant portion of the regional population. This way, the process of modernization of space in the Amazon, along with the deterritorializations and reterritorializations unleashed through the capitalist use of the rivers and their banks, culminated in mobilizations and in the establishment of solidarities between socio-environmental movements and the various impacted population groups that collectively seek to affirm their sociospatial protagonisms. Such protagonisms are based on the recognition of the use values of their territories, whose protection is raised to the condition of a political principle representative of the urban and rural struggles in the current regional context.
