Memória, paisagem e transformação: os moradores do Laguinho e os impactos da construção e operação do terminal fluvial de granéis sólidos da CARGILL - Santarém (PA)

Abstract

Where once was located one of the beaches of the easiest access to the population of the city of Santarém Vera Paz beach, popularly called "Veroca", a place of leisure, fishing and soccer championships, is now known as Vera Paz woods. The place was the target of a great territorial dispute when this heritage of inestimable socio-cultural value was impacted by the installation of the solid bulk river terminal, by the multinational Cargill. Today what we see there is a complex of port and storage structures located on the right bank of the rio Tapajós. In this process, families were removed from their riverbank dwellings, where they planted and fished their food. In this monography, I seek to follow the reflections and make use of conceptual tools, mainly about the idea of landscape, of Tim Ingold (2017) and Anna Tsing (2019). In this context, the present work has as main objective to reconstitute part of this process, and the transformations caused by the implementation and operation of the Cargill terminal, supported by the concept of "landscape in disturbance" to dialogue and reflect on the transformations that have occurred in recent decades through the memories and accounts of life of the residents of the neighborhood of Laguinho, Santarém (PA).
