This thesis analyzed socio-spatial impacts on the life scales of people affected by a "big project", the Belo Monte HPP, built on the Xingu River, Brazilian Amazon. These "great objects" promote the re - de - structuring of the territories where they are implanted, causing a strong impact on the existing and historically constituted spatiality of river dwellers, peasants, natives, as well as residents of the outskirts of the city of Altamira - Pará - Amazônia. We then analyze the "spoiling" force of these large enterprises on "subalternized" populations, based on a scalar-based theoretical proposition, which involves considering space as a "polymorph". Space-spatiality, technique and scale were used as methodological tools for the realization of the reading of our empirical reality. The life-scale impacts of "deterritorialized" people on both mobility and immobility are felt in view of the spatial condition of belonging, appropriation and identification that different subjects carry out in their territories and places. Nonetheless, as a response to this spillover process, a series of strategies of struggle and resistance are verified in relation to "developmentalist" projects. Despite the Brazilian government's hand in hand with iron hands, it was a strong opposition to the Belo Monte HPP project. Social Movements of different scales of action, from different places on the planet, joined the impacted ones of Altamira and region, constituting, therefore, a great field of confrontation against the "biopolitical" conception applied by the Brazilian government and the national and international capital. This confrontation was carried out by the rural and urban poor and by the traditional populations, under the leadership of the social movements ("Xingu Movement Vivo Para Semper", "Women's Movement") of Altamira and region, together with the important work of the Public Ministry Federal, Public Defender of the State of Pará and the work of NGOs (as a Socio-Environmental Institute), fought and struggled to ensure that the territoriality and place of the socio-residents affected by the set of works and actions that gave rise to Belo Monte HPP somehow, be compensated. An intense and enduring social struggle has caught on in the Xingu region so that the (re) structuring effects of this "big project" can be (somehow) offset. This struggle of the hegemonized / subalternized subjects, which was called "insurgent centralities", was established between subjects of politically and economically (asymmetric) and unequal economic power, the Brazilian State and Capital being on one side and, on the other spatially affected and its protection network, has generated deep conflicts of a spatial nature. Despite the important achievements of social movements and those affected, the strength of the "state of exception" used to implant Belo Monte Power Plant by the Brazilian Government, in the midst of a democratic period, has promoted impacts on the scale of people's lives that are immeasurable and irreparable. Implicating the need to propose and invest in other and new forms (sources) of energy generation in Brazil and the Amazon as a way to overcome this scenario of spoliation, which is a product of the "spatial adjustment" of capitalism.

Grandes projetos e a relação com os recursos naturais na fronteira amazônica: os acordos de pesca como instrumentos moderadores de conflitos em Limoeiro do Ajuru

Since the 1960s, the Brazilian Amazon has suffered from several territorial transformations, an immediate result of the process of institutional integration and federalization by the military regime. The impacts caused by this development model, based on large enterprises, fell upon the social environment, directly affecting local populations and traditional peoples, as well as on the environment, by causing a series of irretrievable damage to the region's natural resources. The implementation and operation of these large projects on the frontier of the Brazilian Amazon, however, began to present a territorial dynamic marked by intense conflicts, particularly in the state of Pará. Fishing resources make up a considerable part of natural resources, which were considerably impaired by the large mining and hydroelectric projects, causing pollution of the water bodies, the silting of rivers and a decrease in fishing stocks, considered the main food-economic source of these traditional communities. It is in this perspective that the fisheries agreements emerged, acting as empowering instruments for the fishing communities and conflict moderators in the fishing territories. The fundamental objective of this article, therefore, is to understand how fisheries agreements may act in moderating conflicts over fishing resources, resulting from the implementation of large enterprises, seeking to assess the repercussions of this in the municipality of Limoeiro do Ajuru in the state of Pará. The main conclusion is that the fisheries agreements are capable of acting in the governance of the territory by strengthening a series of actions within the scope of sustainable management of fishing resources and local development in its social, economic and environmental aspects.
