Del "descubrimiento" y la conquista del oeste del Paraná , hasta la construcción de Itaipú: La visión de tiempo de una sociedad eurocéntrica

Abstract

We refer to the "discovery", conquest and colonization of the Westzone of Paraná State (Brazil) realized by European descent workers and families (especially from Italian, German and Polish). They come to San Pablo initially, and they were displaced to the Big South River, where they will tackle the colonization process of the West's Parana in the third decade of the XX century. Several segments of this society based on a Judaeo-Christian and Euro-Centred cultures at the same time. They will promote an history idea related to the indigenous past of the region and a present of natural resources exploration that visualizes a future connected with the region progress, which will be the Agribusiness implanted in the second half of the XX century. The process connect the 1970 and 1980 decades with the Itaipu hydroelectrics implantation and the progress vision that the regional company will face towards, national and internationally. Our theoretical base is supported on the colony concept by Anibal Quijano, Edgar Lander, Ramón Grosfoguel and others.
