POVOS TRADICIONAIS E INDÍGENAS NO MARANHÃO: violência, fronteiras territoriais e margens da normatização

Abstract

The paper synthesizes aspects of two emblematic socioenvironmental conflicts in Maranhão and their respective processes of resistance and political confrontation. One refers to the Ka’apor indigenous people and another to the families of the Cajueiro Community. Both groups are shaken by developmentalist projects and by a technology of violent powers. The objective of this work is to analyze and analyze some mechanisms of power used in these cases, in order to understand how they affect the disregard of rights and the expropriation of territories. The hypothesis is that we are experiencing a system of colonial and colonial exploitation and the exercise of a necropower against indigenous and traditional peoples. The exercise of powers by agents in networks and in various instances characterizes an indirect private government of colonial administrative practices in the territories. This feedbacks forms of normatization and governability marked by the fluidity and interweaving, on the one hand, of violence and law and, on the other, of the exception and sovereignty.
