As metamorfoses do trabalho e no espaço a partir da dendeicultura em Tomé-Açu (Pa): estudo de caso na Vila Forquilha

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the metamorphoses in Tomé-Açu space, using the Forquilha village as a case study, from the introduction of oil palm culture in the region. We seek to emphasize the metamorphoses in place focusing on the reinterpretation of the work as a link between man and nature, to observe the changes in its general context in Forquilha Village, we understand that there is a change at work, there are changes in the relationship between man and nature. To better understand the spatial configuration and the social dynamics of the village it is necessary to understand the nature of the work before the arrival of companies; thus, it is characterized at first the geographical situation that was established prior to installation of Biopalma and Galp, focusing on the relations of peasant production, where instead predominated work as a means to obtain money for the purchase of other commodities necessary for its existence. The following are the public policies and programs that made possible the installation of companies and ultimately characterize the new geographical situation, highlighting how labor relations metamorphose in Forquilha village, from the arrival of palm culture in Tomé-Açu, and how it echoes in the other dimensions of everyday life of the villagers. The results reveal new ways of working, the presence of wage labor, the expansion of the trade sector and services founding new employment opportunities and a decrease in peasant productive labor which makes a peasant in a rural wage. The existing system of partnership between the company and the family farmer observed in the commercial capital circuit; and financial capital by establishing the presence of the lease, land sale the palm culture companies, ensure the village Forquilha a new social dynamic.
