Abstract

Learning the processes and actions operated by Sugarcane Agrohydrobusiness capital when building the production territories of commodities¸ lead us to take into consideration the structural subordination of work and territory as spatial trumps of the action of the capital manipulative system, essential to the capitalist accumulation process. Thus, we focused in understanding the spatial unfolding caused by the productive restructuration in the Sugarcane Agrohydrobusiness at this second decade of the XXI century, as well as the disastrous consequences to workers. The geographic dynamics of work in the management regions of Araçatuba, Presidente Prudente and São José do Rio Preto (SP) will occupy the monitoring of territorial redefinition, which expresses the contradictions and the class conflicts in the field of Sugarcane Agrohydrobusiness. A central inquiry move us in this project, and through it, we guided our trajectory of profession, research and life, in other words, discover the harmful strategies of capital that result in the systemic degradation of work in the circuit of the destructive development of productive forces in Sugarcane Agrohydrobusiness.
