Resumo:
Distinct paths of beef production farmers in the municipality of São Felix do Xingu, southeastern Pará were studied. We linked concepts of geographic space and territory in this new pioneer region in the Amazon, with the highest annual deforestation rates, to the notions of paradigms and technological trajectories in a multidisciplinary approach. This work attempts to understand the Amazon reality using various scientific disciplines with emphasis on geography, economy and anthropology. As our core methodology for survey and data analysis we employed the Successive Coherence Analysis in order to carry out ethnographic studies of rural agents and employers to understand the relationship between the paths that develop those agents with the dynamics of the territory. It appears that the relationship between these two categories of agents is mutually dependent, not only related to the division of labor but also related to the geopolitics of land use of the territory.
