This thesis aims to analyze the social structures of the field of soybean production in Amazon, as well as the various strategies used by the main actors in society. The primary findings of this study is that the growth of soybean plantations in the Amazon does not constitute mere agricultural expansion, but the result of a planned expansionist strategy of agribusiness grain established on four structural elements: the specialized migration, the land market, the logistical infrastructure of transport and disposal of production and the influence of environmental factors in the organization of productive activity. For demonstrate this strategy, taking as reference the theoretical-methodological of Bourdieu’s fieldwork theory and empiricism as the field of soybean production in the middle region of the Lower Amazon, with the identification of the social dynamics of each element and their relationships, as well as the positioning of social actors in the economic field. Also this demonstrates that in the field of soybean production, key stakeholders are organized in associative networks equipped with internal hierarchical positions among themselves, that in certain situations and moments hold common interests. Thus, it identifies the existence of two large integrated networks by social agents of agribusiness (the producers and agribusiness) and a third formed by social workers who suffer the effects of the field (family farmers, peoples and traditional communities). In the third network agents have in common the "fragile" condition to impose their way of life and maintain their territory before the aggressive expansionist strategy of agribusiness, led by its agents and the State. The study evidences also that the field of production of soybeans is a territory of struggle between antagonistic forms of appropriation and use of natural resources in the Amazon.
