Abstract

The studies of power relations constitute an important axis of reflection to understand the forms of social organization through the bias of factors, such as: economic, political and cultural, or even through internal conflicts and the dynamics that are related these factors in the social relations existing in the community. In the hope that these studies will contribute to the understanding of the dynamics that influence the formation of the processes that generate the organization of the communities, be they urban or rural, of a collective or individual character and that can be oriented or not through systems symbolic that condition the external and internal dynamics of such organizations, served as a provocation to the choice of the theme: Power relations in the process of socio-political organization in the community N. Sr.ª de Fátima, locus of the research, located on the left bank of the river Tarumã Mirim / AM. The analysis was based on the following objectives: to verify the relations of power in the processes of socio-political organization of the Nossa Senhora de Fátima community through the characterization of community space; identification of the forms of relations of power from the process of sociopolitical organization; and reflection on power relations in the community. The research was structured as to the quantitative and qualitative approach, since it tends to emphasize the deductive reasoning, the rules of the logic and the measurable attributes of the human experience with the character of Exploratory Research, since it has as objective to provide greater familiarity with the problem, with a view to making it more explicit or constructing hypotheses, involving: (a) bibliographic survey; (b) interviews with people who have had practical experiences with the researched problem; and (c) analysis of examples that stimulate the understanding, the bibliographic research, that provides subsidies of analysis of several positions about a problem and field research that enabled the collection and collection of data with the participants of the research. Results and conclusions of the study. Power relations pass between the various spheres that present themselves in the residents' association, in the meetings, in the leadership and in the daily practices of the residents.
