Os modos de vida na cidade: Belterra, um estudo de caso na Amazônia brasileira

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the Belterra ways of life . We analyzed two time periods (1934-1945 / 1995-2011) of the social life of the place, to identify how the action of the Capital, based on governmental support, moved to the Brazilian Amazon, has appropriated large pieces of territory, destroyed or disrupted the ways of life in the name of the requirements international market. In the first period, attempted to identify how was the process of reintegration of migrants into a city-company Ford Industrial Company of Brazil, based on creating a hierarchy sociofuncional Fordist production system and a restriction of living of Americans and Brazilians. In the second period, we analyzed the presence of soy in the city and the around it. The rural and urban are contained in the city simultaneously and socio-cultural practices that are not made by the opposition. The connection between the two periods lies in the changes of "ways of life" pre-existing, the predatory use of nature and the enunciation of stereotypes by "outsiders" against the population of the place with the shelter of speech development. The techniques used were field observations, interviews, informal conversations, the bibliographic, documentary and photographic, allowing the construction of maps that summarize these social movements. We could do interviews with semi-structured questions to address the two time periods considered in our research. Thus, we observed that practiced in the city, where it mediates between the place and the whole world, hybrids present in everyday life and the context of its performance tell us about the Amazon and in particular the presence of ethnic ( quilombola and indigenous), the rural and urban life since the sub-space that is not realized by the oppositions created by abstract thinking.
