Land regularization and knowledge regimes: notes on the south of the state of Amazonas (Brazil)¹ 1 This article emerged from my experience in land regularization processes in which I participated in the south of the state of Amazonas. The stimulus to develop the reflection came from participating in two events: as coordinator of the table “Ações em Terras: Ocupar, Retomar, Demarcar, Mapear e Caminhar”, during the II Meeting of Ethnology, History and Indigenous Policy, in September 2018 at the UFSCar and as a debater at the panel “Policies and Territorial Dynamics during the Seminar on Joint Multicommunity in the South American Lowlands”, in November 2018 at Unicamp. Parts of this work were presented at the following events, both in 2019: at XLI Convegno Internazionale di Americanistica, Perugia, Italy and at Canteiro de Antropologia - Jornadas da Caatinga at Universidade Federal do Vale do São Francisco in São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí. This version is part of a larger reflection that has the support of the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP Process n. 2018/19262-9).

ABSTRACT

The present article seeks a reflection on land regularization processes in which different forms of knowledge intersect. The starting point is a set of experiments related to studies of indigenous land identification in the southern state of Amazonas. The intention is to point at possibilities of different contextual readings. If on the one hand the anthropologist must write a report containing a map that establishes the boundaries of an indigenous land, on the other hand he must understand the confluence of the constitutive relations of a collective and its place. If the production of a text and a map are intended for future readings (legal and anthropological), the registers of places, based on events that combine sociality and sociability, are also a form of language.

[1] Edmundo Antonio Peggion is an associate professor at the Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP and a contributor to the Postgraduate Program in Social Anthropology at UFSCar. He developed research on social organization and kinship in the southern regions of the state of Amazonas and northern Rondônia. On that occasion, he contributed to processes of land regularization of indigenous lands. He currently organizes and systematizes, with the support of FAPESP, his collection of images and sound recordings to return them to the Tenharin indigenous people, focusing on a reflection on memory and biography.
