Abstract

This project aims to deepen theoretically and methodologically the mapping actions proposed within the scope of the Thematic Project's objectives to which it will be linked. In this sense, the research actions focus on the use of qualitative methodologies, mainly of a participatory nature, which may help us to deepen the understanding of the transformations caused by the expansion of agrohidro-business and its consequences on wage-labor, from/of land, peassant, community etc. That is, to understand the fissures and warps produced in the territorial movement of the working class, as a reflection of the domination of society and space by the sociometabolism of capital. In this perspective, we intend to investigate the production-reproduction of the working class in its transversality (gender, generation, ethnicity and race), both in the domination, as in the struggles and resistances that occur in the rural and in the urban space of Pontal do Paranapanema.
