Caçar, preparar e comer o ‘bicho do mato’: práticas alimentares entre os quilombolas na Reserva Extrativista Ipaú-Anilzinho (Pará)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-12) FIGUEIREDO, Rodrigo Augusto Alves de; BARROS, Flávio Bezerra
Hunting of wild animals has played a significant role in the physical and symbolic reproduction of rural families living in various tropical regions of the planet. Indeed, many dimensions of using cynegetic resources as a source of human food have not been sufficiently studied, yet, above all from the viewpoints of Anthropology and Ethnoecology. Such dimensions are often overlooked in biodiversity conservation interventions. This article aims to analyze the use of wild animals in feeding practices among families in the quilombola community of Joana Peres, located in the Extractive Reserve Ipaú-Anilzinho, a conservation unit within the municipality of Baião, Pará, Brazilian Amazon. We conducted the study by using Ethnoecology postulates. We highlight elements having a social and cultural nature that guide the procedures for obtaining, preparing, and eating food through the cynegetic activity. We employed the methods of participant observation and semi-structured and open interviews. We interpret data both qualitatively and quantitatively. Particularly, for each of the species mentioned we seek to calculate the index of Use Value (UV), which allows to demonstrate the degree of relative importance of locally known species. The study has shown that the cynegetic activity involves both nutritional and socio-cultural aspects, since wildlife resources provide protein and the dietary practices are permeated by various processes including habits, imaginary, sociability, taboos, and preparation modes.

Comunidades tradicionais em áreas litorâneas da Amazônia: estudo sobre desenvolvimento local em Vila Mota, Pará, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-04) PINHEIRO, José Olenilson Costa; DARNET, Laura Angélica Ferreira
The paper presents the socioeconomic dimension in Vila Mota, municipality of Maracanã, state of Pará, and its repercussion in the local development process, understood as the fulfillment of basic human needs. Vila Mota is a community of traditional fishing located in the Reserva Extrativista Marinha de Maracanã (marine extractive reserve). The conditions of life in this community were observed and analyzed according to some indicators that make up the Human Development Index (HDI) and its variants. Limiting and enhancer factors for local development were also identified. The survey was carried out in 2007 and took into account 72 families representing 48% of the total available. The results indicated that housekeeping was impaired in families that have developed small-scale fishing as the only productive activity, given that the monetary income for 62.5% of these families was less than a minimum wage. The conditions of education and natural resources were enhancer factors to the development, although the most part of inhabitants did not know the purposes of the marine reserve. The absence of a cooperative culture, the lack of a structure for production, transportation and marketing, and the disability of health services were evidences of a low capacity for socio-political organization, with direct impact on local development.

Do avortado ao comprado: práticas alimentares e a segurança alimentar da comunidade quilombola do baixo Acaraqui, Abaetetuba, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-04) NASCIMENTO, Elcio Costa do; GUERRA, Gutemberg Armando Diniz
This research presents the analysis of different strategies of Food and Nutritional Security (SAN) developed by the families of the Quilombola Community of baixo Acaraqui, Abaetetuba, Pará. The community is facing changes in their eating habits due the reduction of natural resources (hunting animals, fish and shrimps), decrease of the area for agricultural production and increase of the commercial value of production. Using a qualitative approach and the following procedures: participant observation, semi-structured interviews, photographic record, itemized lists and workshops on eating habits, we investigated the community and their production and food practices. We observed a higher specialization of production, decreasing the diversity of local production and of the families’ self-sufficiency; increasing in the importance of extraction of açaí as an income generator; substitution of natural products (natural juices, teas) for industrial products (coffee, soda); increase in purchasing power, stimulated both by market trades and the social benefits received (bolsa família, pension and seguro defeso). This reality has significantly influenced the production practices and eating habits of the local families, interfering with production decisions and food acquisition, making families dependent on trade and income generation in order to ensure the SAN of the quilombola families.

Uso medicinal da pimenta malagueta (Capsicum frutescens L.) em uma comunidade de várzea à margem do rio Amazonas, Santarém, Pará, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-12) ROMAN, André Luís Cote; MING, Lin Chau; ARAUJO, Izabel Carvalho de; SABLAYROLLES, Maria das Graças Pires
An ethnobotanical study was carried out for this study aimed at understanding the medicinal importance of malagueta / chili pepper (C. frutescens L.) in the daily life of the people of Cabeça D'Onça, an area in the Amazon River floodplain. The community of approximately 330 residents is situated in the municipality of Santarém, Pará State. In total, 116 people from 70 households were interviewed for this work. Information regarding the medicinal uses of these peppers was collected in semi-structured interviews and compiled in detail. In the second phase of the study, structured interviews were carried out in 40 households with 80 people (40 couples) to determine the most commonly-known uses of the peppers in the study area. Over 50% of those interviewed cited the use of the malagueta in curing certain illnesses reputed to be caused by contact with water from the Amazon River, including 'pano-branco', and 'impinge' (both diseases of the skin treated with the leaves) and rheumatism (treated with the fruit). A comparison of the data obtained in this study with published literature reveals strong indigenous influence in their medicinal use.
