| Abstract | |
This dissertation is a study on the territoriality and temporality of caiçara communities and on the unique ways in which the caiçaras move and experience the transformations of landscapes in Jureia. The history of traditional communities on the south coast of São Paulo is marked by the forced abandonment of lands by hundreds of families and their settlement in the neighborhoods of the cities of Iguape and Peruíbe, after the creation of the Jureia-Itatins Ecological Station in 1986. The ethnographic research accompanies reappropriation of taperas (ancestors\' houses) in 2019, and the maintenance of legal-scientific partnerships (parcerias) of community associations. The cultivation of plants observed in the backyards of houses, on the farmyards of the lands and in the abandoned house of ancestors (taperas) punctuate the caiçara mobility and other creative practices, through which residents of Jureia deal with the restrictions imposed by environmental (meio ambiente) policies. In dialogue with Anna Tsing\'s anthropology, the abusive authority of environmental agencies and their external forms of understanding are translated by the caiçaras into ecological changes, perceived in uncoordinated rhythms (ritmos) composed of non-human entities and in the accelerated way in which paths and sites change turned into bushes (mato) and taperas. Alongside the harmful effects on bodies and on caiçara sociality, the anti-caiçara environmental policy pose a threat to the forms of wealth and other powers that circulate in Jureia. (AU) | |
