Agroecossistemas familiares no Complexo Ambiental Sacaí, Baixo rio Branco, Roraima

Abstract

The amazonic agroecosystems are part of the Amazon complex structure, with heterogeneous and diversified processes of human intelectual work practiced in the environment. These agroecosystems have temporo-spatial structures related to the lived environment and to the imaterial knowledge of the farmers which play an important role to make these unique and unrepeatable as a whole. This research aimed to undestand the conservational movement of life autopoiesis in Sacaí Environmental Complex, Caracaraí, Roraima, Brazil, starting from the anthitetic processes of social (re)production and life (re)programation. The theorical-methodological structure was based in the System to the Paradigm of Complexity responsible to give to the research the malleability needed to the comprehension of the real. The analytic categories were structured to the comprehension of this real, by the multiple cases design. Techniques as interview with previous guide, questionnaire census, focal groups, mental maps, sketches and photos were used. Fourty one (41) families were subject of this study. The results show that the agroecosystems in the Sacaí Environmental Complex emerge from the complementarity assuming the family organization and become undissociable in their recursive process of autopoiesis. They are, at the same time, a nuclear family, a troncal extensive family and a community extensive family, it constituting a family agroecosystems. The family agroecosystems are temporo-spatial delineated by the water pulse which are manifested by the dried and flooded landscape. The link between the feeling and the landscape is revealed through the organization in productions unit, as work places, which are linked to the environmental knowledge kept by the farmers. Therefore the work process diversity joined to the knowledge kept by the farmers are the base to the (re)production of the family agroecosystems in the Sacaí Environmental Complex. As part of this environmental system it was possible to reveal the insertion of new interactions promoted by the external action of the Sacaí Environmental Complex. In this sense the interactions between government actions and the agroecosystems are responsible to create a dialectical relation of (in)visibility. This relation regards to the possibility of the farmers to (re)program themselves in the system making visible only the necessary to their social reproduction keeping invisible what is responsible to conserve the autos in the (re)construction processes of the Sacaí Environmental Complex.
