A doença do petróleo: extração petroleira na comunidade achuar nuevo Jerusalén no rio corrientes na Amazõnia Peruana
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-05-11) PALACIOS, Cynthia Cárdenas; LÓPEZ-GARCÉS, Claudia Leonor; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5655397771707702; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9550-0152
In the Northern Peruvian Amazon, near the border with Ecuador lives the Achuar people. More than forty years ago this indigenous group coexists with oil extraction, product of concession policies for the exploitation of hydrocarbons promoted throughout the Amazon by several governments. This research looks into the perceptions, actions and dynamics of the Achuar of the community of Nuevo Jerusalem, whose territory is superimposed by Lot 192. Based on the particular experiences of leaders and some community members, especially young girls and boys, I study the way in which the Achuar perceive and build their relationship with their territory. This approach privileges the point of view of the Achuar themselves. I argue that despite the changes in their territory, mainly due to environmental and social pollution, poor implementation of extractive oil activities and poor environmental regulations, the relationship that this indigenous group establishes with its territory is strong, and bounded both by their epistemology and oil extraction. I study the way in which the Achuar learn to relate to their territory, a territory that is inhabited by other beings besides humans and that can no longer offer them everything necessary to guarantee their livelihood.

“Em todo tempo mulher foi tapete”: a escrevivência de um corpo rebarbado sobre as relações assimétricas de gênero na Assembleia de Deus em Boa Esperança - PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-19) COSTA, Thaís de Oliveira; BUENO, Michele Escoura; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3126701924384242
This text summarizes part of the results of the research I have been developing since 2018 and focuses on discussions regarding women's leadership in the evangelical church Assembly of God. The institution, founded in 1911, in Belém do Pará, over the years spread to other states outside the Amazon of Pará and is currently present in all Brazilian states. Starting from a colonialist bias, the church built its hierarchy on the sacralization of gender inequality, reserving subservient roles for women, especially black women, and not allowing them to ascend in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. This factor endorses the androcentric stance of the church which, in its 110 years of founding, never consecrated women to positions of ecclesiastical leadership, even though it had a woman as a pioneer in the founding of the church and a majority black female audience. Seeking to develop writing skills, as proposed by Conceição Evaristo, I defined as an “ethnographic research field” the Christian community of which I am a “deviant member”, whose headquarters are in Boa Esperança, in the rural area of the municipality of Santarém, in the west of Pará. More specifically, the work developed through dialogue between the researcher and the members of the Prayer Circle. In short, this text is about how the structures of oppression that act on women's bodies and their subjectivities operate within the church.

Entre Quilombos: circuitos de Festas de Santo e a construção de alianças políticas entre as Comunidades Quilombolas de Salvaterra - Marajó - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-09-26) LIMA FILHO, Petrônio Medeiros; CARDOSO, Luis Fernando Cardoso e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9240601863315295; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9384-1498
This study is an interpretation of the associations involving holy parties and political alliances between maroon communities located in the municipality of Salvaterra - Marajó - Para, based on ethnographic research conducted in maroon community of Bacabal. These maroon communities are: Salvá, Mangueiras, Caldeirão, Bairro Alto, Pau Furado, Bacabal, Santa Luzia, Providencia, Deus Ajude, São Benedito da Ponta, Siricari, Boa Vista, Paixão, União/Campina and Rosário they have in common besides conducting and participating in some of the other parties, also the fact they are the same self-defined remaining quilombo communities and are fighting for recognition and titling of their territories. To interpret the relationships between parties and political alliances, the study takes the gift paradigm or paradigm of the alliance and the association proposed by Alain Caille (2002) as the main theoretical framework. The parties in this study are interpreted as gifts that move between communities to create stronger bonds, bonds of trust and loyalty, and political alliances between them.

‘Esquinas” virtuais, “Garotas” nem tanto: um estudo sobre intercâmbios sexuais e econômicos negociados em plataformas digitais
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-04-08) SALES, Jennefer Portela de; GONÇALVES, Telma Amaral; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7335593537033167; MOTTA-MAUÉS, Maria Angelica; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7861116876230464
This research proposes to identify and analyze the affective-sexual and economic exchanges, as well as the experiences and strategies of women from Belém to transit in the virtual space of the sex market, widely affected by communicational transformations, driven by the internet. In view of this, the theoretical-methodological contributions used were, among others, the following: Donna Haraway, Adriana Pisciteli, José Olivar, Elizabeth Bernstein and Pierre Lévy. Methodologically, it is based on the observation of 467 advertisements displayed on digital platforms (F, G, N and S), used as “corners”. To this end, the rules and policy of use, the typification of services available, such as the profiles of advertisers, were observed during the period from January 2020 to July 2021. It is also supported by the ethnographic meeting with three cisgender women aged between 24 and 35 years, residing in the city of Belém do Pará, residents of the so-called “periphery”, with complete higher education, unemployed, or who experience their training profession in a precarious way, from December 2018 to September of 2020. The data indicate that the financial factor and the search for social ascension, are propellers for entering prostitution, as a temporary movement, which guarantees investment in professional qualification and the cost of their basic expenses, which is facilitated by the platforms where they publish their profiles, which present themselves as environments in which sexual services are negotiated. The research also shows how much the use of information technologies and internet access impacts even on sexual exchanges, affecting the way in which services are offered and which services are sought, allowing advertisers autonomy, convenience, security and discretion. In the provision of services. It is concluded that there is a continuum of permanence and reconfigurations in affective-sexual and economic exchanges negotiated in what I call “virtual corners”.

Estratégias de permanência de indígenas estudantes na Universidade Federal do Pará: desafios e resistência
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-23) ARAYA, Ignacio Gabriel San Martin; CAÑETE, Voyner Ravena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9961199993740323; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8528-3086
The Federal University of Pará/UFPA UFPA is known as one of the public institutions that receives the most indigenous and quilombola students through the Special Selection Process- IQ. However, although it is recognized as one of the pioneers in reserving vacancies for indigenous students, according to the report presented at the IQ Seminar, a significant number of dropouts are observed in the courses. Therefore, this dissertation aims to identify and describe the resistance strategies for the permanence of indigenous students at UFPA. To achieve this objective, during the field research, between 2021 and 2023, the theoretical and methodological assumptions of multisited and digital ethnography, visual anthropology, and biographical approach were used. This research presents the narratives of life trajectory and struggle of indigenous students, as well as the tools created from the pressure exerted by these students. As conclusions, it is concluded that although the university reserves vacancies for indigenous students at UFPA, there is still a long way to go to combat the existing racism in the institution, as well as to improve and expand policies for the permanence of indigenous people in the university. Challenges faced by them were observed, such as adaptation to academic writing, change of city and quality of life, as well as facing racism. This research concludes by pointing out two issues: first, the processes of transformation in the university are due to pressures exerted by the indigenous students themselves, who are part of the Association of Indigenous Peoples Students of the Federal University of Pará, as well as actions taken in conjunction with professors; in this sense, UFPA needs to create an effective institutional policy against the evasion of indigenous students, through the expansion of the number of permanent assistance and housing scholarships, for example.

A festa de São Pedro na Vila de Joanes, Ilha de Marajó, Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08-26) RAVAGNANI, Luis Ricardo; SILVEIRA, Flávio Leonel Abreu da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1972975269922101
The Joanes Village is a fishing village in the municipality of Salvaterra, in Marajó Island (PA). Historically it was an indian village and then a religious and military settlement gained importance and prominence in the local economy as a Real Fishing. The town has the historic site PA-JO-46, which consists of the ruins of the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and wells of the colonial period marking the changes in time. Fishermen stand out as a craft group recognized and valued in the village for the economy that moves through them and the culture they share. In this work the look was focused on the "Feast of St. Peter" or "party of fishermen", as it constitutes a means of representation and sociability of the group of fishermen. Through ethnographic method tried to describe the different rituals that make up the party and understand the sociability of relations established between organizers and participants. I believe that the party is an important experience in people's lives and social groups and that through it we can understand and explain the various dimensions of society: politics, religion, kinship, work, leisure and economics, like “total social fact” (MAUSS, 1974).

The present work is a study on popular Catholicism stands in Belém - Pará, it is an exercise of analyzing elements of the social imaginary of the devotees of the Virgin of Nazaré from the elements observed in the narratives of miracles that take the form of testimonies, of which are takes a hermeneutical approach. The research field, that is, the Casa de Plácido, was built around actions that characterizes the dynamics of the testimonies, that is, narratives of pilgrimages, healings, graces and miracles. The assumption is that testimonies of miracles are part of a social process, of a religious view of the world that helps to configure and understand the local culture. For this reason, the theoretical instrument chosen for this analysis is the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur's testimony, which is a theory to interpret as the testimony of a religious nature and its social meanings expressed in the testimonial narratives of the devotees.

Guardiães de saberes quilombolas da Amazônia brasileira: relações entre mulheres, território, memórias e plantas no Médio Itacuruçá
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-12-17) CARVALHO, Silviane Couto de; CARDOSO, Denise Machado; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2685857306168366
This dissertation focuses on studying the relationships that women from the quilombola community Igarapé São João in Médio Itacuruçá establish with the plants and herbs they cultivate. I turn to the knowledge, practices and worldviews historically arising from the management and cultivation of a diversity of plant species and fruit trees, medicinal herbs, roots, tree bark, vegetables and greens. Production that promotes the local and municipal economy, in addition to being a source of food supply and different forms of use by families in this community. The place of study where I carried out the ethnographic research is the riverside and quilombola community of Igarapé São João, in the Middle Itacuruçá, located in the municipality of Abaetetuba, in the region of the islands, a rural area in the state of Pará, Amazon, northern region of Brazil. Ethnography is one of the paths of qualitative research as it comprises the study based on direct observation of the customary living practices of a particular group of people (Mattos, 2011). Therefore, I used participant observation, ethnobiography (Gonçalves, 2012) and writing (Evaristo, 2020), with a view to capturing the experience lived by the interlocutors of this research. Between illnesses, observation of backyards, reports about home remedies and plants, in addition to my childhood memories, experiences and coexistence in the quilombola community of Médio Itacuruçá, I noticed the diversity of knowledge acquired and transmitted by women. In the face of a global environmental crisis and the confrontation of environmental conflicts (monoculture of oil palm and livestock), the agroforestry system used by traditional populations, including riverside and quilombola populations, is of paramount importance for the maintenance of life and biodiversity.

Insólitos sons da Amazônia? Experiência e espírito de época na cena e no circuito rock de Belém do Pará entre 1982 e 1993
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08-14) OLIVEIRA, Enderson Geraldo de Souza; COSTA, Antonio Maurício Dias da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2563255308649361; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0223-9264
In this work I seek to discuss and understand if the current reports of individual and collective experiences, especially by musicians, producers and consumers of rock in Belém, communicate some sort of relation between a chronological period (going from 1982 to 1993) of the musical scene (Straw, 1991) and circuit (see Magnani) and a possible “spirit of the age” (Zeitgeist). Aiming to demonstrate those relationships, I observed and sought to establish a dialogue between the memory of the individuals, who experienced that period, and their specific transits through the city as well as the ownership and attribution of meaning to the spaces and experiences. Going beyond, the spirit of the time is not be “trapped” chronologically, but can (could) also currently be evoked through places that individualize speech and make the eighties a retrospectively peculiar period. Mindful of this, I know that this work also constitutes an element that cooperates and is inserted in such constructions, more than language, related to experiences of subjects. This work deals with communication, with Comprehensive Sociology, History and Philosophy in a pretty close way, without forgetting Anthropology, of course. Thus, the main thing for me in the development of this research was precisely observing the relationship of persons, its time, society and even temporality. It is not intended to present the history or even the genesis of rock in Belém, nor scrutinize it, but to discuss the interrelationships between a socio-historical education and the memorialistic content concerning a time in which the rock music scene and circuit gained momentum.

O “interior” e as águas: entre paisagens, mobilidades e tecnologias de uma vida ribeirinha em São Sebastião da Boa Vista no Marajó-PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-20) LIMA, Joicieli Pereira de; BUENO, Michele Escoura; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3126701924384242
This research arises from an internal confrontation with my own identity, and so I question whether the people who live in São Sebastião da Boa Vista in Marajó identify themselves as riverside or not. However, upon arriving in the field I realize that people in their daily lives are not using riverside as an identity, except in certain sporadic moments, and what appears constantly is the “interior” category, which in turn will be activated i ) sometimes as something negative and pejorative, considering the entire historical and social process that the word “interior” carries with it, ii) or from the confrontation with the “other”, this category will be one of valorization and reaffirmation. From the practice of people's daily lives, it was possible to notice that they were moving whether through the river, the dry land, the mud, but that within this movement the notion of time and space to refer to what is close and what is far it was being mediated by people's relationship with different landscapes, mainly by the presence or absence of water, understanding it as part of their reality and their way of life, acting in accordance with this connection to their own daily lives. Given this, I try to understand what it means to be from the “interior” for people, and from this I realize that the State reduces what it means to be riverside to a way of life linked only to the river, but that when seen through the practice of life people's daily lives, not only the river matters, but all the waters and their variations will constitute the production of the perception of belonging and their ways of life.

A internet como espaço de atuação política para mulheres capoeiristas em tempos de isolamento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-22) PENA, Luana de Nazaré Pinto; BUENO, Michele Escoura; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3126701924384242
Networked spaces have shaped new dynamics of sociability, enabling the intertwining of different historical-social contexts, a multiplicity of groups, organizations and subjects with different profiles of action and social and political mobilization, which have reached new heights from the contexts driven by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It was in this scenario that capoerista paraense Sabrina Silva used Facebook lives to spread the female capoerista movement in Pará. In view of the above, this study aimed to analyze how the internet became a locus of political action for women capoeiristas during the pandemic in 2020, based on the case study of Sabrina Silva's Lives. To carry out the analysis, we adopted digital ethnography as a method, which is an adaptation of ethnographic analysis for the study of online cultures, aiming to explore and expand the possibilities through the constant use of digital networks, posting the material collected. With regard to the theoretical framework, we selected, among others, authors who work on issues related to capoeira, such as Nestor Capoeira (1999), Letícia Reis (2000) and Luiz Augusto Leal (2005); authors who discuss social movement relations today, such as Manuel Castells (2014) and Maria da Gloria Gohn (2011); authors who debate issues of gender, race and class, for example Anne McClintock (1995) and Kimberlé Crenshaw (2002); and theorists who discuss the digital ethnography , namely Beatriz Lins, Carolina Parreiras and Eliane Freitas (2020). As a result, it was found that social media was appropriated by women during a period when physical meetings were suspended, in order to spread a struggle so important to the construction of Brazilian culture, thus highlighting the power relations present in capoeira and its possibilities for expanding discussions on the subject and giving it more visibility.

O lugar do corpo no corpo do lugar: uma etnografia da panha do açaí entre jovens da Ilha das Onças - Pa

The relationship between bodies and places in daily activities is the theme of this study which aims to present and at the same time understand, the forms and meanings attributed to such relationships in the practice of collecting açaí. The research carried out on Ilha das Onças - an island region close to Belém, capital of the state of Pará, in the northern region of Brazil -took place from the entrance in the açaizais belonging to seven young interlocutors - two female and five male - and made it possible to follow the universe of açaí “panha”, through experiences and narratives. The "panha" - name given by the residents of Ilha das Onças to the activity of collecting açaí - is here understood as a relational action between humans and plants, which is expressed as a technique and at the same time as an individual skill why conforms one own way of accomplishment, whose aim is to reap the rewards without hurting them, involving risks, heights and a lot of care. It reveals how interwoven the bodies of people are with their places of residence, which are also places of work. The collection of açaí, among the set of body techniques practiced on the islands near Belém, is a secular, ancestral and, therefore, traditional activity, and the collected product is a source of food and an economic base for those who live on Ilha das Onças. The experience in the açaizais accompanying people who collect the açaí, resulted in an ethnography of the “panha”, based on three body movements with different rhythms: the ascent, the arrival at top of palm tree, the descent and other perceptions. After the “panha” comes the “dibulha” and the packaging of the fruits in rasas in a handmade way, because beautiful and useful, preparing the moment when the product will be exposed, touched, tasted and marketed. The “panha” also leaves marks on the bodies of the collectors, revealing traces of the plant's agency, stigmas and attribution of masculinity. She is a “man's job”, but she is also a woman's. Women “panham” the “bébi” and “panham” the açaí. In short, the bodies of collectors and collectors are constituted by a permanent and updated inter-agency interplay between environment, society and the individual that is imprinted on them, as in a palimpsest. The relationship between man / woman and plant / açaí sets up a braid in the island's landscapes.

Mulheres Tembé-Tenetehara: entre saias, memórias, subjetividades e fotografias
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-04-27) CARDOSO, Ana Shirley Penaforte; CARDOSO, Denise Machado; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2685857306168366
This thesis is the result of an ethnographic study about indigenous women from the Tembé Tenetehara people who live in the Alto Rio Guamá Indigenous Territory (TIARG) in the state of Para, Brazil. This research draws on fieldwork experiences and observations with cultural leader Kuzà'i, shaman Francisca, and information about the late chief Veronica Tembe’s life, who passed away in December 2013. This study uses photography as a tool for interaction and analysis, creating ethnography through visual anthropology lens. This theoretical and methodological approach goal was to observe the convergences between verbal and visual statements that enable us to understand the historically constructed indigenous people identity production from the coloniality perspective, a concept that diverges from how the indigenous themselves perceive their daily lives. This study seeks to reflect on the indigenous women historically constructed symbolic image and analyze this imagistic aspect production that conflict with the indigenous people perspectives, whose comprehension of themselves differs considerably from the version imposed by outsiders. The thesis aims to analyze the Tenetehara women subjectivities in their cultural practices and the historical society movements’ context, which distinguish them from the 305 indigenous people currently living in Brazil, with 275 having "local" languages (IBGE, 2010). These field observations and informations allow us to recognize the historical generalization imposed on indigenous populations in the country, which perpetuates an Eurocentric "Indian" identity, marked by exoticism and neglects these people particularities. This identity is a coloniality power result, a colonial device that permeates history and resonates in contemporary society. Thus, this thesis aims to examine the indigenous women protagonism, using the body-territory concept (CELENTANI, 2014; XAKRIABÁ, 2018; KARIPUNA, 2021), which is a central element of their way of life. These women bodies’ images within their struggles, rights, and achievements are conceived as an instrument of knowledge, memory, and perception, which are embodied in the Territory, distancing us from the imposed matrix and the coloniality gaze.

OLHARES DA/NA CI(S)DADE: transexualidades/travestilidades, raça e práticas nos espaços citadinos de Belém – PA “em plena luz do dia”
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-03-19) GOMES, Gleidson Wirllen Bezerra; SILVEIRA, Flávio Leonel Abreu da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1972975269922101
This thesis aims to understand the relationship between the gender transitions of trans/travestis people and their practices in urban spaces (CERTEAU, 2014) in Belém “in broad daylight”. Thus, the ethnography proposed here was elaborated from references and reflections of Urban Anthropology, in dialogue with gender, sexualities and race studies. One of its bases was the biographical narratives (ROCHA; ECKERT, 2013a) of five interlocutors who, based on their life trajectories, allow them to reflect on the issues of gender, sexuality and race involved in their daily transits through the city. In addition to the semi-structured interviews focused on life trajectories, the narratives and reflections of trans/travestis people about Belém were also used, as well as direct observations with them, using the street ethnography technique (ROCHA; ECKERT, 2013b) to describe and interpret the situations that occurred in places in Belém such as streets, squares, sidewalks, and also in their displacements in the city within bus. The ethnographic data constructed in this way were organized into “scenes”, inspired by Perlongher (1984), in which it is possible to perceive the performances (TURNER, 2015; SCHECHNER, 2012) contained therein, gestures and facial expressions, evidencing the looks of strangers in the capital of Pará as one of the micro-gestures that make up the urban interactions (GOFFMAN, 2014) of trans/travestis people, when their bodies are sometimes rejected, sometimes desired, or observed with curiosity, demonstrating part of the complexity of the urban lifestyle in this amazon city. In these games of glances, territorialities (PERLONGHER, 1984; 2008) are also perceived in their symbolic-spatial demarcations in Belém, which helps us to think about the idea of a ci(s)ty, that is, a city that has in its foundations cisgenderism and whiteness, acting in the delimitations of the concrete spaces of the city and composing part of the social relations experienced therein.

ÒRÈ RÜ ÚKUẼ, sobre palavra e conselho: conhecimento e memória local na comunidade Mágüta (Tikuna) de Macedonia (Sul do Trapézio Amazônico- Colômbia)

The Tikuna or Mágüta indigenous communities that nowadays inhabit the Amazon River / Solimões riverbank, in addition to contact with the school, the Catholic and Evangelical churches and tourism driven mainly by private companies, maintain an increasingly closer relationship with other indigenous peoples, with regional societies occupying Amazonian lands (the “new settlers”) and with the different Nation-States (Brazil, Colombia and Peru). New communication technologies also approach with television, the internet and, therefore, the social networks that connect the world. Meanwhile, the indigenous language is yielding ground in the social places of indigenous communities, children and adolescents begin to value and use other languages, other oralities, other forms of communication. In that scene, the Mágüta people, despite the constant and persistent influences of colonial and messianic thought, retain their language, their narratives and their word. In their narratives are expressed forms of knowledge and memory through which they build their position as a people and as a society in the great Amazon. Therefore, this research seeks to make and issue and understand how the knowledge of the word òrè (oral word and mythical word) is put forth in the indigenous Tikuna community of Macedonia, on the Colombian riverbank of the Amazon / Solimões River. Here the interpretations around orality will be important, the local representations that will place on stage the “power” of the word òrè and the memories of the úkue͂board. In this way, the central theme of this thesis explores the various forms of the word Mágüta in the community of Macedonia, to stop at orality and the message stated in the act of advising. Thus, a methodological approach based on the appeal to individual and collective memory is proposed, which explores communicative acts and researches together with local Mágüta actors (teachers, evangelical pastors, school community and traditional doctors) who still use the native language in the community. In the end, the message of the òrè speaks about the origin, the heroes, the myths and the social construction of the Mágüta people, but it also speaks about the intimate scenarios of everyday life, from where the word of advice that is usually given is activated to relatives, the community and anyone who wishes to receive.

Pandemia e a espiral das crise: memórias de professoras e professores da Educação Básica durante a implementação do ensino remoto no Estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-12-09) MONTEIRO, Ádima Farias Rodrigues; BUENO, Michele Escoura; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3126701924384242
With the aim of understanding the social, professional, and emotional effects of the emergency political arrangements implemented by the Government of the State of Pará in the state public education during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the experience of teachers from the State Public Education Network in the Municipality of Ananindeua, in the metropolitan region of Belém, this dissertation brings an analysis of the memories that the 24 teachers I interviewed shared with me about their professional experiences. As I listened to them, I was also reliving my memories, and thus, I take on the position of a native/ethnographer (Peirano, 2014) in the text. I also analyze the main documents that regulated public education in the State of Pará in 2020 and 2021, relating them to the decisions of the federal government. Guided by what I heard in the field in January and February 2022, this study focuses on the period during the pandemic when the government of the State of Pará implemented "remote teaching" in the state public network, specifically from January to June 2021. The analysis of these experiences is in dialogue with anthropological and sociological perspectives on the topic. In Chapter I, I show how the state government managed basic education during the pandemic period when face-to- face classes were suspended in the public network. In Chapter II, I show how teachers experienced the changes resulting from the new standardization and regulation of basic education established by the state government. By analyzing the teachers' experiences, I realized that besides the contradiction between professionals and the State, other contradictions emerged as teachers practiced their profession from the domestic environment, elements to which I dedicate Chapter III. As results of this research, I argue that the pandemic deepened pre-existing crises and inequalities while producing new dynamics of crisis. According to the data, I show that as the state's educational public policies proved insufficient to contain the effects of the pandemic on basic education in Pará, teachers' lives became marked by a process of worsening precariousness of teaching work, expressed in the total flexibilization of the workday and physical and mental illness resulting from labor activities. Additionally, I highlight that in the case of women teachers who are mothers, daughters, and/or wives, there was also an endless workload of caregiving tasks, which was multiplied by the suspension of public services offered by the State, making the period one of overlapping labor and class inequalities with gender inequalities.

This dissertation investigates the democratization of audiovisual media in the Amazon region of Pará, focusing on the Telas em Rede project in Santarém/PA, which uses audiovisual media as a tool for popular communication to amplify the voices of peripheral communities and strengthen their struggles for recognition and rights. The study discusses dissident practices of audiovisual production as a form of countercolonial resistance, exploring the intertwining of art and politics. Anchored in Jacques Rancière's aesthetic theory, the research analyzes how audiovisual media can reconfigure perceptions, sensibilities, and ways of acting, both at the individual and collective levels, proposing new forms of political subjectivation and social transformation. The main objective is to examine the relevance of audiovisual media as a tool for struggle in contexts of popular organization and defense of territories, in addition to discussing the multiple meanings attributed to audiovisual media in the peripheries of the Amazon. The methodology used includes a multi-sited ethnography that combined participant observation, open and semi-structured interviews with members of Telas em Rede, and analysis of the audiovisual productions carried out in the project. The fieldwork was carried out in Santarém and was expanded with analyses of activity reports and digital materials related to the project. The research highlights the importance of democratizing audiovisual production technologies as a way of reconfiguring the sensitive, allowing historically marginalized groups to create their own narratives and question dominant colonial representations, articulating new political and social horizons. In this way, Telas em Rede seeks to reconfigure the perception of the Amazon space, not only as an area of exploration, but as a territory of resistance, creation and collective transformation, where audiovisual becomes a means of amplifying the demands and voices of invisible populations.

Por um turismo decolonial: reflexões antropológicas a partir da turistificação da Ilha do Combu/Pa
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-04) NUNES, Thainá Guedelha; FURTADO, Lourdes de Fátima Gonçalves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1828475659148260; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5243-4607
Starting from 2015, on the Combu Island, an Environmental Protection Area belonging to the insular area of Belém do Pará, a process of touristification began that took it out of its condition of relative invisibility, attracting more and more visitors. In view of this, this thesis aims to analyze this process and its main consequences. Having the island as the stage, we sought to critically reflect on tourism having been constituted under the influence of coloniality and, consequently, assimilated the notions of development and modernity. Using the debates arising from the Anthropology of Tourism, with contributions from authors who address decoloniality, the results presented are fruits of a qualitative anthropological research. This research was based on ethnography, with direct and participant observation, semi-structured interviews, online questionnaire and photographic records. Investigations were also carried out on the internet, seeking to follow on a social network profiles of establishments on the island, material for their dissemination and comments on posts about the island by profiles of newspapers in the city. The results presented here are derived not only from the research carried out during the doctoral period, but from the researches that I have carried out since 2010, which enabled me to follow the transformations that the island has been going through. Another methodological dimension was that of action research, in which counterparts of the research were established for the community. Booklets will be produced for the owners of the establishments and for the visitors, and a website about the Combu Island was created. As results, it is found that the advancement of the search for leisure in the place consolidated it as an important tourist spot in Belém, generating more visibility, local appreciation, employment and income for the population. However, it attracted the attention of outsiders who also seek to take advantage of the promising possibilities, deciding to undertake in the place, intensifying the process of touristification. A disorderly development of tourism is observed, which has been intensifying rapidly, generating the proliferation of establishments, real estate speculation, disturbance of local daily life, pollution, erosion, insecurity, emergence of artificial attractions and changes to meet external demands. It was noticed that the way the activity has been developing in recent years in the place, reflects the ontologies propagated by coloniality, in the behavior and actions of agents of the Private Sector, the public Power and visitors. However, the local population has shown its agency and highlighted its protagonism in the face of this process. Finally, we sought to bring propositions to advance in the decolonization of tourism.
