Uma análise socioespacial na Ilha do Maranhão Abstact: This dissertation analyzes the My House My Life Program (PMCMV) in the Island of Maranhão and its implications on the low-income segments of society, namely those who earn from 0 to 3 minimum wages, beneficiaries of Band 1. The empirical field is the Residential New Aurora of the Municipality of São José de Ribamar, between 2016 and 2018. From the methodological point of view we made use of the semi-structured interviews, open questionnaires with men and women, beneficiaries of the program, as well as on-site observations. The research focused on the analysis of the housing policy of the Brazilian State in two periods: (dictatorial and democratic) specifically the policy set in the Lula government, with the creation of the Ministry of Cities, the My Home My Life Program, its political and social, its the model of housing provision and the emphasis on the housing deficit beyond the process of social segregation.

The research is based on the understanding that the unequal production of urban space directly affects environmental conditions and the population’s quality of life, revealing processes of segregation, vulnerability, and socio-environmental injustice present in contemporary urban dynamics. As a theoretical foundation, the study engages with authors who discuss the production of space, the right to the city, socio- environmental justice, and environmental racism, understanding that environmental impacts and the precariousness of urban infrastructure affect different social groups unequally. The investigation also incorporates discussions on urban development, urban environmental quality, and water infrastructure, considering the contrasts between socially valued areas and historically marginalized territories. Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative-quantitative and exploratory approach, using bibliographic review, documentary research, field observations, photographic records, spatial analysis, and cartographic elaboration through indicators. Aspects related to urban infrastructure, water supply, sanitation, drainage, vegetation cover, land use and occupation, and the presence of urban facilities were analyzed, seeking to understand how these elements manifest unevenly within the two study areas. It is concluded that the quality of urban space is directly related to the dynamics of territorial inequality and the selective distribution of urban infrastructure and services. The research seeks to contribute to the debate on socio-environmental justice, urban planning, and the right to the city, reinforcing the need for more inclusive and equitable public policies committed to reducing urban inequalities Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6446 2026-04-30T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6389 Título: 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.

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 well Mon, 30 Oct 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6349 2023-10-30T00:00:00Z
