Diálogos com a metrópole: um estudo antropológico sobre moradores da ilha do Maracujá em relação de proximidade com Belém (PA)

Abstract

This thesis shows the results of an ethnographical research did with the locals of the Maracujá island, focusing on their proximity to Belém City and having as locus an area that begins in the Açaí Port, located in the Jurunas District in Belem and goes up to the Maracujá island, enphasizing in this relation aspects concerning the daily movement between the banks. The approach of the research develops the notions of flow and border, pointing out also the fixity in the home place. Both, fixity and movement are embodied in everyday life, observed in the corporality that mediates the dialogue- while complex game - between the banks.
