Abstract

In this dissertation, the projects of the division of the Pará territory based on the creation of the Carajás state and the Tapajós state were studied. These states were created on an accumulation border that is to say territories where the accumulation by spoliation is amplified. These territorial division movements represent, fundamentally, the interests of fractions of the capitalist class in claiming ownership of the territories in question (south-west and west of the Pará), this appropriation has, in geographic ideologies, an inseparable link with the geographic expansion of the capital to the Eastern Amazon.
