Relações de trabalho na comunidade ribeirinha Santo Ezequiel Moreno em Portel, Marajó-PA

Abstract

Our task in this work was to try to understand how the advance of capitalism over non-capitalist territories affects labor relations in traditional communities in the Amazon. The starting point is the case study of the Santo Ezequiel Moreno community, located in the interior of the municipality of Portel / PA, in the 1970s and 1980s. The methodology involved the presentation of the method of analysis and exposure, the importance of the qualitative approach, the methodological procedures for the exposure of the object and the techniques used in the research. In the discussion of the results we can see the coexistence of capitalist labor relations in non-capitalist territories. These relations depended on the mediation of social individuals who were willing to trade commodities. Still in the synthesis and discussion of the results we defend that the social reproduction of the residents of the community, in the decades of 1970/80, therefore, depended on the realization of products of the work in the exchange for money through atypical labor relations to capitalism. The conclusions reveal that labor relations involved the exploitation of the labor force in self-employed forms and the production of surplus value. These determinations appear in the exposition of research as a starting point for capitalist production on atypical bases.
