O açaí como ícone de identidade social, econômica e cultural amazônica: um estudo de caso em Igarapé-Miri
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-21) SANTOS, Cristiano Moreno Valente dos; CORDEIRO, Yvens Eli Martins; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8271393778032215; TAVARES, Francinei Bentes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2305847447719005
The açaí berry, a fruit originating from the Euterpe oleracea palm tree, is a staple in the diet of the Amazon region's populations. With its intense color and distinct flavor, this fruit not only nourishes but also carries with it a rich cultural tradition. Its harvesting and processing involve techniques passed down through generations, making açaí a symbol of identity and belonging for the local communities. Thus, this study focuses on the central role that açaí plays in shaping the social, economic, and cultural identity in the Amazon, using the municipality of IgarapéMiri and the community of Santo Antônio as specific case studies. The relevance of açaí in the local economy, as well as its connections with cultural and social practices, are explored to understand its contributions to Amazonian identity. The research combines qualitative and quantitative approaches, including the analysis of existing studies, landscape analysis, questionnaires, typologies, interviews, and participatory observation. In Igarapé-Miri, observations and visits were made to the complex of fairs and the municipal public market Miguel Tourão Pantoja to understand the commercialization and local population's relationship with the açaí fruit. In the community of Santo Antônio, various data collection and analysis activities were carried out, notably the application of questionnaires to local families, observation, and the categorization of production systems into three distinct types, based on the main sources of income and productive arrangements associated with açaí. Thus, in IgarapéMiri, açaí is not just a product for trade; it is a pillar of local identity, a link that connects generations and perpetuates traditions. In the community of Santo Antônio, it is observed that açaí is intrinsic to daily life and community practices, being the main vector for income source, social cohesion, and the transmission of ancestral knowledge.

Agarrada nos jogos de identidade quilombola: representatividade, conflitos e resistência no Arquipélago do Marajó
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-11-05) SANTOS, Paulo Henrique Santos dos; ZAMPARONI, Valdemir Donizette; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9786959916347562; CARDOSO, Denise Machado; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2685857306168366
This study addresses Agarrada, a traditional wrestling practice featured in the Quilombola Identity Games in the Marajó Archipelago, focusing on the communities of Salvaterra, Pará. The work explores how this practice, beyond its playful and competitive aspects, serves as a space for identity reaffirmation, as well as symbolic and political resistance. Agarrada, deeply integrated into the daily lives of the quilombola people, is analyzed from different perspectives, ranging from its symbolic value to the tensions and narrative disputes surrounding it. The research also investigates the land and territorial conflicts faced by the quilombola communities, relating them to the practice of Agarrada, which becomes a reflection of ongoing political and social struggles. The methodology includes interviews with quilombola leaders, participant observations during the games, and documentary analysis, highlighting the importance of Agarrada not only from a sporting perspective but as a symbol of resistance and community mobilization. The study concludes that the quilombola struggle transcends the realm of physical competition, representing a form of resistance against exclusion and the erasure of the ancestral heritage of Salvaterra's quilombola communities.

Agrobiodiversidade Tentehar na Aldeia Olho D’Água, Maranhão: trajetórias, saberes e práticas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-09-08) FELIX, Neusani Oliveira Ives; BARROS, Flávio Bezerra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4706140805254262; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6155-0511
In this research, I addressed the topic of agrobiodiversity among the Tentehar people of Olho D'Água Village, Bacurizinho Indigenous Land, Maranhão State, Brazil. Agrobiodiversity, in the context of this study, is understood as the part of biodiversity that encompasses agricultural varieties and genetic resources, sociocultural processes, knowledge associated with plants, and animals managed and hunted for food purposes. The methodological approach included participant observation, impression management, collective memory, oral narratives, semi-structured and open interviews with 13 women and 11 men, a questionnaire, and a field notebook. These strategies were crucial for the construction of an attentive and aligned ethnography based on scientific, social, and political dimensions for a successful research conduction starting from a dialogical relationship between the researcher and the interlocutors. The farmers recognize or cultivate an immense and rich set of ethnovarieties of edible crops of all kinds. In the backyard areas, in addition to the cultivars, there is animal husbandry, such as pigs, goats, chickens, guinea fowl, ducks, turkeys, and quails. From the forests, the Tentehar people obtain the game that is so important to their food culture, including armadillo, “peba”, “catingueiro” deer, “mateiro” deer, collared peccaries, agoutis, white-nosed coatis, guans, “juriti”, “lambu”, among others. The relationship between agricultural practices, both in crop fields and backyard areas, game obtained from the forests, and the agrobiodiversity as a whole is part of the debate on food sovereignty and security, giving the Tentehar food culture its unique traits. Agrobiodiversity constitutes the thread that intertwines the relationships of the farmer with the management of crop fields, backyard areas, and game, referring to the sense of trajectories, identity, and authenticity, in which interspecies relations, rules, prohibitions, and restrictions are established. As guardians of agrobiodiversity, the Tentehar farmers resist with their crop fields, cultivating, multiplying, and exchanging seeds with relatives and neighbors. In the backyards, they conduct experiments with animals and plants, producing seedlings of cultivars that circulate among them, in a system of genetic resource conservation, “in situ/on farm”. In hunting practices, ancestral knowledge, the tactics used to capture animals, weapons, traps, and interspecies interactions permeated by the ambivalence between killing game to eat and the fear of reprisal from the “piwáras” (spirits) are present. Therefore, the data from the research indicate that the place of agrobioversity in Tentehar life is the place of resilience and resistance, strongly linked to the material and symbolic reproduction of families, holding great significance in maintaining Tentehar ways of life.

Análise antropológica da socialização das crianças no contexto social das famílias no trajeto do lixo no Aurá
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006) PONTE, Vanderlúcia da Silva; ANTONAZ, Diana; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7547028254641362
This study looks from an anthropological perspective at the socialization of children working the waste dumps of Aurá. The social meaning and representation of waste is used to establish how families seek to socialize their children. Empirical data is used to examine how families pushed by extreme poverty migrate to the urban centers of Pará and how they come to be involved in the waste dumps. The study examines the social networks, perceptions and values which allow families to put their children in situations of juvenile labour and violence (or the reproduction of the social group and its survival).

Análise espacial dos sítios monumentais do leste da Amazônia ocidental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-08-19) BARBOSA, Antonia Damasceno; SCHAAN, Denise Pahl; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9087840228167206
This study aimed to analyze the geometric enclosures located in the eastern state of Acre, using geoprocessing tools and considering environmental and cultural factors that could have influenced the decisions of social groups on the location and morphology of these archaeological sites. The approach of landscape archaeology was used, as well as GIS as an analytical tool. From the survey data of 419 geometric enclosures in eastern Acre State, the research investigated cultural patterns related to the morphology and configuration, location and orientation of sites, using statistical and methods of spatial analysis. The study concluded that patterned building techniques were used in the construction of the enclosures and their location took into account the proximity of water sources, soil types and elevation. Morphological characteristics were associated with the size and location of sites. The survey also found that most of the enclosures was constructed to mark the winter or summer solstice. Considerations were also made on the state of conservation of sites and challenges to the management of this heritage.

“Antes tinha peixe e não tinha essas coisas, agora tem essas coisas e não tem peixe”: considerações sobre a atividade pesqueira artesanal na Vila dos Pescadores, Bragança – Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-09-30) SILVA, Adriana Batista Cecim da; ALENCAR, Edna Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7555559649274791
The present study deals with the artisanal fishing activity carried out on the north Brazilian coast, by residents of Vila dos Pescadores, located in the Marine Extractive Reserve (RESEX Mar) of Caeté-Taperaçú, in the municipality of Bragança - Pará. The research aims to characterize this activity, identifying the types of fisheries, the target species and the impacts that threaten the productive capacity of fishermen and artisanal fisherwomen. For that, I tried to identify the main factors of change and the strategies of continuity of the activity, using as methodology the literature review and the field research with ethnographic techniques from semi-structured interviews with fishermen and public sector agents; collection of secondary data through literature review and documental research, and the use of photographic records of the community's daily activities, fishing work and rituals. Lúcia Helena Cunha (2013) mentions that traditional knowledge and modernity are in a complementary relationship, where both undergo changes and are re-signified. Such resignification is also pointed out by Marshall Sahlins (1997). Thus, the results indicate that the modernization of fishing technologies and the construction of Highway PA 458 are presented as the main factors of change, stimulating overfishing and overfishing that interfere, especially in fisheries carried out in the estuary and close to the beach. This set of factors influences the decrease in harvests, harms the use of traditional fishing technologies and affects sociocultural aspects of the group, such as the practice of sharing fish in the port, called kial, carried out by fishermen when they return from fishing - this fish, before intended only for food, it is now marketed as an alternative source of income. The analyzes indicate that the impacts on artisanal fishing can influence the circularity of ecological knowledge essential to the sustainability of this activity when young people move away from fishing and other people turn to extractive practices as subsistence strategies in order to guarantee food security for families. Some of these actions allow the continuity and resignification of local traditional knowledge that guide the ways of interacting with the environment, but others can negatively affect the mangrove ecosystem and local sociocultural practices. Furthermore, the creation of the Marine RESEX did not prevent predatory fishing and overfishing, due to the weak performance of the State in the implementation of an efficient fisheries management system that delimits the areas of activity of artisanal/commercial and semi-industrial fishing (sometimes operating in an unsustainable way in areas far from the coast using fishing net "apoitada" and/or trawl nets) and are in line with the interests of fishermen and artisanal fisherwomen in the community, based on a dialogic relationship.

Arena pública, dominação e resistência em um território amazônico: o fórum de desenvolvimento sustentável das ilhas de Belém-PA (2006-2020)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-11-24) LOPES, João Luiz da Silva; TEISSERENC, Maria José da Silva Aquino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1799861202638255
This study discusses the way in which island riverside communities in the cities of Belém and Acará, state of Pará-Brazil, mobilized and participated in the Public Arena / Forum of Sustainable Development of the Islands, to claim their rights regarding health, education, sanitation, water supply, public security, electric / solar energy, income generation and overcome its invisibility. To analyze this problem, was adopted as a framework for analysis the sociological approach to collective action by Daniel Cefaï, Veiga and Mota (2011), which privileges the local situations that are at the origin of the constitution of public arenas. The study requires a descriptive qualitative approach in which the collection of information / data was carried out through informal conversation; participant observation in events such as: meetings, deliveries of food baskets, toys and school supplies, visits and collective initiatives; documents research (project, plans, reports and meeting minutes); and open interviews with active people from the island riverside communities, the government, religious institutions, NGOs of research and extension. The results indicate that in a territorial context historically marked by clientelistic socio-political relations, it is reasonable to consider this experience of participation and mobilization as an important event, which constitutes political education, with the necessary learning towards the inclusion of this subordinated segment in the decision-making process regarding public policies of their interest. This mobilization benefited from the essential support of technicians from public agencies, specialists from universities and politicians from the progressive field to encourage the complaint against injustices inherited from colonization, maintained and updated by the domination system, with perverse effects impregnated in the set of relations with the active people of the local power system - what is called coloniality. The mobilization faced resistance from a certain conception that it sees as island riverside communities as backward and doomed to disappear. The strategies of the riverside people have contributed to the politicization of local challenges, but have been limited by several elements, such as the absence of an innovative legal apparatus, disregard for the unequal conditions of participation, the use of inadequate methodologies, the lack of appreciation of the work of translators / mediators, the lack of recognition of the subject's diversity of ontologies, an incomprehension of the different cosmologies and epistemologies, factors that worked as barriers to mobilize and also question the traditional domination system on which local power is based.

For more than 30 years, the island of Cotijuba (Belém - PA) has housed three different institutions (reformatory colony, school and prison) that had as their purpose the education and recovery of the individual to live in society. The architecture of this place is great and it draws attention whenever you arrive at this island. This research makes an initial historical survey of what contexts and motives this school was created in the early 1930s and what led to its closure in the late 1970s. From this, it seeks to understand how the architecture of all this construction was used as another form of control of the inmates and, also, to understand how the discipline materialized and was perpetuated for years in this architecture. To do this, we use the architecture archeology approach to reach the objectives, based on three methodologies in this area: spatial, gamma and alpha analysis. With this, it is possible to answer the main question, which is: how did the discipline materialize in the architecture of the educational Dr. Nogueira de Faria?

The Lagoa Santa region has attracted the attention of many researchers around the world since the 19th century, especially regarding its extensive osteological collection. Since the research carried out by Peter Lund, the interest in aspects such as the health and lifestyle of the Lagoa Santa groups has been growing, resulting in analyses that have contributed to understanding the lives of some of the oldest Paleoamericans in South America. The aim of the present study is to analyze the cross-sectional properties of the femur and humerus of a skeletal sample of Paleoamericans from Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais, and, from this analysis, infer the levels of physical activity of these hunter-gatherers. In total, the Lagoa Santa sample consists of 52 femurs and 44 humeri, all belonging to adult individuals. Computed tomography was used to obtain images of the internal structure of the bones, without causing any damage to the bones. The analyses were performed using the ImageJ program and generated data regarding the variables TA, CA, Ix, Iy, Imax, Imin, Zx, Zy, Zp and J. In addition, groups of hunter-gatherers and farmers from 11 world regions were selected to compose a comparative sample. The results demonstrated that Lagoa Santa presents a high activity of the lower limbs, similar to other hunter-gatherers, with the results for the upper limb decreasing high asymmetry and sexual dimorphism. Therefore, the physical activity patterns observed in Lagoa Santa are aligned with those of hunter-gatherers and show bone adaptations that reflect a physically active life, while the use of the upper limbs suggests a difference in the activities performed by male and female groups.

Autonomia e sustentabilidade indígena: entraves e desafios das políticas públicas indigenistas no estado do Pará entre 1988 e 2008
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-11-05) GONÇALVES, Rosiane Ferreira; SIMONIAN, Ligia Terezinha Lopes; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4781352Y2
This study examines the relationship between State and indian people in the Amazonia, focusing specifically designed indigenous public policies projected in the national level since 1988 and executed in the state of Pará. The Brazilian Constitution of 1988 provides a legal framework for the new interface established between the State and indian people, characterized by respect and recognition of several ethnic, linguistic, historical and sociocultural as well as the rights to their lands and resources within it. This study had aimed to examine how (and if) the indigenous publics policies developed and implemented since 1988 in Pará state guarantee (or not) the autonomy and economic sustainability, environmental and socio-cultural of indian peoples involved in them, has been developed building on the theoretical and methodological principles of anthropology, from an interdisciplinary perspective, with a temporal cut from 1988 to 2008, for indigenous publics policies analysis. Was held, also, field research to collect indian experiences and indigenous involving the ethnicities Tembé, Asurini of Trocará and Gavião Parkatêjê and Kyikatêjê, in the state of Pará. The study showed that indigenous public policies are "sprayed" in several agencies of the federal, state and municipal levels, revealing a complex network of actors and services, which, sometimes, overlap without providing the necessary integration. There is a strong tendency towards outsourcing of indigenous services, with the introduction of companies and NGO in their implementation. This has led it in a certain confusion to the indians when trigger the need for public services and have the satisfaction of their rights. The discourse of the construction of indian autonomy and sustainability has increased both among government sectors, as in the indian, which have, even appropriate to design their perspective of environment. The Indians people also have increased their participation in decision making processes involving the construction and operation of public policies. However, the effectiveness of such policies is still very tenuous. The indians´s realities studied show that much still needs to be done to ensure a sustainable and autonomous development for indian people.

Aventura espiritual: terapêutica na irmandade dos alcoólicos anônimos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-03-07) PAES, Anselmo do Amaral; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; ttp://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048
The purpose of this work is to understand the therapeutic process called “recovery” in Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) at Belém, Pará. This group presents itself as a “brotherhood”, which seeks to welcome those it considers carriers of a disease, of physical and spiritual nature, the alcoholism, offering them support to achieve the so-called “sobriety”. The transition from a life full of misfortunes to a happy and useful one, in their conception, is possible through practicing principles of conduct, considered to be spirituals, which substitute the alcohol addiction for the addiction to the so-called “Higher Power”. Therefore, “recovery” in AA refers to the therapeutic process to which the participants of the Brotherhood are submitted and, in this sense, to a process to be administrated for the whole life through participating in the group. When an AA member affirms “to have recovered” or “to be in recovery”, it wants to communicate not only that it no longer ingests alcoholic beverages, but also that it participates in the Brotherhood, following the precepts as recommended. In this way, it is truly “sober”. This work found that personal “recovering” means more that not ingesting alcoholic beverages, because it entails sharing with the other AA members the institutional views on categories related to reality (health, work, family, sexuality and spirituality), accepting AA as a “way of life”.

This work is an anthropological analysis starting from the relationship author/text of the literature said fictional, taking in consideration the author's course and of the work in the social field, what could be confused with a study of literary critic, of more sociological complexion. This last one could take us to, for instance, a study of literary genders, analysis of the use of the literary language, and their uses inside of a certain social-historical moment. However, all those shades don't get to break with the vision of the literature that leaves of the creative individuality, taking us to a naive apprehension of the literary text. We will use the literary text as one more instrument of which the man makes use to try to understand their time. Placing the literary text starting from the characteristics that ratify the bookkeeping of a literary text in its time-space.

This dissertation presents an ethnographic study about the reunion of knowledge and cultural practices of the agroextractivists from Mapua Extractivist Reservation in Marajó Island, Pará State, Brazil. The principal aim was to describe and analyze the knowledge concerning traditional medicine, focusing on the medicinal uses of faunistic local resources. Participant observation and semi-structured interviews were the main methods used. The research documented the medical uses of 59 species of animals, as well the distinct categories of medical fauna attribution, such as remedies for physical diseases, spiritual diseases, and for hunters. We also discussed the symbolic attributions of the fauna, which is demonstrated as typically Amazonian worldview that appears indistinctly between the domains of nature and culture. The results present more than list of “animals” and their respective uses in local healing, but a rich biocultural patrimony involving social life, the natural world and cosmological life governed by the same categories. The present work highlights the importance of documenting the forest folk wisdom, regarding strategies to solve health problems based on the access to animals useful to humans.

The present work is a study on the travestytis that live of prostitution in the streets of Belem, state of Para, Brazil. The venal activity that guarantees the sustenance to them admittedly is practiced in the avenues Almirante Barroso and Assis de Vasconcelos, located respectively in the Marco and the Campina’s boroughs. These public ways function as two important corridors of traffic of vehicles of the city, being therefore ideal to trottoir them. The empirical data collected through interviews and field notes had served to the intention of knowing the reality where these professionals of the sex live, which consolidates as hypothesis the idea that their androgynous appearance turns them citizens socio-devaluated with direct implications in their citizenship. It is revealing in this direction, the lack of public politics to this social segment in a way that they fit in the homosexuality concept, especially while a more generic category to explain the desire and the love among people of the same sex. Both in national and local levels, it is possible to verify attempts of implementation of public politics in the form of antidiscriminatory laws that aim not only to benefit gays, but also to the lesbians and travestytis, however these social categoris have been target of resistances of contrary parliamentarians to the advance of the citizenship of these citizens. Among others things, it was evidenced in this direction that the construction of the citizenship for the travestytis in the city is dependent of the performance of the Homosexual Movement of Belem (HMB) in the political mobilization towards rights, as they are not organized such as occurs in other Brazilian capitals. Therefore, one understands that there is a lot to advance regarding social and civil guarantees, so these androgynous citizens, popularly known as "dolls", in fact and through right can become citizens.

This dissertation explores the lives of clandestine Brazilian migrants who seek socioeconomic opportunities in French Guyana. The migrants’ discourse is used as a platform to reflect on the field of social representations in this context as well as the meaning of cohabitation in a pluriethnic and multicultural society where social subjects construct their identities from knowledge--without necessarily knowing one another--and difference. This ethnography, then, focuses on economic, social, and identitarian aspects of Brazilian mobility, and aims to analyze the experience of undocumented workers, the obstacles they face, and the strategies they deploy to move in the city and obtain work, food, accommodation, etc. This study builds upon fieldwork undertaken with Brazilian migration networks between the Brazilian border at the city Oiapoque and the police control leading to Cayenne.

A Braz é (e) quem ‘a faz’: paisagens de poder, experiências e apropriações na avenida Braz de Aguiar, em Belém (PA), Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-03-31) OLIVEIRA, Enderson Geraldo de Souza; SILVEIRA, Flávio Leonel Abreu da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1972975269922101
In this research, I observe some subjects' experiences on Avenida Braz de Aguiar, in the neighborhood of Nazaré, which is considered destined for the middle bands of Belém do Pará, Amazon. Taking into account that landscapes are procedural constructions (SANSOT, 1983; SILVEIRA, 2004; ECKERT, 2009; ECKERT and ROCHA, 2013), I paid attention mainly to the establishment of “power landscapes” (ZUKIN, 1996), which are attractions and / or are consistent with the subjects' practices. Such powers, especially the economic one, are expressed by habitus (BOURDIEU, 1983), perceptible throughout Ethnography of Street (ECKERT and ROCHA, 2013) and Ethnography of Duration (ECKERT and ROCHA, 2013). At the street, services were and still are aimed for financially privileged layer of the city, with greater purchasing power and status, something fundamental in building and maintaining a certain “distinction” in the context of Belen. Braz, then, becomes a “socially hierarchical geographic space” (BOURDIEU, 2007), in which leisure (VEBLEN, 1965) seems to be more achievable, but not for everyone. Together, this points out to the establishment of specific processes of sociability and sociation (SIMMEL, 1983) in the urban world of Belen, in which it is also necessary to discuss the “aristocratic” way in which some individuals adhere/(re)create such contemporary urban physiognomy and how the avenue is referred to and represented on social media.
