O Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens: interpelando o debate do desenvolvimento no Brasil e na Amazônia

Abstract

This paper is part of a master’s dissertation research defended in the UFPB’s Graduate Education Program. As cropping, this text aims to identify and analyze the knowledge and social representations derived from the experience of struggle and resistance of the Brarrage Affected Movement (MAB). Therefore, this study was a qualitative approach involving literature, documental and field researches. Among the references used in the research, this text is based on the notion of “Knowledge Ecology” of Boaventura Santos and on the notion of “social representation” of Serge Moscovici. As a result, there is the contribution of this Movement to mark conflicting positions with the dominant logic and bring up new issues and actors that challenge the development debate.
