Abstract:
|
"The work refers to the analysis of the sociocultural construction of the common in
the Brazilian context in the Serra do Espinhaço Meridional (Minas Gerais), which houses
peasant and quilombola groups. The approach was made from human geography in dialogue
with anthropology and political economy. The logic of social reproduction of these groups
combines agriculture-breeding-collection with a broad understanding of ecological dynamics
that enable diversified economic strategies. Agro-food strategies combine environments from
600 to 1,400m; traditional knowledge transmitted/adapted by generations; food culture; water
and adapted genetic resources. Reciprocity relations are in the appropriation of land, in the
distribution of the territorial resources between the families that make up the groups, in the
social relations of production and in the political action that promotes adjustments of use /
management of resources (soil, water and biodiversity). The lands of common use among the
peasants and lands of collective use among the quilombolas analyzed are processes of
territorialization with specific territorialities according to the meanings of the land for the
groups and the agrarian praxis based on customs. The difference lies in the territorial and
economic practices of land appropriation and other territorialized resources, as well as in the
social relations of production and division of the fruits of labor in it."
