Título: Apropriação do relevo e vulnerabilidade socioambiental: análise integrada das unidades de paisagem no município de Arapiraca - AL Autor(es): Gomes, Adsson André da Silva Abstract: The appropriation and occupation of landforms in urban spaces are key factors in the intensification of geomorphological processes and in the generation of socio-environmental vulnerabilities, especially in cities experiencing rapid growth and insufficient territorial planning. The central objective of this thesis is to analyze the impact of land use on the establishment of areas of environmental vulnerability within the landscape units of the municipality of Arapiraca, Alagoas, located in the Agreste region of Alagoas, the second-largest urban center in the state of Alagoas. The study is grounded in a systemic approach, based on General Systems Theory, the geosystem concept, and ecodynamics, integrating physical-natural and socioeconomic variables to understand landscape units and their levels of environmental vulnerability and stability. The methodology involved the application of geoprocessing techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including the production of thematic maps of geology, geomorphology, soils, land use and land cover, climate, and hydrography. Environmental vulnerability was assessed using the methodology proposed by Crepani et al. (1996, 2001, 2008). The socio-environmental analysis was complemented by the construction of a sustainability index based on demographic, economic, and infrastructure indicators derived from IBGE census data for the years 1991, 2000, 2010, and 2022, allowing for an evaluation of the temporal evolution of sustainability conditions in the municipality. The results indicate that urban expansion in Arapiraca has occurred in a fragmented and uneven manner, largely disregarding geoenvironmental constraints. This process has intensified erosion, mass movement, flooding, and the degradation of water resources, particularly in landscape units associated with dissected relief surfaces and aggradational plains. These areas exhibit the highest levels of environmental vulnerability, especially in zones of urban expansion and informal occupation. Conversely, areas with better infrastructure and more structured urban planning show higher levels of socio-environmental stability. The study concludes that landform appropriation driven primarily by economic and real estate interests, without adequate consideration of environmental limitations, increases geomorphological instability and amplifies socio-environmental risks. The proposed ecological-economic zoning emerges as a strategic tool to support territorial planning and environmental management, contributing to vulnerability reduction and the promotion of more sustainable urban development in Arapiraca.

Título: Os camponeses no carrossel do capital: a monopolização da terra camponesa e a produção de morango Autor(es): Santos, Eliana Vieira dos Abstract: Capital’s expansion in the countryside is anchored on the direct and indirect subordination of territory and labor relations. Capital establishes itself through the expropriation and appropriation of land and labor, as well as in the integration mechanisms of peasant production into agribusiness productive chains, always oriented towards its necessity of reproduction and self-valorization. In this movement, it imposes specific forms of territory use and production organization that satisfy its interests, subjecting peasant workers to submission relations, although without the typical classic wage labor. The present thesis analyzes this process through the productive circuit of the strawberry, a crop that, while not listed as a top-tier agricultural commodity, has established itself as a strategic vector of agribusiness expansion over peasant agricultural areas. In this context, the research/thesis aims to comprehend how the monopolization of peasant production materializes through agribusiness’ control of production and circulation, revealing the circularity of institutional and economic relations that sustain the system. The investigation’s locus is the municipalities of Bahia’s Center-South, where this dynamic manifests itself through the financialization of strawberry production via the funding system executed by companies in the sector of in natura and frozen fruits commercialization, especially the Peterfrut Group. The results report that peasant insertion in the strawberry production through corporate funding that seeks to promote the transformation of peasant agriculture into a “tiny agribusiness”, encouraging the farmer to sever ties with forms of life and sociability that characterize his class under the discourse of entrepreneurship and high revenues. In practice, however, this process incorporates the farmer into capitalistic agriculture in a dependent and oriented way, deepening the productive and economic subordination. In seeking to analyze the essence of reality, the research is based on dialectical historical materialism articulated with a qualitative approach, making use of methodological procedures such as bibliographical, field, documentary research, semi-structured interviews, and direct observation of peasants' reality in the municipalities covered by the research. The research/thesis highlights that the territory monopolization in Bahia’s Center-South has historical grounds associated with the expansion of monocultures such as coffee and eucalyptus, a dynamic that renews itself alongside corporate fruit farming. In this scenario of capital expansion in the countryside, the peasant lives running around the carousel of “opportunities” imposed by capital as a condition of his permanence in the countryside. The conclusion is that the opportunities offered through funding of strawberry production are not effective alternatives to empower peasant agriculture, but mechanisms of expropriation and territorial control. As it highlights the peasants' persistent resistance, adaptation, and recreation capacity, which reaffirms the land as a space of life and social reproduction.; La expansión del capital em el campo se ancla em la subordinación del territorio y las relaciones de trabajo, tanto de forma directa cuanto indirecta. El capital establece relaciones de expropiación y apropiación de la tierra y del trabajo, bien como mecanismos de integración de la producción campesina de las cadenas productivas del agronegocio, siempre orientado por la necesidad de su reproducción ampliada y su auto valorización. Em ese movimiento, se imponen formas específicas de uso del territorio y de la organización de la producción que atienden a sus intereses, sometiendo los trabajadores campesinos a relaciones de sumisión, aunque sin la alienación típica del pago clásico de salarios. La presente tesis analiza ese proceso a partir del circuito productivo de las fresas, una cultura que, por ahora no figure entre las principales materias primas (commodities) agrícolas, constituyéndose en el vector estratégico de la expansión del agronegocio sobre áreas de agricultura campesina. En ese contexto la investigación/tesis tiene como objetivo comprender como se efectiva la monopolización de la producción campesina por el agronegocio con el control de la producción y de la circulación, revelando la circularidad de las relaciones económicas e institucionales que sustentan el sistema. El foco de la investigación comprende los municipios del Centro-Sur Baiano, donde tal dinámica se manifiesta a partir del financiamiento de la producción de las fresas vía sistema de fomento, practicado por las empresas del sector de comercialización de frutas naturales y congeladas, con destaque para el Grupo Peterfrut. Los resultados demostraron que la inserción del campesino en la producción de las fresas por medio del fomento empresarial busca promover la transformación de la agricultura campesina en un “agronegocito”, induciendo al agricultor a romper con las formas de vida y sociabilidad característica de su clase social, sobre el discurso del emprendimiento y de la grande facturación. En la práctica, al total, ese proceso incorpora al agricultor a la agricultura capitalista de manera dependente y direccionada, profundando su subordinación económica y productiva. Em la búsqueda de analizar la realidad en su esencia, la investigación se fundamenta en el materialismo histórico dialéctico, articulado a un abordaje cualitativo, apoyándose en procedimientos metodológicos como el levantamiento bibliográfico, investigación de campo mediante investigación documental, realización de entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación directa de la realidad de los agricultores campesinos de los municipios envueltos en la investigación. La investigación/tesis evidencia que la monopolización del territorio en el Centro Sur Baiano posee raíces históricas asociadas a la expansión de monoculturas como el café y el eucalipto, dinámica que se actualiza con la fruticultura empresarial. Em ese escenario de expansión del capital em el campo, el campesino vive “rodando” en el carrusel de “oportunidades impuestas por el capital como condición para su permanencia en el campo. Se concluye que las “oportunidades” ofrecidas por el fomento a la producción de fresas no constituyen alternativas efectivas de fortalecimiento de la agricultura campesina, pero si mecanismos de expropiación y control territorial. Como también se evidencia la persistente capacidad de la resistencia, la adaptación y recreación de los campesinos, que reafirman la tierra como espacio de vida y de reproducción social.

Título: Nos trotes dos cavalos: espaços e tempos das cavalgadas, cavalhadas, vaquejadas e pegas de boi – SE Autor(es): Santos, Daniele Luciano Abstract: Throughout the Sergipe territory, the maintenance of several cultural manifestations with riding animals occurs in line with the different forms of appropriation, even due to the persistent satisfaction and symbolic meaning given by the participants and, in part, to the growing interest of the private sector and of municipal and state management. In this context, the object of the thesis is the phenomenon in movement through the different forms of appropriation of these cultural manifestations that result in their resignifications translated by (re)inventions, coexistences and overlaps. And it aims to analyze the appropriations and re-significations of the manifestations with riding animals, namely: cavalgada, cavalhada, vaquejda and pega de boi in Sergipe, and specifically: (i) understand the timeline and the meanings of these manifestations; (ii) apprehend the representations and relationships undertaken for their permanence in the state; (iii) investigate the cultural, political and economic relevance of these expressions of culture; (iv) ascertain the different meanings attributed by the representations to these manifestations and (v) discuss the perspectives of the studied manifestations. To this end, a dialogue was established with authors to understand the meanings of appropriations in the dynamics of cultural production: appropriation as a feeling of ownership and belonging, of recognizing something as yours and of recognizing yourself as belonging to something; appropriation inserted in the power game as material property or in the context of the politicalideological manipulation of memory Qualitative research was taken as a path that suggests an integrated analysis of the phenomenon in the context in which it occurs and of which it is part, for this the investigation seeks to 'capture' the forms of appropriation of the manifestations studied through a phenomenological approach, with an ethnogeographic route articulated to the thought of rhizomatic multiplicities. The procedures and instruments adopted were bibliographical and documentary research, observation, field diary, survey and record photographic, questionnaires, interviews and treatment of information through discourse analysis. In this way, the forms of appropriation are identified as determinants for the multiplicity of the process of resignification, invention, reinvention, overlapping and coexistence of cultural manifestations that reveal themselves between essence and appearance in territories and landscapes.

Título: Mulheres rurais e pluriatividade: caminhos para a emancipação Autor(es): Rocha, Patrícia Quirino Abstract: We understand that, in the current socioeconomic organization, genders do not enjoy equal rights and women are destined by patriarchy to domestic work, typically unpaid activities, and submit to processes for the sake of the family, while simultaneously nullifying and being nullified as social subjects. The history of women shows that this condition changes from the moment women become aware of their rights, claiming access to education, paid work, participation in politics and public life, bearing in mind that domestic spaces are part of the private sphere. For women living in rural areas, the subjects of this research, the unequal power relations between genders are intensified, as in these territorial cuts the struggles and demands of the feminist movement happen more slowly compared to urban areas. Our geographical focus is on the "periphery" of the feminist penetration field: rural domestic spaces. Our focus is on women living in the rural area of the municipality of Euclides da Cunha/BA, who seek pluriactivity, in addition to supplementing family income, affirming themselves as subjects of rights and making themselves heard and respected, constituting a daily challenge. Thus, our thesis rests on the understanding that women who live and work in rural areas find in pluriactivity a mechanism to break with the patriarchal structure of the family unit and, in this way, to protagonize their own stories. We know that the territory and the relationships established within it are dynamic, therefore there is an urgency to produce theories that reflect reality. To achieve our research objectives, we will use a qualitative approach, seeking to evidence the reality of rural women from encounters with them: conversations, looks, and laughter, methodologically recorded in field diaries, photographs, interviews, and questionnaires recorded by mobile device. In this way, it was possible to understand why women become pluriactive and seek, in paid activities outside the domestic environment, a means for their financial independence and, consequently, their emancipation. Although it is too early to say that rural women are independent or emancipated, it was possible to observe during the research that their perception of themselves is changing, as well as the power relations in rural domestic spaces.
