Abstract

Fighting for land always happened in Brazil`s history. Landless peasants have long chosen for taking land without previous notice as a way of conquering it. This has happened in northern of Minas Gerais as well. This dissertation aims to understand the territorialities engendered in the struggle, occupation, resistance and daily life of the peasants of the Dois de Junho PA, Olhos D'Água-MG. For the execution of this research, the methodological procedures were based on bibliographical studies to substantiate the theoretical part, direct research through field work in the PA Dois de Junho, photographic records, attending association meetings and conducting semi-structured interviews. It was observed in PA Dois de Junho both functional and symbolic practices. The settlers' territorialities extend through various environments, floodplains, rivers` banks, waterfalls and lagoons. This is where work and leisure are developed, based on solidarity relations and compassionate ties. The territorialities related to the functional practices, evidenced by the internal organization of the settlers, the way they organize the productive space, the ways of producing, the individual and collective labor relations, internal representation such as the PA Dois de Junho Association. Territorialities produced from the experiences of these subjects with their territory, expressions of a cultural content of divergent ways of life with meeting points that allow them to territorialize collective spaces.
