| description | This article highlights two elements perceived at the beginning of our research on the impacts of the Belo Monte Dam: (a) the need to document the stories of the families who are being dislocated and (b) the importance of cataloging the resistance movement to the construction of the Belo Monte Dam. Thus, this article includes excerpts of interviews with families who have been impacted to aid in our understanding of the process of deterritorialization and resettlement in the Volta Grande area of the Xingu River and considers the actions of social movements involved in the resistance of the construction of Belo Monte. Initiated in 2012, this research has the financial support of CNPq and Fapespa and has enabled us to confirm the violation of the rights of impacted families as well as obstructions to the resistance movement by those involved in the construction of Belo Monte. In conclusion, our research demonstrates that the construction of Belo Monte has moved forward without ensuring proper care for affected populations. |

Neste texto, evidenciam-se dois elementos percebidos no início da pesquisa sobre o impacto do empreendimento de Belo Monte: (a) a necessidade de valorizar a história das famílias que estão sendo desterritorializadas e (b) a resistência dos movimentos sociais à construção da UHE Belo Monte. Para isso, arrolam-se fragmentos de entrevistas que permitem entender o processo vivido pelas famílias da Volta Grande do Xingu e as ações de resistência dos movimentos sociais à implantação do empreendimento. A pesquisa está em curso desde 2012 e conta com o auxílio financeiro do CNPq e da Fapespa, o que permitiu verificar a supressão dos direitos das famílias afetadas e a sobreposição dos empreendedores aos movimentos de resistência, de modo que a obra não atende adequadamente às condicionantes básicas reivindicadas pela sociedade local 2016-08-21 2022-03-17T14:47:03Z 2022-03-17T14:47:03Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Avaliado pelos pares https://www.revistas.usp.br/geousp/article/view/122657 10.11606/issn.2179-0892.geousp.2016.122657 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/40489 por https://www.revistas.usp.br/geousp/article/view/122657/122600 Copyright (c) 2017 José Antonio Herrera, Nelivaldo Cardoso Santana application/pdf Programa de Pós-Graduação de Geografia Humana e Programa de Pós-Graduação de Geografia Física GEOUSP Espaço e Tempo (Online); Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2016): Número especial "Amazônia - olhares em parceria"; 250-266 GEOUSP Espaço e Tempo (Online); v. 20 n. 2 (2016): Número especial "Amazônia - olhares em parceria"; 250-266 2179-0892 1414-7416 |
