Abstract

This Project aims to analyze agricultural producers circulation around Belém do Pará islands, in the context of two local basic nourishment items production, manioc flour and açaí. The arrival of those products at two riverside open markets is the starting point to mapping the circulations and bonds created among marketers and producers in their different subsistence strategies. Their ways of engagement with time and space, related to environmental, climate and cultural factors of their daily life, in constant traffic along rivers and roads, forges in their wayfaring the maintenance of social practices and bonds that arises at the open market. Though, the market is seen as a place of meeting, exchange and integration, where conversations are held, commercial exchanges are made, and news and jokes are shared, strengthening and reinsuring friendship, blood and spiritual kinship ties.
