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.

Castanhal: a “cidade modelo”, os caminhos e descaminhos do projeto de desenvolvimento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-20) CRUZ, Laiane Helena Silva da; MOURA, Edila Arnaud Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2154370107837866; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0093-8464
Inspired by developmentalism ideas, the Brazilian government implemented several public policies during the second half of the last century intending to promote economic growth, fueled mainly by industrialization. After the 1964 coup d’état, to integrate the Amazon region to the rest of the country, the government adopted several public policies such as road construction and generous tax incentives. This region, which was seen as an empty space by the State, began to attract thousands of migrants in search of plots of land. Thus, the goal of this dissertation is to assess the role of the State in the municipality of Castanhal within a political scenario driven by the ideology of development. The city of Castanhal, located in the state of Pará, is analyzed considering three different periods: its creation associated with the construction of the railway station of Bragança-PA, the revitalization of its downtown, and the creation of the Cupiúba rural settlement. This study was carried out based on bibliographic research and literature review about the history of Castanhal and its surrounding area (Bragantina region), as well as on socio-demographic, economic, and agricultural indicators collected from the following databases: SIDRA and Atlas Brasil. The results indicate that Castanhal stands out positively among the other municipalities that were crossed by the Bragança railway due to a set of investments the city received during the analyzed periods. On the other hand, concerning the social reproduction of farmers in rural settlements, there are still many challenges that need to be overcome. The State’s neglect, to which they are subjected, and the creation of the Cupiúba settlement as a palliative measure in response to their land occupation reveal how familiar farming is devalued by public authorities.

“O desvio no olhar”: o fenômeno da invisibilidade social das pessoas em situação de rua no espaço urbano de Belém.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-07-06) RODRIGUES, Flávia Pingarilho; RIBEIRO, Tânia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1193175057010343; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1683-3659
Social invisibility is described as a phenomenon of denial about the existence of an individual through a stigma, a prejudice: it exists physically, however it does not exist socially. Thus, as it is not being seen as part of society, he cannot be considered a citizen, thus enjoying his rights. The research aims to investigate, from the sociological point of view (BOURDIEU, 2002; SENNETT, 2004; HONNETH, 2006; SOUZA, 2003), how social invisibility happens and how a homeless person is socially “erased” to the point of not having documentation that guarantee their well-being in the midst of public space. The Ver-o-Peso Market region, in Belém do Pará, is the research location. It is an environment of intense commercialization and tourism, in which a significant portion of these homeless people transit. The methodology will be qualitative, involving informal and semi-structured interviews with homeless people, local marketers and volunteers from the Sopão – a charity group; survey of quantitative data and bibliography to analise the case study on the theme of social invisibility in the city of Belém. Invisibility, as well as visibility, are ramifications of the same root, since the decision of what is or is not socially visible is established depending on what society, called here as normative, establishes in what is desirable to exist or not, when the the presence of the different offers threats to this society, ranging from: simple visual discomfort to the denial of the right to exist of an individual in public urban space, thus coerced through symbolic and physical violence.

Espaços da morte na vida vivida e suas sociabilidades no cemitério Santa Izabel em Belém-Pa: etnografia urbana e das emoções numa cidade cemiterial.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-02-27) RODRIGUES, Elisa Gonçalves; SILVEIRA, Flávio Leonel Abreu da; lattes.cnpq.br/1972975269922101
Death permeates several fields of human experience in physical and imaginary terms, therefore, individual, collective and social. Such a construction surrounds the subjects, their relationships and social markers, as well as the social position in which certain individuals occupy, in this case, arranged in what I call the cemetery city. Therefore, this dissertation aims to identify how the emotions and experiences, experienced and reported, mostly by workers and passers-by of this cemetery city, embody, impact and influence their daily lives, working with and for death. Through the perspectives produced with workers, passers-by and users of Campo Santo, through an ethnography in the urban cemetery context, anchored in the three anthropological dimensions that interest me most directly - Emotions, Urban and Death -, I walked through the streets of the cities of the living and the dead considering their broader sensoriality (evoked by the sensitive, the imaginary and the rites), under listening and participant observation in the routine of the collective dates of strong symbolic reverberation of/in the Santa Izabel Cemetery. Through wandering through the cemetery streets I realized that those who circulate within the necropolis experience death in a joint experience with life in perspective of interaction with death. At burials, at symbolic-collective dates, and at other times referred to in this research, I noticed the ambience of the place that the city of the dead occupies in the city of the living, and reciprocally. In view of this, the research in question, through ethnography focused on the sensitive in the cemetery context, anthropoetry and street ethnography, opens space for reflections that consider the look of the subjects who handle death and understand it as a place in their lives, whether at work or outside of it, and thus dimension the borders that touch the day-to-day life of the necropolis, which reach beyond the limits of the Amazonian cemetery city.

“Essa casa não é do INCRA, essa casa é minha”: efeitos funcionais e simbólicos do crédito habitacional em uma Resex marinha da Amazônia.

The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the implementation of the Housing Credit of the II National Program for Agrarian Reform (II PNRA) in the Caeté-Taperaçu Marine Extractive Reserve (REMCT), which enabled the construction of housing for a portion of the population. REMCT is located in the municipality of Bragança, and it is a territory where fishermen and crab catchers live. This analysis seeks to identify how the local dynamic affects and modifies the functional propositions of housing, which is also constituted by its symbolic dimension, which is inscribed in the life history of the actors and in the way of living in a Resex; and, if the housing policy in question enabled gains in the quality of life of those contemplated by it. The methodology used is predominantly qualitative, based on a bibliographical review, on the analysis of interviews with REMCT residents, leaders and technicians, and on minutes and official documents. Quantitative data collected on official bases are used in a complementary way, with a view to emphasizing the main issues highlighted in the interviews. With regard to the theoretical field, I start from the perspective of sociology that makes it possible to analyze the relations between State and society, highlighting the importance of actors, processes and structures, with emphasis on the social dimension (CORTÊS and LIMA, 2012), and through this approach allow to refine the understanding of the role of social groups, whose interactions have powers to influence the strategies, projects and results of public policies (LASCOUMES and LE GALÈS, 2012). The results have shown that the II PNRA Housing Credit policy has the potential to reduce inequalities, because the construction of housing for impoverished populations provides a roof over which to live and brings functional structures such as bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom and water. piped, capable of providing more quality of life. On the other hand, the public policy in question did not consider regional or environmental aspects, and as it is a type of Conservation Unit, the implementation of the policy should dialogue with the issue of sustainability of the territory, also considering the participation of local populations in the construction and implementation of the housing policy.

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.

Justiça ambiental em território de desastres: uma ação local de resistência em São Sebastião do Burajuba/Barcarena (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-10-27) CRISTO, Amanda Mesquita; TEISSERENC, Maria José da Silva Aquino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1799861202638255
The present work aims to analyze actions and organizations of actors mobilized in processes that are configured as struggles against environmental injustice and for the good living in the community of São Sebastião do Burajuba in Barcarena, municipality of the state of Pará, as resistance to issues related to environmental injustices regarding access to and use of water, in a context marked by mining activities. These activities, considered as pollutants to a high degree, result in significant changes in the ecosystem, in the ways of life, in the economic and cultural practices of quilombola communities, indigenous peoples, farmers, extractivists and fishermen. To this end, the concepts of Environmental Justice by Acselred (2010) and Bem Viver de Acosta (2016) were used, understanding that nature and its resources are references linked to a philosophy of life, part of countless histories of struggle and resistance of called traditional populations. Defending against the injustice posed regarding the unequal distribution of risks by industrial activities is presented in the form of complaints and confrontations in Barcarena carried out by the Association of Caboclos, Indígenas e Quilombolas da Amazônia (Cainquiama) and by the quilombola community São Sebastião do Burajuba. It is a research of qualitative methodology, in which in addition to data analysis and basic bibliography, interviews were conducted with several actors from the Burajuba community, including members of Cainquiama. The research also points out that the fight for environmental justice has a long way to go, mainly in a country marked by several social and territorial inequalities. The results indicated that the emissions of industrial pollutants are destined for part of a territory where populations of ethnic-racial origin live whose socioeconomic situation becomes disadvantaged.

O lago virou canal: desigualdade ambiental nas entrelinhas do saneamento básico em uma baixada de Belém
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-07-05) PESSOA, Cláudia de Fátima Ferreira; RIBEIRO, Tânia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1193175057010343; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1683-3659
This paper analyzes the reproduction of environmental inequalities through the impacts of precarious basic sanitation services on the perimeter of Lago Verde, a tributary of the Tucunduba River in the Terra Firme district of Belém, Pará. This relationship is justified by the recognition that certain sections of the population, allocated to specific areas such as the lowlands of Belém, have no guarantee of equitable access to the resources and policies that are fundamental to life in the city. The research used a methodological approach to the problem based on a predominantly qualitative approach, employing the techniques of bibliographical research, field research and the application of interviews with semi-structured scripts, collection and analysis of secondary data, such as statistical data on sanitation collected from official data platforms, research institutions and municipal bodies in Belém, as well as census analysis of the neighborhood based on data from the IBGE Automatic Retrieval System (SIDRA) statistical database and documentary research in journalistic sources. The theoretical analysis is based on the category of environmental inequality (Acselrad, Mello and Bezerra, 2009) articulated with the theme of basic sanitation as a public policy to promote well-being (Rezende, Heller, 2008; Souza et al, 2015). The category of environmental inequality represents a synthesis between social and environmental inequality, going beyond differences of income and class by broadening the sociological view of the environment. The perspectives elaborated on sanitation influence ways of appropriating the city, guiding practices, temporalities and impacting the subjective spheres of individuals in two distinct moments. The first is the absence and/or precariousness of services. This can be seen in the financial security of the residents interviewed, which is compromised by works and adjustments to their homes after flooding, in the disruption of activities and habits that they maintained in their daily lives due to public works interventions, and the distress and concern in managing their homes, which represent their dreams and achievements, symbolized in their own homes. A second moment is the spatialization of the state in the lowlands, where aspects of political participation were triggered by the Tucunduba Pro Lago Verde socio-environmental movement. A legitimate social critique was made of the way in which the interventionist actions were implemented. The concerns and afflictions that make up the daily lives of the residents of the Lago Verde community alter their relationship with the neighborhood, as well as their way of being in the city. A social process of sanitation is mobilized that attests to and stands against the sustaining and reproduction of social and environmental inequalities.

Maretório: o giro ecoterritorial dos povos extrativistas costeiro-marinhos do litoral da Amazônia paraense do litoral da Amazônia paraense?

This dissertation presents a reflection on the socio-anthropological construction of the identity of the coastal extractive peoples of the Amazonian coast of Pará. In view of this, the study aimed to understand how the leaders of the National Commission for the Strengthening of Coastal and Marine Extractive Reserves and Extractive Peoples (CONFREM) from Coastal-Marine Extractive Reserves (RESEXs) on the coast of Pará give meaning to the maretório, that by mobilizing it for the recognition of a singular identity, that of coastal-marine extractivistas, they are drawing a concept in practice - as an ecoterritorial turn. It is qualitative exploratory research, which involved a set of techniques and methodological procedures that include bibliographic research, documentary research, and interviews with semi-structured scripts. This material was analyzed in dialog with a proposal of conceptual synthesis of the theoretical field of social movements. However, given the specificities of socio-environmental struggles in the context of the Pará Amazon coast, there was a need to incorporate other analytical categories, such as socio-environmental conflicts and expropriation of the sea. Currently there are 30 Coastal-Marine RESEXs decreed between the years 1992 and 2018, and 13, are located on the coast of the state of Pará. The mobilizations led by coastal-sea extractive peoples demanding the creation of these Sustainable Use Conservation Units originated from socio-environmental conflicts triggered by the incorporation of the coast of the Pará Amazon into an agenda composed of actions, policies, and initiatives, characterized by literature as the ocean grabbing. The results of the research indicate that it was only in 2008, that is, a little more than a decade after the institutionalization of the first Coastal-Marine RESEXs in Brazil, that the idea of forming an organization to represent the socio-environmental movement emerged. Over the years CONFREM has been expanding its window of action and gaining recognition from the State and Society as a whole. The main agendas defended by CONFREM involve the demand and the monitoring of the processes of creation of new Conservation Units, as well as the access to policies that meet and recognize the specificities of the category. In different participation spaces, such as meetings, forums, and seminars, these leaders of CONFREM of the Coastal-Marine RESEXs of the coast of Pará present a claim directed to academia: the construction of the concept of the maretório. Based on these leaders, it was possible to understand that the maretório, as a concept, would be characterized as the necessary lenses for those who wish to understand the socio-environmental dynamics, which occurs on the coast of the Pará Amazon, of the population segment self-denominated as "coastal-marine extractive peoples," which is linked to the singularity of a way of life based on cultural, political, and economic reproduction amidst the fluidity of the processes of appropriation and use of common resources of coastal and marine environments and ecosystems.

Motivação para o engajamento sindical : estudo de uma organização de agricultores familiares no nordeste paraense

This research deals with the motivations for engagement in the Union of Rural Workers (STTR), in the Municipality of Concórdia do Pará. Collective action represents one of the most important ways to make social and political claims prevail and is often carried out through organizations. Social organizations, therefore, become privileged instruments of contestation and political confrontation and, especially, unions have historically played a central role in defending the interests of workers. Rural unionism, however, is currently in a more delicate situation, due to a series of transformations that put its attractiveness in check, making it difficult for partners to engage and remain. Therefore, understanding why to become a member of a union is a matter of extreme relevance, not only academic, but also practical. To carry out this analysis, a qualitative approach was used, with data collection taking place in two communities (Galho and Igarapé João), and a settlement (Nova Inácia), as well as at the union headquarters. The research was divided into two stages, with five forays into the field. Secondary data were collected (from the Concordia Agriculture Department and the STTR headquarters), the literature on the researched topic was consulted and 23 interviews were conducted (with 18 family farmers and five union leaders). The survey results showed that the Concord STTR has a significant share of affiliated farmers, most of whom approve the current union board. Nevertheless, I found that most of the members are not up to date with the union contribution, with some claiming that they stopped contributing after the approval of the temporary law 871/2019 which ended the need to issue union declarations so that workers can apply for retirement. This service was one of the main reasons for STTR membership and its cancellation weakened the organization. This fact points to the need for unions to reinvent themselves and establish partnerships with other organizations, such as farmers' associations.

This study makes an analysis of the social movement called Permanent Forum 'Fora Lixão' in its practices in the city of Marituba (PA) under the conception of the Theory of Political Confrontation (TPP). The research resorted to a qualitative approach and the case study method, following the procedures of interviews, journalistic, judicial, administrative documents and bibliographical research. The results demonstrated an internal organization of the movement composed of community associations, political parties, social movements and segments of the Catholic Church, as well as forms of popular participation that oscillated between confrontation and collaboration with the State. The research informs us about how organized civil society and public institutions-built arrangements, partnerships and forms of political participation, in the case of the rejection of the Marituba landfill, popularly known as “Marituba dump”. The research also informs about the strengthening of popular mobilization, in order to conquer a popular participatory democracy, for the treatment of solid waste in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, according to more evolved technical parameters and consistent with the guidelines of the National Waste Policy Solids and the laws that support it.

Nosso território, nossas regras! a construção do protocolo de consulta como instrumento pedagógico e de defesa do modo de vida no território quilombola de Moju Miri, Pará.

Our Territory, Our Rules! This statement guided and gave meaning to the construction of the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent Protocol in the territory of Moju Miri. Taking this process as a reference, the dissertation brings the collective dimensions of a writing based on many voices. I am part of this polyphony (Clifford, 1998), referenced in the concept of "escrevivência" by Conceição Evaristo (2018), as I place myself in the text as a quilombola woman belonging to the Moju Miri quilombo and also as a researcher. From this "in-between place" (Bhabha, 1998), situated between academia and my community, I bring the experience of the process in Moju Miri as well as theoretical contributions from other consultation protocol experiences in various locations. I conduct an ethnography not only of the protocol process but also of the daily life of my community, with reference to Mariza Peirano (2014). Ethnographically, I worked on aspects characteristic of the community's daily life, focusing on memory, ancestry, and the history of our quilombo. I actively participated in the workshops held since 2020, with a pause due to the pandemic, and resumed at the end of 2021 until the first months of 2023. The work for the construction of the Consultation Protocol was collective, with intense participation from the residents of Moju Miri. Additionally, the work involved allied institutions like Fase, which sponsored the project, and leaders from other communities who were invited to integrate into the Moju Miri protocol, bringing experiences from other processes. It is important to mention that all this produced cohesion not only in the territory of Moju Miri but also among several other territories – such as Abacatal, Jambuaçu, and Bom Remédio in Abaetetuba, for example. Therefore, a central argument of the dissertation is the ability to produce cohesion and aggregation through a political process like the consultation protocol. This was a highly significant pedagogical effect. In the protocol process, various collective actors converged on the central value of defending the territory against assaults from companies and the government itself, with projects such as palm oil cultivation, electricity transmission lines, road openings, railways, and ports. When it comes to defending our territory, ethnographic writing cannot avoid being engaged, as Grada Kilomba (2019) does, criticizing traditional academicism. The struggle is for the right to consultation, in the face of the government's and companies' initiatives that affect our lives and harm our forests, rivers, knowledge, and ways of life. The work uses narratives from residents who participated in the process, thus bringing their experiences through orality, the collective voices that join the writing to produce "escrevivência." The dissertation investigates how the Consultation Protocol has become an instrument of the community's right to participate in the territory's destiny, how it allowed or did not allow for a less asymmetrical negotiation with the large economic interests advancing in the vicinity and even within the domain of Moju Miri territory. In the "escrevivência," the following issues were considered: How did the Consultation Protocol process influence the strengthening of protagonism, ancestry, and political organization of the community? How did it contribute to affirming our identity? Which moments/debates most contributed to what we want? Did the process inform us about rights? Did it produce pedagogical effects? We bring voices from Moju Miri to this discussion.

Paradoxos da conservação da biodiversidade e da salvaguarda do patrimônio imaterial no Estado do Pará

This research focuses on issues relating to policies relating to the cultural and natural heritage of the State of Pará. Even though the inseparability of nature and culture is recognized in chapters of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Constitution of the State of Pará of 1989, the cultural and environmental dimensions are addressed separately in the process of patrimonialization of balata crafts in the face of restrictions on access to this raw material. The general objective of this research was to discuss whether, and how, the practices of the State of Pará in relation to intangible cultural heritage and the environment contribute to its safeguarding and conservation, respectively. This is qualitative and explanatory research to specify characteristics that determine or favor the occurrence of the social phenomena focused on. The methodology involved bibliographical research and field research, which included semi- structured interviews and participant observation. Thus, it was found that the State of Pará, although it has recognized the balata craftsmanship as intangible heritage through the legislative power, threatens the material support of the craftsmanship through the executive power insofar as it allocates the trees that provide the material- cousin who makes handicrafts for companies to manage in the Paru State Forest. The bodies responsible for managing cultural heritage and the environment, as well as the legislative and executive powers, are disjointed. It is necessary to accelerate disconnections in the operations carried out by agencies and seek more integrated practices.

This dissertation seeks to understand the Camará River Common Use Territory, named by the Rosario quilombolas, a relevant area used as a source of natural resources essential to their physical, social, economic and cultural reproduction, which they avoided claiming in the process of land regularization. solely in their favor. From the reflection on the values underlying their relations with other neighboring communities and villages, with which they share this territory of common use, theoretical based in Pierre Bourdieu, through the concepts of cultural capital and habitus, I examine their strategies and measures to ensure the enjoyment of existing natural resources (territory, fisheries and forest resources), in addition to the private appropriation of the region's farmers, that are located in areas outside the claimed quilombola territory and those resources are shared with families from other riverside communities, with which it maintains historical relations based on tradition, kinship relations - by ancestry and alliance, triggered in situations of sociocultural events and / or to resolve eventual conflicts. Supported by ethnographic research and open interviews, I describe the relationship between community families and farmers in the region, through the process of occupation, constitution of common use territory and the context in which they called the “Camará River Common Use Area” emerged, in the process of regularization of the quilombola territory of Rosario. Throughout the dissertation, tensions, clash of interests and values between the fields involved and the socioeconomic dynamics of the Camará river channel are identified, which expose the usual actions that demonstrate the resilience of the quilombola community in relations with its neighbors and guarantee them the bonds of solidarity, as well as access - for all - to the natural resources essential to their way of life (mowing, collecting, fishing).

Pueblo Pijao y recuperación de Ima reetnización, sabidurías propias y defensa territorial en el Resguardo Indígena San Antonio de Calarma (Tolima, Colombia)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-20) ORTIZ GORDILLO, Andrés Felipe; CASTRO, Edna María Ramos de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4702941668727146
This research undertakes the critical systematization of the territorial recovery process that the Pijao people of the San Antonio de Calarma Reservation (Tolima, Colombia) has carried out since the mid-1970s. This process has been called “the recovery of Ima” (Mother Earth in Pijao), and is structured by two dimensions of the indigenous territorial struggle in the municipality of San Antonio de Calarma: recovering “ownership” of territories considered “ancestral” –both by institutional means and by de facto territorial occupation–, and the healing or restoration of balance in the "dry world" (Ima, the territory) in order to "return to the origin." Through militant research—situated in the methodological field of collaborative ethnographies and drawing from the epistemological principles of participatory action research—the recovery of Ima was determined to be not only a process of territorial defense, but also an exploration of the Pijao's own way of being, thinking and feeling the territory, an onto-epistemic process that has led to the recovery of Pijao wisdom called "Life-Conceptions", a complex relational system of territorial knowledge that proposes alternatives to the multiple crises imposed by capitalism. At the same time, the process of recovering Ima has contributed to the re-existence of the Pijao people in Southwest Tolima, by questioning the "de-Indianization" strategies that, since the mid-19th century, landowners and agro-industrial entrepreneurs used to "peasantize" the indigenous workforce and integrate the region into the circuits of coffee production which sustained the Colombian economy in the 20th century. In this sense, the recovery of Ima is an expression of the re-Indianization-re-ethnicization experienced by Tolima’s Pijao people, who have found in their territorial struggle a path to uncover their own wisdom and their own ways of organizing and mobilizing, with the ultimate goal of "recovering the balance of the dry world and returning to the origin."

Quando o pesquisador e o sujeito da pesquisa são um: reflexividade quilombola sobre pesca, conflito e disputa na RESEX Ipaú-Anilzinho e TQ de Joana Peres (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-26) RIBEIRO FILHO, Manoel Machado; CAÑETE, Voyner Ravena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9961199993740323; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8528-3086
When considering the looks full of meanings that pass through me, as I am a quilombola, born, raised in the quilombo and today working in a place of leadership, of a minority that seeks to communicate with the hegemonic society in a relationship without hierarchies, I bring my speech in this writing. By bringing my speech in this text, my memories, my belonging and experiences are present from the beginning to the end of this dissertation. Thinking and writing like this, this study comprises an autoethnography, which for Miranda (2022, p. 71) is understood “as a cultural analysis elaborated through personal narrative, where it is possible to develop a critical lens in an inside-outside praxis, of way to understand who we are in our communities.” In this context, I come to talk about the tensions that shape new relationships in the process of new delimitation of the territory in the context of the Extractive Reserve (RESEX) and Quilombola Territory (TQ), in conflict scenarios that came to be established and mark this relationship, particularly considering fishing activity and the community of Anilzinho. Joana Peres and Anilzinho are the only quilombola communities, of the six that make up RESEX, created on June 14, 2005. Two quilombola territories, pre-defined over time by leaders and fishermen, being joined to the same RESEX territory, from of its creation. While the territory of the Anilzinho community was included in its entirety in the RESEX, with regard to my quilombo village of Joana Peres, the RESEX divided its territory, part of the community area is inside the RESEX, the other is not, which goes beyond the surroundings of the unit.

Recomposição socioterritorial em contexto de mineração: Utopia e distopia do PAE Juruti Velho – Pará, Baixo Amazonas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-12-16) MIRANDA, Tania Nazarena de Oliveira; TEISSERENC, Maria José da Silva Aquino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1799861202638255
This work, from an informed perspective in the sociology of public action, challenges the complex relationships that took place between communities and the mining company Alcoa, from 2009, in Juruti Velho, district of Juruti (Baixo Amazonas). The research privileged observations about the Juruti Velho Agroextractivist Project, as an initiative inscribed in the developments in terms of the socio-territorial recomposition produced with the aluminum exploration venture, thus inaugurating, at the same time, a conflict arena involving traditional communities, publics agents, corporations, catholic Church and social movements, actors of different backgrounds and relevance. In this process, there are experiences of intense conflicts resulting from internal differences in the communities, somehow related to the presence of mining activities and interests in that territory. The data collected resulted from a methodological approach close to action research with involved riverside communities. Interviews, direct observations at meetings of the association to which 53 local communities are affiliated, as well as photographic records constitute the techniques by which the basis of data and information was built, in which it was identified as emblematic of the rupture of neighborhoods ties previously witnessed by the practice of puxiruns (group work aimed at completing a task more quickly). An important practice in a social recomposition of the territory, through local actions with which the communion of utopias was an agglutinating element. Thus, in Juruti Velho there will be an intense process of articulation and popular mobilization aiming at recognition as a traditional community and, through this recognition, the titling of their lands. As a result of this process, the management of royalties, paid as a counterpart to the bauxite mining rights, is now carried out by the communities in order to promote the sustainable development of the territory. It is through this management, here interpreted as territorial, and its dynamics in terms of utopias and dystopias, involving the representatives of the communities involved in the Juruti Velho Agroextractivist Project, as well as in the process of resignification of the puxiruns, which sought to understand the contradictory relations between the communities and the mining company, and in them what is projected as a future in relation to the territory, object in which, and around which, actors mobilize to reach a goal, in this case, the control of their management, according to with the demands of sustainable development. It is understood that the harnessing of royalties under the management of the Association of Riverside Juruti Velho (Acorjuve), while, at the same time, signifying achievements, integrated a territorial recomposition, bringing challenges faced with the resignification of traditional social practices such as puxirum, thus enabling new prospects for the future of the territory.

Regularização fundiária na estrada nova de Belém: o que está em jogo no Programa Chão Legal?
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-04-24) ALVES, Edivania Santos; PEIXOTO, Rodrigo Corrêa Diniz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9872938064820413
The thesis investigates The Chão Legal municipal program of agrarian regularization, run by the municipal government of Belém, on sub basins 1 of Estrada Nova. Its objective is found in the verification, analysis, nd interpretation of verifiable social developments during the implementation of the agrarian regularization program.The sociological methodology applied used the various data were collected and analyzed with the following premise: what is at stake on the Chão Legal in Estrada Nova in Belém? My thesis is that the execution and management of projects, sanitation and urbanization are expressions of classist and racist rationality, according to the logic of the market. In this logic, the residents are not seen as a priority of programs, i.e. your presence in the place is not considered a foundation of urban politics. The residents are regularly treated as obstacles to a selective redevelopment, intended for the area. The social and urban redevelopment of these areas means the removal of the original residents, poor and racially completely outnumbered. The popular housing is not contemplated in the sanitation and urbanization process, as something inherent in the project, the solutions adopted are precarious and provisional. The project does not consider as a priority the maintenance of people in their places. Therefore, contrary to the rhetoric produced by the State that the sanitation, urbanization, and adjustment of urban land will improve the lives of residents, what occurs is a war against the poor people. It is known in Belém that "sanitized outskirts is not for the poor people‖. But it is important to ask: who are the poor people who have been historically racialized and made inferior?Are these people given the right to dream of a "cool" place, with ownership and security without flooding? The racism of the ruling elites in relation to the populations of the Belém‘s watersheds associates three elements by assigning them related and overlap meanings: related and directions: social, racial and dwelling place, based on hierarchy of superiority and inferiority. In other words: to be poor, black and live in neighborhoods that make up the basin of Estrada Nova carries derogatory and unbiased meanings, that result in the production of an overlay image of stigma where the sense of humanity to these people is denied. Such a denial legitimizes the barbarism that afflicts these people despised. This process converts The Estrada Nova in a ―vast territory of reserve" to be appropriated by the legal market. To the extent that the areas are consolidated as of interest to the real capital state, there is a strong market pressure on the residents, which may result in the forced or consented expulsion, observing the examples of what has been done in other cities around the country and even in the Belém city in similar projects. Finally, the desire and understanding of the present work is not limited to the academic environment. It resulted in the production of a booklet that, through synthesis and repertories, aims to inform the public about ongoing clashes and the ones to come, providing indications of what is at stake.

Tecnologia social para qualidade de vida em territórios de conservação: reservas de desenvolvimento sustentável Mamirauá e Amanã Amazonas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-12-12) NASCIMENTO, Ana Claudeise Silva do; MOURA, Edila Arnaud Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2154370107837866; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0093-8464; TEISSERENC, Maria José da Silva Aquino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1799861202638255
The concept of Social Technology (ST) has been used—within academy and beyond—to mark the boundaries of a domain that is critical of the common positionings of technological determinism and scientific neutrality. The relationship between science, technology and society has resulted in a political agenda that aims to enhance local transformations, citizenship and social inclusion, by coordinating knowledge and practice, and to promote social emancipation. It is in this context, drawing from theoretical studies on science, technology and society, that the present work approached its subject. The research problem was defined in an analytical framework involving the nexus: “conservation unit; social technology; quality of life”, based on an experiment undertaken by the Sustainable Development Institute Mamirauá (IDSM). The aforementioned institute is an active protagonist in tackling technical-scientific problems such as inadequate drinking water and electricity in rural communities of Amazon floodplains. The main objective of the thesis is to analyze the diversity of effects and changes triggered by the IDSM in two riverside communities, located in the Sustainable Development Reserves Mamirauá and Amanã (Médio Solimões region), based on their access to other types of knowledge and technologies. The technologies were developed or reapplied by the IDSM with a technical-scientific perspective, aiming to promote quality of life among the local population as a component of sustainable use environmental conservation. The STs under analysis were water pumped from a river and household lighting, both using photovoltaic solar energy. To this end, the following aspects were considered: the social management—collective or individual—of a new technology proposed by a community; ways in which the aforementioned systems were appropriated; and the challenges and conflicts that interfered in their introduction and use. The methodological approach was designed by combining quantitative and qualitative research procedures, including bibliographic review, participant observation, ethnography and semi-structured interviews. Databases compiling demographic and socio-economic surveys of the Mamiraua and Amanã Sustainable Development Reserves, from the years 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2011, were analyzed to identify changes in the families’ lives throughout those years. Qualitative research also allowed the participating families’ perceptions on such changes to be evidenced. The findings indicate that, beyond reaching technical success, a series of measures are required as pertains to the social organization and use of the technologies. In this respect, consideration of the following factors would allow the concept of social technology to be understood in a broader fashion: the degree of the families’ involvement in the process of implementing the ST—in installation and maintenance—; the creation of mechanisms to ensure the systems’ sustainability; the creation of an internal standard and the instatement of a maintenance fund to buy spare parts and repair damages to the equipment; continued training to ensure local technical knowledge, and; follow-up of service failures and interruptions, in addition to user satisfaction. Such mechanisms are necessary as social technologies inherently incorporate innovative forms of organization and participation of the population as concerns the use of available resources.

“Toda planta tem Alguém com ela” – sobre mulheres, plantas e imagens nos quintais de mangueiras
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-04-24) PEIXOTO, Lanna Beatriz Lima; SILVEIRA, Flávio Leonel Abreu da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1972975269922101
This work is a study about the relationship of women and backyards, with an emphasis on plant cultivation. The research took place in the Quilombola Community of Mangueiras, in Salvaterra, Archipelago of Marajó, Northern Brazil. From the experience with four women and their narratives, I aim to understand how the space is inhabited, how they build their landscapes. I understand backyards as a microcosm, studying the relationships established in/with it involves issues related to a several aspects of social life such as family, politics, cure and shamanism, and reveals ways and perspectives of seeing and living the Marajoara world. In Mangueiras, as in most of the quilombola communities in Salvaterra who are still fighting for the recognition of their lands, women played a decisive role in the political and identity process. They also have a leading role in other areas, including care for backyards and home gardens, implying the sphere of interactions between non-humans and humans; the concerns about their children, the subtle relationships with the sacred and the themselves. This knowledge is passed on through a network of transmission and exchange, often inherited from the relationships of mothers, daughters and grandparents. In this case, secrets, tactics of resistance of a culture, of the women of a people are also at stake. They are knowledge and practices that resist and reinvent themselves in the face of domination processes from the colonial period to the most recent processes of internal and external colonialism. Backyards and women cultivate each other over time towards take care of themselves and their people, reflecting the dominant patriarchal model. But it has a fundamental political facet, which keep these cultures alive, pulsating today.
