Abstact: This dissertation analyzes the current process of identity emergence of the Anapuru Muypurá
people, located in the municipalities of Brejo and Chapadinha, in the Lower Parnaíba region of
Maranhão. The study takes as its star Ting point the documentary Brotos Originários (2022, 16
min) by myself, whose production and impact propelled this ethnographic investigation. The
research is based on participant observation, interviews, audiovisual records, photographs,
literature review, and analysis of documents indicated by the people themselves. The study
examines the political mobilization and reorganization actions of the people, as well as the uses of
audiovisual productions in processes that relocate colonial images, memory, and imaginaries.2025-12-16T00:00:00ZInternacionalização na Universidade Estadual do Maranhão: mobilidade e Sul Global nas percepções da comunidade acadêmicahttps://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/63892026-08-14T18:33:19Z2026-05-20T00:00:00ZTítulo: Internacionalização na Universidade Estadual do Maranhão: mobilidade e Sul Global nas percepções da comunidade acadêmica
Abstact: This research analyzes, from the perspective of historical materialism and drawing on concepts
such as coloniality, imperialism, and Marxist dependency theory, how the internationalization of
higher education manifests at the State University of Maranhão (UEMA) and how it may
reproduce or challenge relations of dependency, power, and coloniality within the world-system.
It adopts a historical-structural approach to understand the formation of the university and of
academic internationalization, highlighting their non-neutral character and their insertion within
the hierarchies of the world-system. Methodologically, the study is based on the application of an
online questionnaire to the academic community, aiming to investigate perceptions of
international mobility and relations with Latin America and the Global South, allowing for the
testing of hypotheses regarding the valorization of central countries and the reproduction of
asymmetries. The results indicate a dissociation between declared knowledge and actual mobility
experience, as well as a predominance of preferences for destinations in the Global North,
revealing the internalization of historically constructed hierarchies. It concludes that international
mobility operates as a social practice mediated by power relations, reproducing patterns of
dependency and coloniality, albeit permeated by mediations and contradictions that point to
possibilities for transformation. Finally, the study argues for the need to re-signify
internationalization, orienting it toward more autonomous and cooperative forms within the
Global South.2026-05-20T00:00:00ZResistências locais ao desenvolvimento globl: Cajueiro e Maruda na luta pelo direito às suas territorialidadeshttps://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/63492026-08-14T18:33:10Z2023-10-30T00:00:00ZTítulo: Resistências locais ao desenvolvimento globl: Cajueiro e Maruda na luta pelo direito às suas territorialidades
Abstact: The present work calls into question the development, based on territorial disputes
between mega enterprises “versus” traditional communities, these being, specifically,
the implementation and expansion of the CLA “versus” Marudá (Alcântara-MA); and
the implementation of Porto São Luís “versus” Cajueiro (São Luís-MA). The dispute
arises from the moment that institutionalized agents in the form of capital and the
State declare interests in a territory and compulsorily expropriate local communities
already certified by the State itself. The case analyzes will be carried out from the
perspective of decoloniality in the light of Mignolo (2020), privileging the narratives of
agents subordinated to the hegemonic structures of capital and their social effects.
The interviews carried out for this research, others collected in other academic works
and speeches observed in some public hearings in/from the community are
presented in this work, with the intention of accurately presenting the individual and
collective interests of the research agents. “The method of development and
explanation of cultural phenomena, part of the objective practical activity of historical
man”. (KOSIK, 1926, p. 39). We understand here that the individual is inserted in the
social and historical totality, therefore, inseparable from nature and reality. By
understanding this human praxis of organization, in the light of Kosik and Mignolo, we
realize that subjects are producers of their own reality, trying to transform it even in
the face of legal plots that are called for in an attempt at ethnocide. This study
verified that the process of confronting the traditional communities in question is
active, and through social mobilizations, these people resist for their territory and the
right to exist, based on the contradictory and unequal perception of “development”
that has been occurring for generations. these communities. In this way, the entities
and agents under analysis are in constant movement brought here in their collective
and individual interests that add up and will no longer add up to a reformulation of the
concept of development (because this paradoxical capitalist system no longer has
salvation and touches on its end), but in the applicability of an existing and efficient
model, given its existence for thousands of years: living well or living well2023-10-30T00:00:00ZA organização popular do espaço público: uma análise a partir da experiência do Comitê da Praça das Arvores no complexo Cohab Cohatrac em São Luís do Maranhãohttps://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/62922026-08-14T18:33:14Z2023-01-01T00:00:00ZTítulo: A organização popular do espaço público: uma análise a partir da experiência do Comitê da Praça das Arvores no complexo Cohab Cohatrac em São Luís do Maranhão
Abstact: The use of public space involves a complexity of perceptions that go beyond the urban
dimension and permeate the construction of social and political relationships. From
this perspective, a study was developed on the popular organization of public space:
an analysis based on the experience of the tree square committee in the Cohab-
Cohatrac complex in São Luís do Maranhão, with the aim of analyzing the dynamics
of action constituted in the free public space organized based on the experience of the
Praça das Árvores Committee in the COHAB-COHATRAC Complex, such as the
collective uses and appropriations on the floor of the square, conceived as a place of
multiple meanings that redesign this urban space, since the square is a place of
contradictions and antagonisms. For this, the bibliographical research methodology
was used, combined with field research through participant observation, photographic
records, documentary analysis and testimonials from its “users”. The aforementioned
study approached the theme based on the experience of the construction process of
the Praça das Árvores Committee after the urban planning qualification, which raised
questions about the implications of the institutionalization process of the
aforementioned committee on political and community autonomy, pointed out in the
dynamics of usufruct in the everyday life in this urban socio-community scenario. This
study took historical and dialectical materialism from a Marxist perspective as its
theoretical-methodological contribution. As a result of the research, it was found that
institutional interventions are impacted by community action in urban production, or
even how these actions impact the autonomy of the popular committee2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
