Descripción
Sumario:There are new agents in the Amazon now (nation-states, multinationals, banks and funds), new interests and new scales of spoliation and financial integration, whose practical results materialized in the territories are of a pattern of violence and conflicts, for example: intimidation, physical and verbal assaults, death threats, assassination attempts and murders. However, there is an emergence of particularities and singularities, in terms of violence and dynamic forms of conflict in the Eastern Amazon. Such particularities and singularities are "visualized" in the west of the Pará state, of which, more recently, it constitutes the stage (of a cartography) of intensification of conflicts, mainly due to the territorialization of agribusiness (fertilizer companies, warehouses, ports, gas stations, multinationals). Considering such discussion, the goal is to describe and analyze the territorial conflicts (TCs) produced with: 1) the traditional community in Rurópolis (Santarenzinho Community); and, 2) the fishing community in Itaituba (Colony of fishermen Z-56) in view of the territorialization of agribusiness. Having as a question to pursue: What are the actors involved and the forms (singularities and patterns) of such TCs as well as the disputed territories and “territory views” in these TCs in the Eastern Amazon, west of the state of Pará, specifically the Santarenzinho community and the artisanal fishermen from Itaituba?
