description This paper is a part of the results of a study aimed at analyzing the scenario of indigenous communities, verifying the interaction between the mechanisms of stability and change trigerred in the current development process. The main empirical basis of the Surui indigenous community is located between the Brazilian states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso. This group stands out in the current scenario for its ability to articulate with various groups in society, such as their engagement in new environmental projects, and in partnerships with several NGOs, including foreign, large organizations and universities. Having a past marked by the wood exploration and by the intrusion of settlers installed near their territory, Terra Indígena Sete de Setembro, due to the Integrated Program for Colonization, the current indigenous reality of the Suruí conjugates trajectories and temporalities that combine and clash from increased relationship with non-Indians. The methodology chosen was the case study, and the following data collection instruments were used: (a) Notes taking during the course "Economic Activities in Indigenous Lands" and on the reality in the villages of Suruí and (b) interviews with participants of the course, with the Surui, with political actors as well as academics involved in the issue of Rondônia development. The results indicate that there is a polarization between the political actors, the role of academia and the role of Indians in relation to the development process in Rondônia, so that the Suruí emerge as subjects of political action.

Este artigo é parte dos resultados de um estudo que teve como objetivo analisar o cenário das comunidades indígenas, sobretudo verificando a interação entre os mecanismos de estabilidade e mudança acionados diante do atual processo de desenvolvimento. A principal base empírica se constitui na comunidade indígena Suruí cujo território se localiza entre os estados de Rondônia e Mato Grosso. Este grupo se destaca no atual cenário pela sua capacidade de articulação com diversos grupos da sociedade, refletida pelos novos projetos de cunho ambiental e pelas parcerias com diversas ONGs, inclusive estrangeiras, grandes organizações e universidades. Tendo um passado marcado pela exploração madeireira e invasões dos colonos instalados no entorno da Terra Indígena Sete de Setembro em decorrência do Programa Integrado de Colonização, a realidade hodierna dos Suruí conjuga trajetórias e temporalidades que se combinam e se descombinam a partir da intensificação relacional com os não índios. A metodologia escolhida foi o estudo de caso, e foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos de coleta: (a) Observação do curso “Atividades Econômicas em Terras Indígenas” e da realidade das aldeias dos Suruí e (b) entrevistas realizadas com participantes do curso, com os Suruí, com os atores políticos e também acadêmicos envolvidos na questão do desenvolvimento em Rondônia. Os resultados indicam que existe uma polarização entre os atores políticos, o papel da academia e a atuação dos índios no que tange ao processo de desenvolvimento em Rondônia, de modo que os Suruí emergem como sujeitos da ação política. 2017-06-06 2022-03-17T14:31:36Z 2022-03-17T14:31:36Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer reviewed Revisado por pares Avaliado pelos pares https://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/151 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/38787 por https://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/151/150 Copyright (c) 2017 Nathalia Thaís Cosmo da Silva application/pdf Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro Revista IDeAS; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2015): janeiro a junho de 2015; 141-188 Revista IDeAS; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2015): janeiro a junho de 2015; 141-188 Revista IDeAS; v. 9 n. 1 (2015): janeiro a junho de 2015; 141-188 1984-9834 1982-257X
