English Title: Spatial adjustments in amazonian scale or countdown of territorial rights

Abstract

We propose to systematize social and technical pleas against environmental studies hired by entrepreneurial consortia - and their respective environmental licencing processes - ongoing or formally completed. The technical and social controversies around great hydroelectric projects in Amazônia could be converted into multisetorial foruns that give room to mutual translation between scientific methodologies and procedures and traditional knowledge and national, local and diffuse interests. Arrange and coordinate these mutual learning elements is a prerequisite for the emergence of new paradigms in the design of environmental impact studies in Brazil. This study intends to demonstrate, from the implementation of the Santo Antônio and Jirau Hydroelectric Power Plants on the Madeira River (Rondônia, Brazil), the specific institutional and discursive paths adopted in the expansion of this new electric frontier, which precificate and demean environmental protection standards and social and current environmental rights.

Keywords:
Environmental licensing in megaprojects; Deterritorialization; Territorial rights; Amazon riverside communities
