"Sou coletivo". Aspectos sobre esta noção em um contexto de disputa na Comunidade Repartimento dos Pilões, Almeirim-PA

Abstract

This work is an offshoot of research activities of Cultural Heritage outreach program in the Amazon, from the second half of the year 2015 until the end of the year 2017, in the community of Saint John of the Pylons, located in the District of Monte Dourado in the municipality of Almeirim, Pará State. It is an approach that allows to interpret the political directions, cultural, economical and cosmological context of dispute studied, from the aspects of the conflict introduced among the residents, who were divided into two groups: "collective" and "individual". This initial approach of the case suggests that on the basis of the conflict, there is a disparity between the logical and interpretations of the subject about the land use and environmental resources, which vary between "individual" and the "collective". However, deepening the reflection on the case, the notion of "collective" seems to express more than territorial logic and land aspirations. The research unfolded to understand, more specifically, the meanings behind the notion of "collective", refuting your simple, immediate and direct association with the collective use of land, and clarifying which elements translated by this notion, in fact, oppose this the other group, which identifies itself as "singles". As methodological contributions predispus me in making the use of interpretive data that emerge from local speeches and the Ethnography of the conflict, including participant observation.
