Abstract

This thesis is grounded in a field work realized at the Tranzamazon road, especially in a piece of this road, nearby the cities of Altamira and Brasil Novo, at Pará state in Brazil. This piece of the road was part of agricultural frontier expansion project occurred in the 70's and was the stage to a huge migration flow from many states in the country. Looking to these two facts we proposed to follow the trajectories of those migrants locally known as colonos by focusing on the oral narratives. Looking forward the daily life and work we could also follow the trajectories of the places constituted by them. In that place another category of local residents share the space with the colonos: os daqui. By following those people trajectories through these two categories we can perceive the construction of a relation with the place that is given by the relation with the land and the road, whose dynamics was influenced by the colonization project and practices brought from the migrants original place of living. The process that has began with the arrival of the colonos and goes until the emergence of the os daqui shows, mainly, how a particular place and a particular way of living are constituted there. Finally, we hope that by understanding the trajectories of those people and the places built by them we have contributed to a comprehension of the results of recent colonization police and the role of the people in the production of places and ways of living.
