This article addresses the question of how the recent political context of Brazil shapes violations of various kinds against Quilombola communities in Brazil. Using data from online news sources, we track violations from 2016 to 2020 related to land disputes, physical attacks and threats, and environmental issues. We show that, despite the legal rights accorded to these communities since the 1988 constitutional reform and subsequent processes of democratisation, vested interests in the agricultural lobby and a later authoritarian turn, especially after 2016, led to a dismantling of social and economic policies for Quilombos. The violations suffered by these communities result from the denial of their collective identities as constitutional subjects and the non-recognition of their dignity, which are the product of historical processes of inferiorisation that have treated some people as non-subjects or not eligible to bear rights, based on colonial classifications but still present in the dominant society.

In Latin America, the land has been an important issue in driving political and social change since the end of the 15th century, when European conquistadores began their colonial rule, to the present. The purpose of this study is to examine the changing meaning of land, by looking at cases of the Latin America's most representative rural social movements, i.e. EZLN in Mexico and MST in Brazil. In particular, this study distinguishes two currents of environmentalism in Latin America: elitist environmentalism and grassroots environmentalism. The former understands nature as a natural resource that can be developed or nature that needs to be preserved from a human-centric point of view, based on the ‘modern Western view of nature.’The latter understands the environment from the perspective of 'socio-nature', which is not simply a nature that is used and appreciated by human beings, but a more-than-human ecological space, that is, a space where humans and nature coexist. In this context, the meaning of land demanded by Mexico's EZLN and Brazil's MST can be better understood from the perspective of grassroots environmentalism. Both the EZLN and the MST call for land reform, which is not limited to the sense that land is arable land in the economic and social sense that must be secured for capitalist production in the process of agricultural modernisation or under a globalised system of agricultural production. Rather, their demand for land is closely related to the demand for productive justice that can sustain a human life through alternative modes of production, rather than the current mainstream model of development, and the demand for recognition of the political space(territory) that can determine these alternative modes of production and ways of life. Thus, land in these movements can be understood as territory as a political and ecological space for alternative development, beyond the meaning of economic and social arable land.

BACKGROUND: Waste production and management from residents and collection for sorting are systems heavily dependent on territorial dimensions. Ergonomic research needs to better integrate such territorial determinants to improve work conditions and design sustainable work systems. OBJECTIVE: Through studies in France and Brazil, this paper analyzes the territorial relations that raise work systems' sustainability challenges for materials recovery facilities (MRFs) and waste management in both countries and examines the links between work activity and territory in MRFs. METHODS: Both studies were based on the principles of activity-oriented ergonomics and used analyses of work activity and sociotechnical systems. The French study focused on interventions conducted over a 42-month period in five MRFs. The Brazilian study was based on a 20-month longitudinal qualitative and quantitative study. RESULTS: In this paper, we argue that territory is a key determining factor in waste production and work. Notably, the consumption patterns of residents and the economic flows within a geographic space determine the waste composition; and the territorially specified public policies, which define technical and social dimensions of waste collection and sorting. However, the territorial dimensions of waste are poorly considered in facility design. Workers' health and sorting system performance are thus affected and negatively compromising plant performance. CONCLUSION: The territory appears as a blind spot in the design of work systems. One of the challenges is to create interfaces and devices that could help to integrate better human activity and waste territorialized anchorage, in a multilevel organization, from local communities to the global recycling chains.

This article advocates the transgression of incumbent theoretical divisions between rural and urban abodes of production and draws on new analyses of contemporary spaces of capital and labour antagonisms in Brazil. It does so to articulate a broadening of the definition of class and class struggle towards an emancipatory praxis that does not necessarily prioritise industrialised workers. The study has a particular focus on the reconfiguration of socio-spatial arrangements linked to 21st century commodity cultivation, extraction and trade and subsequent class tensions on the material and epistemological frontier between (hydro, agro and mineral) mega projects and the autonomous territories of rural subjects. The renewed degradation of conditions for a labour force that has always been precarious, the dissolving dichotomy between proletarianised and peasant labour, and the ongoing resistance to corporate capture by communities is evoked to contrast distinct metabolic relations within rural territories with the objectification of labour and nature under capitalism. The analysis reveals new configurations of class domination, tension and counter movements. Many critical scholars, particularly those in the Global South, have been attentive to alternate readings of the world by indigenous, African descendent, peasant and agro-extractivist communities that may be unfamiliar yet underpin vociferous, and often fatal, resistance to capital accumulation. The task to effectively situate these struggles within a theory of broader, heterogeneous class struggle and integrate this 'wealth' of collective struggle and knowledge towards societal transformation remains important work in progress. In this spirit, the paper offers some possibilities for making new conceptual and material connections between rural and urban productive spaces and across currently fragmented class formations and identities.

In Brazil, the working class has been losing rights and suffering with the discontinuation of public policies. The current government's actions have been reflected in the increase of extreme poverty and, consequently, in the country's return to the hunger map. The new coronavirus pandemic has aggravated this circumstance. It is in this context that the food donations made by the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (mst) [Landless Rural Workers Movement] and other socio-spatial and socio-territorial movements constitute important solidarity actions aimed at combating hunger. This work seeks to critically analyze and dimension the mst's food donations. To do so, we executed bibliographic research and semi-structured interviews. It also sought and systematized news articles published by the mst, referring to donations made from March 2020 to March 2021. The survey indicates that food donations are a form of resistance and denouncement of the public power's absence and expressing solidarity. These actions reaffirm the need for a land reform.

South American countries built an integration agenda that resulted in the Union of South American Nations. After the discontinuation of this agenda, the Latin American Integration Route (LAIR) project became an important sub-regional geopolitical link. By connecting the two South American ocean coasts, the LAIR project will facilitate logistical access from the Midwest region of Brazil to the Pacific basin and will intensify trade, investment and people flows on a subcontinental scale. In the border town of Porto Murtinho, Brazil, RILA has been transforming urban land uses, due to the attraction of investments and the expectation of local development. Concomitantly with the positive socioeconomic projections, this Bioceanic Road Corridor has triggered deleterious effects. In the real estate segment, the increase in demand, in an urban perimeter limited by river dikes, has raised the value of properties. The repulsion of poor families to areas beyond the urban perimeter, which are susceptible to flooding, and to the Paraguayan city of Carmelo Peralta, is one of the consequences of this process.

Following an epistemological position of broad and historical view in geographical approaches, the society-nature relationship is established as a common point in various schools of thought, supporting, furthermore, in contemporary times, a socio-environmental geography, on which a geography of waters emerges. As well as the reflections carried out here on a theoretical and practical basis, I propose a greater geographical significance of the research approaches involving water, water resources, and water security, contributing to theoretical-methodological assumptions around Hydrogeography. For this, two approaches were initially carried out, clarifying the global, regional and local scales of the hydrological cycle, and presupposing an epistemological conception of water resource as territorial resource and territory as category to reveal the way in which the appropriation and uses of this resource occur, important conditions to better delimit the water crisis, which, has as a consequence an increase in conflicts related to agricultural and mining export activities, and revealing Brazil as one of the main exporters of virtual water, while a significant number, about 35 thousand of Brazilians are officially deprived of access to water.

The present work intends to approach the heritage education project called "O Vale Perdido", which was developed in the Cubatão city [Brazil]. The research contextualizes the territory, the rapid process of industrialization from the second half of the twentieth century, defines some concepts about heritage and heritage education and the empirical processes. The space in which the project was developed, Vale do Itutinga Pilões, received teachers and students from the municipal public network in a work that required the interactive and multidisciplinary participation of the teams involved.

Morro da Piedade is located in Vitória (ES), Brazil, and has been experiencing a process of resident evasion since 2018, due to the dispute over territory between groups linked to drug trafficking. In this context, movements and collectives emerged that articulate and question the relationship between the State and the territory. This article aims to analyze the attempts to redefine space, which took place between 2018 and 2021. The theoretical-methodological framework adopted is that of Marxist critical theory. The research instruments are case study, participant observation, interviews, data analysis and literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transitioning towards renewable energy sources is crucial in mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Global energy consumption is expected to increase 50 % by 2050, meaning one of today's main challenges is complying with those demands without tampering with the uncertainties of global climate change. To address climate change renewable energy sources are essential and wind power plays a great role in the energy matrix. Brazil is one of the front runners in the energy transition, where wind power has expanded since the early 2000's. The state of Bahia, in North-eastern Brazil, is currently the region where wind energy is expanding the most. However, conflicts related to territoriality and justice aspects are increasing in the state due to the fast-expanding wind energy sector. This study applies document and content analysis to explore the multiple narratives regarding the wind energy expansion in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Framing theory and theories addressing power struggles and conflicts in relation to the energy transition will guide the analysis of the documents included in the material. Based on the analysis of the Bahian case, this study shows that different actors frame the matter of wind energy expansion differently depending on their positionings. Civil society and local perspectives are not present in policies and decision-making processes, including the planning and installation of wind energy parks in the studied case. The results suggest that inclusion and participation of local actors, stakeholders and the civil society is essential to ensure a just and sustainable transition to clean energy sources.

The formation and construction process of the Amazon region intensifies and transforms after the mid-twentieth century, guided and organized by the State and the market. Parauapebas, located in the Southeast of Pará, arose from a new economic frontier, focused on an industrial project for mining that attracted workers from all regions of Brazil, during the period of the military government, called Programa Grande Carajás (PGC), at the end of the 1970s. Through globalization, the municipality is inserted into the modern economic-political system. Our general objective is to critically analyze the offers of technical courses in a city economically marked by mineral extraction. Thus, we analyzed the labor market for the years 2018 and 2019, related to the 10 technical-level occupations with the highest employment balance. The data from the General Register of Jobs and Unemployed (CAGED) showed that, in general, all the occupations had a positive balance. This is important to think about, replan, and offer courses for these occupations at the Federal Institute of Pará (IFPA), being able to replace those that have low employability for courses that are demanding manpower, highlighting the need for courses in the areas of Forestry Technician and Technician in Environmental Control, as well as undergraduate teaching courses.

The terms territory and community were adopted by occupational therapy in Latin America approximately 30 years ago because of the social and economic experiences of its countries. To understand the formation of the concepts of territory and community by occupational therapists in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia. A conceptual review of the specific literature in journals, databases and books published in Latin America between 1990 and July 2020. The two most frequently recurring authors of publications in each country were interviewed. 74 publications were selected. The first definitions of these concepts date from the late 1990s. Dialogue with other areas of knowledge began in 2002. Although the terms are conceptually little developed, their use in occupational therapy in Latin America evidences the understanding that the singularity of people and groups is inseparable from their social history. Occupational therapy in Latin America has appropriated notions of territory and community from studies in other areas and the practical experiences of occupational therapists, but little improvement has been observed in the proposition of specific concepts. There is a need for further research on the theoretical-conceptual foundation of the profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the construction of peasant territorial resistance in Brazil, as well as their potential. Peasant territorial resistances are actions based on peasant territories, temporalities and territorialities. These are actions, struggles, agendas, practices, movements, techniques and socio-territorial technologies that aim to guarantee greater autonomy to the peasantry in food production, freeing them partially or totally from the shackles of capital. Understanding the dimensions, scales and characteristics of peasant territorial resistance in Brazil, especially those generated within the scope of socioterritorial movements, in an agrarian context that increasingly expropriates, marginalizes and subordinates the peasantry, is the contribution of this work to geographic agrarian and related areas.

Introduction: Interpretations from Brazil identify a thematic set of studies and scholars about the country as, territory, nation and formation and national identity, which emerged throughout the nineteenth century. Geography in its trajectory as a modern science has developed important interpretations of Brazil. Objective: The purpose of this article is to bring to the debate studies developed by Brazilian geographic science about Brazil, in order to demonstrate how this science studied the country, as a totality and, also, to reflect on the country from this optic. At the heart of the debate, we raise the question about the ability of Geography to offer interpretations of Brazil. How been, historically, associated with the Government, with intervention processes and territorial planning, and dedicated to the studies of the present time, would be the Geography able to offer interpretations of Brazil or would it be more structured to offer descriptions and explanations of the country or part of it? Methods: Based on surveys and bibliographic and documental analyses, to outline an answer, we discuss the expression "interpretations", and a set of works called "Interpretations of Brazil" and "Brazilian Social Thought". Starting from the contextualization of these ideas about Brazil, we first visited themes, debates and thinkers of the national project, and then we arrived at the interpretations and interpreters of the country. Finally, we focus on Brazilian geography and its country studies, presenting geographers who thought about Brazil, and their main interpretations of the country. Results: 17 scholars of Brazilian geography were highlighted, graduated before and after the constitution of the scientific field of Brazilian geography, with their respective legacies and most important contributions to the interpretation of the country and the intervention of its territory. Conclusion: Geography elaborated valuable studies and interpretations about the country, in essayistic and descriptive formats. After the second half of the 20th century, due to the expansion of scientific protocols, descriptive and explanatory interpretations became dominant in Brazil. This phenomenon can also be observed in other areas of the human sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the conservative thinking as a political and social movement supported by the theory of conservatism. As a way to substantiate that, we present its structure and main assumptions, as well as the conceptions of its main authors and creators, such as Edmund Burke (classic) and Russell Kirk (modern-contemporary). The methodology is based on immateriality in its relationship with materiality, that is, on the dialectics between conservative thinking and the formation of conservative territories of power, with illustrative examples from Brazil and other countries. The theses on conservative thinking put forwards arguments and evidence present in actions such as the Government proposals of Donald Trump in the USA, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, and the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, among others.

The family farmer seated territorialized in the Rio Grande do Sul more precisely in the Gaúcha Campaignim planted new productive-economic and social forms that transformed the landscape and constituted the territory of the settlements. The seated have sought to be integrated in to the productive process by new forms of production, organization, relationship with the environment, there covery of their knowledge and their autonomy on the basis of their culture and economic-social-political organization. These are meanings, strategies and actions that have marked the lands cape of settlements. The Gaúcho territory has reconfigured, the landscape of the Campaign has changed with the increasing concentration of settlements in the municipalities. It is the region of domination of the latifundium that has lost place for family farming, for Agroecology. They are seated family farmers engaged in the production of agroecological food and in the protection of the environment of the settlements of Agrarian Reform of south-west Rio-Grandense.

This article aims to problematize elements that characterize the everyday life of quilombola territories located in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the Brazilian Midwest. In summary, we start from the perspective that quilombola communities represent significantly stigmatized spaces, in which the subjects who reside in them are victims of manifestations of racism and prejudice, in such a way that the State apparatus is unable to undertake strategies and public policies that support quilombola communities and the people who live in them. As a methodological subterfuge, this research used a qualitative and critical approach, in which interviews and participant observation processes were carried out in seven quilombola communities located in different municipalities in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. We noticed that quilombola territories are permeated by a very dual daily life: on the one hand, there is a reality of isolation and precariousness in life; on the other hand, there is a context of optimism by the quilombola communities, who undertake empowerment tactics, trying to value the history and culture of the territory, in addition to the desire to develop activities that make communities more dynamic. Without intending to exhaust the theme, this article ends by calling for quilombola communities to be considered potential and viable spaces for the manifestation of forms of life and existence that break with the homogenizing and Eurocentric logic.

Why are space and territory important to social movements and how do they produce them? Despite the always apparent centrality of space and territory, mediated and appropriated by social movements around the world (for example: camps, protests, land occupations, indigenous resistance, occupations of land and buildings in urban areas, neighborhood organization and struggles for environmental issues, for education, health, food and other public policies, women's activism, LGBTQIA+, feminists, students, etc.), there has been a surprising lack of attention to this issue by scholars from various fields of knowledge, for example, English-speaking geographers. This article advances the reflection on the actions of socio-territorial movements as an analytical category whose central objective is to analyze the mediation of space and appropriation of territory. We contrasted the concepts of socio-territorial movement, social movement and sociospatial movement in four axes of analysis. First, how space and territory are produced as a central strategy for the achievement of a movement's objectives. Second, space and territory produce the identities of movements, in their actions, generating new political subjectivities. Third, space and territory are places of political socialization that produce new values and change circumstances. Fourth, through processes of territorialization, deterritorialization and reterritorialization, movements can create new institutions. These axes are subsequently elaborated through the comparative analysis of two case studies: the Movement of Landless Rural Workers, a peasant movement organized in all regions of Brazil, and the Tupac Amaru Neighborhood Organization, an urban movement in northwestern Argentina. The comparison is made as an expansive way of analysis to open up the concept of socio-territorial movement and indicate potential lines of investigation for studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to cany out a temporal and territorial analysis of homicides against girls and women, between 2015 to 2019. The methodology used was a retrospective ecological study of temporal trends. Our main findings include: 1) increase in homicide among girls and women m the states of Alagoas 42.6%, Sergipe 33.3%, and Santa Catarina 28.7%. 2) rates above the national average (3.7) among girls under 1 year old in the states of Roraima (232.7) and Amazonas (18.3). 3) indigenous population with the highest proportional homicide rate (9.5), followed by brown (6.4), and black (4.4) populations. The results enable some reflection on measures that can mitigate the problems and also prevent each type of violence, planning and implementing specific public policies with a focus on the most violent territories.

This article aims to understand the hotelier services offered by owners of hotels and real estate, in addition to presenting the testimonies of subjects who expose expectations and analyzes in the face of a life that depends on manifestations and movements of tourist activity in the territory. In this context, the qualitative approach to interviews and fieldwork was considered as a research method. The results were mainly conceived from a comprehensive perspective, because they do not imply quantification, but the interpretation of the studied phenomenon. Thus, testimonies were obtained from workers in the tourist routine to show that the dynamics governed by the tourist activity spread in the urban area, by reconciling this space with tourism; therefore, Caldas Novas, in the state of Goiás, Brazil, is seen as a tourist city.

Mining has been an agent of intense transformation of Brazilians territory since the colonial period. The Central Region of Brazil, due its location and constants disputes of the regional elites, it gains highlight as a logistical zone where large state projects have been materializing and serving the logic of the present market in each period. Strategic minerals such as gold, copper, niobium, and nickel, through the newly developed technologies, gain prominence in the global scenario for the manufacture of the indispensable materials used in modern society. This paper presents the importance of mining and logistics in the region named by Souza; Pedrosa (2016) as Roteiro da Missão Cruls for Brazil. The research of secondary sources found in specialized scientific works, as well as secondary data extracted from bodies such as IBGE, SAED, ANTT and ANM were used in the systematization for mapping the geographical information. This paper is a diagnostic study of the reality of mining in this region of Brazil in the contemporary context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the late twentieth century and the early twenty-first century, local players and clubs claimed urban spaces for the practice of 'futebol de várzea' (amateur football) in several Brazilian cities, including the state capital of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte. Case studies of these processes reveal new aspects of the Brazilian sports universe. A collection of oral histories from players and clubs illuminate a more diverse array of approaches to the community dimensions of Brazilian football culture when compared to the international image of the nation in scholarship on 'the country of football'. This study uses sources and methods from oral history innovations as it developed in Brazil as well as contextualizing the introduction and evolution of football studies in the country from the 1970s when the field was not recognized by academia to the contemporary period when research on the topic has produced significant qualitative and quantitative studies recognized by scholars in many disciplines.

From the territorial perspective of development, in the territory of the Fourth Colony of Italian immigration, located in the center of the state of Rio Grande do Sul / Brazil has been investing in tourism to leverage its development in line with other productive activities. As a strategy, tourism has been used to compose the commercialization and dissemination narratives of the specific natural and cultural resources found in the territory itself. Despite the public incentive to develop the activity, the creation of tourist routes and itineraries did not meet the expectations of local entrepreneurs. In this aspect, the main objective was to analyze the aspects that inhibited the process of tourism development in the territory. Methodologically, the study has a qualitative cut and the information was collected through primary and secondary sources. As a result, the study found that despite government support, local actors were not included in the tourism development process and the fragility of social capital prevented many tourism activities from succeeding over the years. However, tourism has resumed its growth process driven by local actors who jointly prepare and at the same time experience recreational activities, rural trails and paths, festivities and gastronomic events.

The decentralization of public management occurred in Brazil contributed substantially to the formation of local institutional arrangements, especially those of an intermunicipal and territorial character. The formation of these arrangements is expressed in different formats, such as consortia, associations, forums and committees. In a territory, different institutional arrangements can coexist and operate, each with its own development agendas. Therefore, strengthening the relationship between public, private and social actors - distributed in specific arrangements - becomes a demand and a basic element of territorial governance. Our objective is to analyze, through the Sudoeste Paulista territory, the performance of its institutional arrangements, as well as the relations and articulations between them in a supposed dynamic of territorial governance. This study used two instruments to collect the data, which were bibliographic searches and semi-structured interviews. Our analyzes considered two dimensions in the arrangements: the political and the administrative dimension. The results and discussions lead us to the understanding that the dynamics of territorial governance - in the Sudoeste Paulista territory and referring to the articulations between arrangements -, although incipient, already present relative results of cooperation, especially in coinciding agendas between the arrangements. In this study, the arrangement that best contributed to territorial governance was the CDR, which is strongly linked to Higher Education Institutions (IES) and Science and Technology (ICTs), which adopts participatory processes, which have agents trained to promote coordination and that, when compared with the other arrangements, he built innovative projects.

The Xingu Indigenous Park (XIP), located in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, is home to about 5.500 indigenous people from 14 ethnic groups, showing sociocultural diversity. The deterritorialization of indigenous families from areas outside the XIP occurred during the process of ethnic removal. Such situation constitutes the central axis of this article, which seeks to describe and analyze the trajectory of a family, descended from Amary ethnicity, in the construction of a new village, and fighting for their ethnic resurgence. The methodology was centered on ethnography through fieldwork, where, from the daily experience, it was possible to observe, interview, and participate. The construction of the Amary village by this family is part of a general process of multiplication of Xinguan villages, resulting, among other factors, from the socio-territorial conflicts that occurred due to the insertion of capitalism and the need to establish/define ethnic identities. The results point to the urgency of the creation and implementation of legal mechanisms that guarantee the right to land and the maintenance of life and culture of Xingu populations.

The forms and processes immanent to the Compound territories in the contemporary world bring countless social issues to the geographic debate, and this effort requires an expanded interpretation of the relationships that involve both urban and rural spaces. In view of this, the present study is based on some theoretical analyzes of the "territory" to seek to contribute to highlight the social constructions of the peasant movement. This is an effort that gains validity due to the growing supremacy of current agribusiness, which "in theory" configures a re-territorialization of peasant places in favor of monocultures. However, using bibliographic clippings that support peasant struggle and resistance, here is a reflection that deconstructs this "maxim" of the disappearance of peasant territoriality, an understanding that remains prominent in the analyzes of agrarian geography. Far from introducing a dichotomized approach (agribusiness / campenisate), here is the permanence of peasant territory concomitantly with the great agrarian-capitalist property, an interpretation that is perfectly feasible as a public policy in Brazil and in the world.

The article discusses the Apinagés community located in the city of São João do Araguaia (PA), before the future deterritorialization by the communication of the Marabá Hydroelectric Power Plant (UHE) in the period from 2010 to 2017. The main objective was to understand their perception because of the uncertainties that have been drawn in the imaginary in the context of the future deterritorialization and (dis) construction of identity by the news of the construction in the HPP, the positioning of the State, Centrais Elétricas do Norte do Brasil S / A (ELETRONORTE) and construction company Camargo & Corrêa. The research is qualitative and quantitative and opted for the philosophical orientations of dialectics and phenomenology. The concepts of territory, territoriality and identity contributed to an interdisciplinary view of traditional characteristics in the way of life of the Apinagesenses and reveals a culture based on the relationship with the Tocantins River and threatened by the hydroelectric plant in a social, economic and cultural context. In summary, it is hoped to highlight the conflictual relationship established between those affected by dams, the State and the Consortium, responsible for the materialization in the territory of enterprises that changes the natural cycles and the traditional way of life.

The new model of agricultural production that was established in Brazil between the 1960s and 1970s was contradictory, as the public policies of rural development reinforce the social inequalities in the countryside with the deterritorialization of thousands of rural workers, especially in the state of Paraná. This process contributed to the organization of new territories and new territorialities. Likewise, in recent years, in the region of Campo Mourão, new territories have emerged in rural areas and, among them, the landless rural workers': a part organized in the form of settlements, implemented by the municipal power in partnership with the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform, others in the form of camps that are transformed, through struggle, into settlements. For a better understanding of this movement of de-reterritorialization of the landless rural workers, we have addressed, in our research, the process of territorialization of the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST) in the Geographical Microregion of Campo Mourão. The research had a theoretical and empirical character with interviews and statements from the landless rural workers of the settlements and camps Irmã Dorothy and Nossa Senhora do Carmo, located in the municipality of Barbosa Ferraz. These movements are forms of power and resistance to the order established in capitalist society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
