A Geografia do cotidiano: dinâmicas territoriais e territorialidades na Ilha do Lagedo - São Francisco / MG

Abstract

Floodplain agriculture is an extremely important activity for the population living along the São Francisco River, generating food, income and a peculiar way of life and culture, led by the vazanteiros. In this sense, the present work aims to understand the ways of life of the vazanteiros on Lagedo Island and the management system as a sustainable traditional practice, the process of territorialization and construction of local identity through the geography of everyday life. The elaboration of this work is based on an interactive perspective between the fields of Geography and Anthropology, for which we used as methodology: bibliographic analysis, semi-structured interviews and ethnography, in order to understand the territorial dynamics and territorialities. Thus, the elaboration of this work starts from the perspective of territorial analyses of the vazanteiros and the territorialities that are built through empirical experiences and local traditional knowledge, marked by a deep knowledge of the rules of nature and a feeling of affection for the territory lived.
