Camponeses De Várzea E O Trabalho Agroextrativista Na Comunidade São Ciríaco

Abstract

This monograph seeks to present the main spatial practices developed by agroextractivist families in the São Cirático community. The research area is located in the municipality of Santarém/PA, in the Lower Amazonas mesoregion, and is part of the Urucurituba PAE. The research aims to understand the ways in which peasant work in the floodplain is carried out. The study followed a qualitative approach through a literature review that deals with the topic; document Analysis; and field research with families in the community. The group studied is organized and represented by the Community Association, ACAPCSCU. The research indicates that the spatial practices carried out by families seek to maintain social reproduction in the relationship between subjects and the geographic environment through agroextractive work. Among the activities practiced, fishing, agriculture and animal husbandry stand out. However, fishing is the main activity for supporting domestic family units. Furthermore, these individuals contribute to the dynamics of the local economy, as they insert products of peasant labor into commercial circulation, extracting income.
