description This paper analyzes the new land occupations of the common land located in the dry forest, over the northern Peruvian coast, in the context of forced displacement due to extreme climatic events and severe flooding. Peruvian peasant communities in the area go back to the sixteenth century, having customary rights over thousands of acres. However, over the last decade, agribusinesses have expanded their industry over communal land, creating new conflicts. Through ethnographic fieldwork, observations, and in-depth interviews between the years 2013 and 2018, this paper analyzes the case study of the peasant community of Catacaos. It presents the different territorial techniques used by the agribusiness for taking control over common lands, as well as emergent new narratives amongst local families looking to legitimize negotiations with private actors, showing the progressive loss of control over common lands and communal territory.

El artículo analiza las nuevas ocupaciones en tierras comunales del bosque seco de la costa norte peruana, en el contexto del desplazamiento forzado de familias comuneras debido a recientes fenómenos climáticos. Las comunidades del bosque seco tienen una historia que se remonta al siglo xvi y poseen derechos consuetudinarios sobre miles de hectáreas. Sin embargo, en la última década, el avance de empresas agroindustriales sobre estos territorios ha generado nuevas disputas. A partir del estudio de caso de la comunidad campesina de Catacaos y en base a un trabajo de campo que recoge observaciones y entrevistas en profundidad realizadas en diversos periodos entre los años 2013 y 2018, se muestran las técnicas territoriales desplegadas por las empresas para apropiarse de tierras comunales, así como el surgimiento de nuevas narrativas entre las familias comuneras, que buscan legitimar la negociación con la agroindustria y evidencian una pérdida progresiva de control comunal del territorio. O presente artigo analisa as novas ocupações em terras comunais do Bosque seco da costa norte peruana, no contexto do deslocamento forçado de famílias comuneiras devido a fenômenos climáticos recentes. As comunidades do Bosque seco têm uma história que remonta ao século xvi e possui direitos consuetudinários sobre milhares de hectares. No entanto, na última década, o avanço de empresas agroindustriais sobre estes territórios tem gerado novas disputas. A partir do estudo de caso da comunidade camponesa de Catacaos, e com base em um trabalho de campo que recolhe observações e entrevistas em profundidade realizadas em diversos períodos entre os anos 2013 e 2018, o artigo mostra as técnicas territoriais desenvolvidas pelas empresas para se apropriar de terras comunais, assim como o surgimento de novas narrativas entre as famílias comuneiras, que buscam legitimar a negociação com a agroindústria e evidenciam uma perda progressiva de controle comunal do território. 2020-04-16 2022-03-22T19:01:51Z 2022-03-22T19:01:51Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7736 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.7736 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/96514 spa https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7736/8135 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7736/8412 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7736/8413 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7736/8414 Derechos de autor 2020 Territorios http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Territorios; No. 42-Esp.
