Trajetórias, fronteiras e identidades - Migração paraense para o Amazonas (1970-2005)

Abstract

The study aims at reflecting issues of borders and identities, constituted in historical contexts of transit / migration between Pará and Amazonas. From a process of evidence of these contexts, we problematize the frontier idea established by the colonial and postcolonial state, but which has always been mocked by experiences and protagonisms of subjects who sought to build their living and survival spaces. This research is part of an effort to identify and recognize the transit of the various social subjects who, historically, have plotted their destinies between the Pará-Amazonas borders. We will focus on this issue, taking as a cut, the experiences of displacements that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century, in the contexts of large projects, with emphasis on the industrial pole of Manaus, as a strong element attracting Paraenses destinations.
