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.

Curt Nimuendajú e as narrativas míticas tembé: Revisitando uma produção etnográfica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-07-04) SANTOS, Glaucia Silva dos; MORAES JÚNIOR, Manoel Ribeiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2429279552706202; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6986-7671
Revisiting an ethnography by Curt Nimuendajú that integrates a repertoire of mythical narratives of the Tembé Tenetehara indigenous group constitutes the research base of this dissertation. The ethnographer Curt Nimuendajú, a German who migrated to Brazil in 1903 and became, over forty years, an expert connoisseur of indigenous groups, published in 1915 in the Zeitschrift für Ethnologie the text Sagen der Tembé-Indianer (Pará und Maranhão) in which he gathered ten mythical narratives of the Tembé Tenetehara. In this way, the present dissertation proposed to know about the context and the methodological orientations that allowed the production of such ethnography at the beginning of the 20th century. Thus, the research followed a biographical perspective of Curt Nimuendajú, which helped to visualize the course of his initial training in the field of study on indigenous populations, allowing to know the context of the ethnographic encounter with the Tembé Tenetehara in two moments, the first being in the mediations of the SPILTN's indigenist policies in the Gurupi River region, and the second in the dependencies of the religious mission of the Lombard Capuchins in the Pará municipality of Igarapé-Açú. In both contexts, Nimuendajú's ethnographic agenda focused on knowledge of the Tembé language and cosmology, research endeavors that were in line with the guidelines of German ethnology in vogue at the time through salvage ethnography, which he knows from the works of the German Americanists who are referenced in their ethnographies.

A dendeicultura em Igarapé-Açu/Pará: um olhar sobre as relações de trabalho que tipificam o trabalhador rural na Agroindustrial Palmasa
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-29) CARDOSO, Marlon Kauã Silva; RIBEIRO, Tânia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1193175057010343; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1683-3659
The objective of this research was to analyze the work relationships that characterize rural workers in the palm oil agroindustry in Igarapé-Açu, notably analyzing Agroindustrial Palmasa. The palm oil agroindustry, at a macropolitical level, was territorialized in the northeast of Pará through state developmental actions in civil-military governments in the 1960s, planned by the Superintendence for Economic Valorization of the Amazon (SPVEA) and the Superintendency for the Development of the Amazon (SUDAM), and, it has a new impulse with the neo-developmentalism of the 2000s, associated with sustainable development, through the National Biodiesel Production Program (PNPB) and the Sustainable Palm Oil Program (PSOP). These led to integration projects, to obtain the Social Fuel Seal (SCS), between palm oil producers and family farmers in municipalities in the northeast of Pará. Through qualitative methodology, combining interview, bibliographic and quantitative data, we verified that the most recent public policies did not cover the economic activities of Agroindustrial Palmasa, in Igarapé-Açu. In the region, contracts predominate, but only for purchase and sale, an associative relationship, between medium/large rural palm oil producers and the company itself. In this way, direct relations between classes gravitate between medium/large farmers and farm workers responsible for working on the farms.

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.

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.

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).

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 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.

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.

O movimento social contra o aterro sanitário em Marituba (PA): um estudo sobre o fórum permanente ‘fora lixão’
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-11-07) MORAES, Fabrício Tavares de; PEIXOTO, Rodrigo Corrêa Diniz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9872938064820413
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.

Mudanças e continuidades no Salgado Paraense: dinâmica das relações sociais em torno do universo da pesca artesanal em Marudá/PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-10-31) COSTA, Layse Rosa Miranda da; CARDOSO, Denise Machado; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2685857306168366; FURTADO, Lourdes de Fátima Gonçalves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1828475659148260; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5243-4607
The research area of this dissertation is Marudá, located in the municipality of Marapanim/PA, within the Salgado Paraense microregion, and part of the Mestre Lucindo Marine Extractive Reserve, established in 2014. It is important to highlight that studying the universe of artisanal fishing is complex, as it involves various variables marked by social indicators, such as environmental issues, climate, gender, education, public health, and others. However, given the variables presented by the field of research in which I work, this study aims to highlight, through my participant observation and ethnography conducted between 2018 and 2024, the dynamics observed in the social relationships surrounding the fishing universe in Marudá. During fieldwork, many developments emerged from the observed evidence, opening paths for future projects and research. In this context, tradition and modernity constantly intertwine in the fishing lifestyle of the region's inhabitants, provoking both changes and continuities, especially regarding what fishing activity represents for them. Thus, another objective is to emphasize, based on my ethnographic research, what artisanal fishing currently represents for the sons and daughters of Marudá, considering that this relationship is no longer the same as it was in past decades of the 20th century, as changes and continuities occur constantly, where fishing activity was more intense. Other aspects addressed also include issues related to tourism, a category that has been transforming the way of life of the residents. Since the construction of the first roads and highways that connected and still connect Marudá/PA to the large and medium-sized urban and commercial centers of the State of Pará, such as the municipalities of Belém and Castanhal, the region has received many tourists, especially during vacation periods and holidays, thus causing some impacts. Currently, other means of communication have been transforming social relationships around the universe of artisanal fishing in the locality, such as internet access, as the digital medium has become integrated into everyday life, facilitating communication and mobilization of social categories, both internal and external, that is, beyond the territorial boundaries that make up the district of Marudá and Marapanim. In this way, the concepts of changes and continuities will metaphorically serve as the oars that will help me navigate the tides of this dissertation. It is also important to note that this research was conducted in a pandemic context, which generated many difficulties for fieldwork, as well as demands arising from the aftereffects of COVID-19.

This dissertation aims to present, based on an ethnography, the trajectories and narratives of women who found at the Ver-o-Peso fair, in Belém do Pará, opportunities for income generation and that without permission by the Municipality of Belém to the use of space at the fair, survive through their informal, autonomous and mobile work. The field research was divided into three moments: a) arrival at the field b) immersion in the field c) meeting women who work at the fair. It was carried out between the months of April 2018 and February 2020. Bibliographic data were collected to provide theoretical support for anthropology and sociology, as well as some quantitative data from the research universe. 66 women were interviewed, aged 17 to 69 years. Qualitative research proved to be essential for the knowledge of life trajectories of women belonging to the informal sector; also, through participant observation, of their work at the fair, essential work activities for daily subsistence. It was observed that the fair represents a welcoming space, which absorbs a large portion of the unemployed population in the city and at the same time represents a challenge for the control of public power and the locus of criminal practices. Informal work is abundant and a hallmark of the Ver-o-Peso fair, mainly represented by the female figure in the space.

O rio que embaçou no horizonte: narrativas e percepções sobre os impactos urbanos da construção e operação do terminal da Cargill em Santarém - PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-02-27) PIMENTA, Karina Cunha; SILVA, Carlos Freire da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7489756177996098; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0202-8678
This study investigates the urban impacts of the installation and operation of the Cargill terminal in Santarém, Pará (Brazil), focusing on the socio-environmental transformations resulting from this intervention and the lived experiences of the city’s residents. The research emerged from an ethnographic approach initiated in 2017, aiming to understand changes in urban landscapes through the narratives of residents who, prior to the terminal’s installation, lived in the former Vera Paz beach area and were displaced to the current Laguinho neighborhood. From this perspective, the study reflects on the effects of the eradication of this leisure and sociability space, expanding the analysis to the economic dynamics of agribusiness, the expansion of soy monoculture, and the impacts of large infrastructure projects. Based on a qualitative methodology, the research employs oral narratives, life histories, interviews, poems, songs, and document analysis to explore how the transformations caused by the Cargill terminal have shaped new forms of sociability and resistance. The dissertation interrogates how processes of economic exploitation reshape urban and environmental dynamics, addressing not only economic consequences but also impacts on the "sensible" (affective, sensory, and symbolic dimensions) and the subjectivities of residents. The study also highlights the reconfiguration of the "sensible," symbolized by the disappearance of the former Vera Paz beach, and how this represents an infringement on the right to the city. It reveals an acceleration of socio-environmental violence, rendered invisible by mainstream media, and proposes an interdisciplinary lens for analyzing urban issues in the Amazon, integrating emotional and cultural dimensions often neglected in such debates. Ultimately, this work aims to pave the way for deeper investigations into Amazonian landscapes and the new forms of struggle and belonging emerging from these socio-environmental conflicts.

Trajetórias docentes e formação continuada em relações etnicorracias na Amazônia paraense

The brazilian educational scope, in the 2000s, was marked by the advancement of public poli-cies for the afro-brazilian population. Among it, there is the law 10.639/03 that made the teach-ing of african and afro-brazilian History and culture compulsory during school education. From that, official documents from the National Education Council (CNE) emphasized the need for continuing teacher education as one of the main means to enforce what the law demands. In this perspective, the methodology of the present research was social trajectory based on biog-raphy (BOURDIEU, 2006; COSTA, 2015; LEVI, 2006; SCHWARCZ, 2013) in conjunction with the non-directive interview technique (MICHELAT, 1987), aiming to understand how teachers of school education, who attended a postgraduate course in ethnic-racial relations, were affected by such continued training and how they perceive it as part of their experiences pro-cessed in to social trajectories in the Amazon, state of Pará. This research had three interlocutors identified by the codenames Ayòbámi Adébáyò, Onyebuchi Emecheta and Édouard Glissant, who are postgraduate in “Especialização UNIAFRO: Política de Promoção da Igualdade Racial na Escola; III Curso de Especialização Saberes Africanos e Afro-brasileiros na Amazônia; Im-plementação da Lei 10.639/03”, promoted by Afro-Amazonian Studies Group (GEAM/UFPA) and financed by the Brazilian Ministry of Education. To comprehend the trajectories of these teachers, I analyze their biographical reports supported on concepts of race, racism, gender, morenity and place prejudice because the reports of their experiences, during and after post-graduation, were around the conflict in learning about particularities of ethnic-racial relations, especially in the Amazon, a place marked by an exogenous and homogenizing knowledge pro-duction that has fixed it on image like “forest” and “demographic void”, making its populations invisible, especially black men and women, in the face of the national axis. Thereby, it was possible to understand that during the continuing education, with the themes and debates, the interlocutors managed to accumulate new knowledge that they could take to their classrooms; during and after the postgraduate course, they realize that the subjects at school still see racism as isolated individual behavior, an idea in which they seek to intervene in order to appropriate the knowledge of postgraduate to rethink together the structures of oppression presents in eve-ryday life and school. This learning about ethnic-racial relationships also affected their personal lives, changing or maintaining their understanding of their social trajectories in the context of the recognition of the oppressions and resistances they experienced. Also, it was possible to understand that the knowledge transposition to the classroom was a laborious process, but ac-cording to the teachers, they achieved some success in attracting the attention of their students during discussions and activities around the ethnic-racial relations theme, something that, even on a small scale, influenced the students’ mentality.

Tratamento diferenciado: sobre reconhecimento e consideração em torno do sistema biomédico no Alto Trombetas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-01-25) FIDELIS, Juliana Cardoso; CARVALHO, Luciana Gonçalves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9870905738650852; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7916-9092
This research presents aspects of claims and strategies of access to biomedical health services, originally reserved for the Mineração Rio do Norte employees, as they have been presented by eight comunidades remanescentes de quilombo in Trombetas (Oriximiná / PA). It is the demand for recognition and consideration as moral and rights subjects forged by the quilombolas living in the Território Alto Trombetas II, who, organized, negotiate access with Mineração Rio do Norte to conventional/ hegemonic medicine. In this context, considering the insufficiency of public services rendered in several segments in the territory, as well as the transformations of the "traditional health model" operating based on knowledge passed down through generations and still activated in the comunidades, it is intended to present reflections on the conditions of access to biomedical services, how they are experienced by the populations and dealt with in the discussions/speeches related to the mining company. In this way, we start from the hypothesis that the liberation and the conditions of access to these services constitutes a moral issue of consideration, based on the development of a notion of "differentiated health", that considers them and that enables them to perceive social esteem, as moral and rights subjects. This research develops through ethnographic work that is methodologically based on the multisituated approach, by which we follow the fundamental relationships based on the emerging discourses that make up the fields of negotiation and understandings about recognition.

“Vai rolar essa diamba?”: uma etnografia de usos medicinais, religiosos e recreativos da maconha em um bairro periférico de Belém/PA

This work aims to identify and understand different uses of marijuana by residents of a neighborhood on the outskirts of Belém/PA. The presence of marijuana could be perceived in recreational, medicinal and religious contexts. People who live in the same territory experience police repression, spatial segregation, moral prohibition, and the high cost of the drug derived from marijuana in a scenario in which recreational use suffers strong repression, while medicinal use has its own consequences. discrete and selectively flexible access. I carried out this ethnography in different places within the neighborhood: the condominium - a well-urbanized leisure space with a landscape very different from the rest of the neighborhood; the margin - space that is divided between a fair during the day and headquarters of sound system parties during the night; and in the streets and squares - on the outskirts of both places. The first entries into the field were due to my personal experiences, which were added to what was experienced with the interlocutors in the production of ethnographic data. To protect everyone involved in the research, places and people had their names hidden or fictionalized. The results of the ethnographic work will be presented in three sections. First, we will address recreational uses, discussing differences in police repression of users based on racial criteria, and how the stereotype of the pothead has historically fallen on blacks and the poor, supporting policies of spatial segregation to this day. Then, we will present the religious uses in a candomblé terreiro in the neighborhood, in which marijuana appears as another ritual element, albeit invisible. The third section will reflect on the unequal difficulties that women in the neighborhood face in seeking health care with medical marijuana, due to a hegemonic morality, and the racism experienced in attempts to access health services.
