Conflito territorial no Lago do Tracajá em Careiro Castanho/AM: uma análise das dinâmicas socioespaciais a partir dos hotéis de selva

Abstract

The Amazon, vast in its grand extension, exuberant and diverse in its fauna, flora and culture. Its nature is not alien to the logic of capital accumulation in tourism activity, demonstrating the use value of the territory for its different actors, and which, consequently, can lead to contradictions in various perspectives in which they are involved. When analyzing Lago do Tracajá, we observe a vast number of tourist facilities, that is, jungle hotels and inns that appropriate a hegemonic image highly propagated by the media that provides these contradictions between Man and the environment. In this way, the present work is based on analyzing the socio-spatial transformations of Lago do Tracajá through the historical-criticaldialectic method, achieving an understanding of the material and immaterial changes and permanence of the community's relations with its territory and, equally, its relationship with the hotel chain. This cannot be seen separately from spatial transformations, in which they contribute to the emergence of territorial conflicts in Lake Tracajá due to the high demand for the flow of tourists during sport fishing seasons, demonstrating that the commercialization dynamics of the Amazon, in addition to reinforcing generalized views about the region, is capable of influencing the way in which the Tracajá community perceives and reproduces itself in its space. Keywords: Amazon, Tourism, Territorial Conflicts.
