Abstract

The present work presents a study about the process of deterritorialization of the Costa Catalão ribeirinha community of the municipality of Iranduba after the territorialization of this community in a terra firme environment in the “Novo Catalão” settlement. Emphasizing the natural and anthropic factors that influenced the departure of these streams to the mainland, the process of transition to settlement and how this is the process of adaptation to the new environment, physical and social to which this subject is inserted. From the point of view of the method, this work makes use of two methodological approaches the phenomenological hermeneutic and the critical dialectical history. The objectives are to analyze the process of reterritorialization of the riverside peasants on land and highlight the factors that influence the process of deterritorialization of the residents of the Costa do Catalão Community to the settlement and to present in a structured way the transition period to the mainland. This adaptation may vary from farmer to farmer, but it is true that there is now greater safety in relation to natural hazards and they have the possibility to produce all year round, while in the floodplain it was only possible during the ebb and dry season. Moreover, in addition to remaining peasants as before in the ribeirinha community of the Costa do Cataão, they live in a friendly and affectionate way, maintaining the same community ties.
