| Abstract | The central focus of this thesis is the configuration that takes the sociotechnical network of babassu in the Bico do Papagaio-TO region, constructed by the association of humans and nonhumans, and the interface they establish with the strategies of social reproduction and the relations between society and nature. This research attempts to highlight the forms of social reproduction of the babassu’s havesting as a product of this sociotechnical network and the current dynamics of the nature-society relations derived from these strategies. As a starting point, there were formulated three research questions: the first, targeted on the identification and analysis of the social, political and natural convergent and/or divergent elements that have affected the babassu’s harvesting; the second, in the understanding of the interaction of the different actors in the network formation; and the third, in the search of the implication of this interaction within the social reproduction of the families that harvest babassu palm, and in the dynamics of the nature-society relations. The field research was conducted in the second half of 2009 and the first half of 2010. Actor-Network Theory (ANT) was adopted as a theoretical and methodological reference, which assumes the need for an epistemological rupture in the nature-society dichotomy. After analyzing the primary data obtained through ethnographic research, the conclusion is that the changes and continuities occurred in the context of the Bico do Papagaio region, and the social reproductive strategies adopted by the social agroextractivists had produced transformative effects at various levels and intensities, especially in the dynamics of nature-society relations in the sense of producing less harmful results to the environment. On the other hand, agricultural activities (cattle and monocultures) and the silviculture production contribute to produce negative impacts to the natural environment by reducing the threat to the biodiversity and the ways of harvesting babassu. In conclusion, the establishment of the sociotechnical network of babassu in Bico do PapagaioTO, which began with the fight over land ownership, access and preservation of babassu palm, is entirely tied to cultural nuclear categories key to the extractivism such as land, babassu palm, family and work. The land and babassu palms organize the lives of rural families in Bico do Pagagaio, but they reframe the fight over the right to land ownership. Currently, this fight is based on the mobilizations around the free access to babassu palm coconut, preservation of its palm, and against expropriation and the search of adding value to the fruit. |
