ABSTRACT

Over the past two decades, the expansion of agriculture in Brazil, along with indigenous peoples’ growing claims for land, has increased the tension between indigenous groups and farmers. This paper addresses the dispute for land between Kaingangs and family farmers in southern Brazil, aiming to reveal tensions, disagreements and coalitions – that is, the frictions – demonstrated by these subjects when they narrate their current experiences and practices. Our proposal is to look at these conflicts from a cosmopolitical perspective. The research is inspired by multilocal ethnographies, using open interviews with Kaingangs, farmers and local authorities as its main methodological procedure. We also discuss the main historical-political characteristics of recent decades, situating the action of the State regarding conflicts involving indigenous peoples, as well as how this situation may develop in the current context.

摘要

在过去的二十年里，巴西农业的扩张，以及土著人民对土地日益增长的要求，加剧了土著群体和农民之间的紧张关系。本文探讨了巴西南部 Kaingangs 和家庭农民之间的土地纠纷，旨在揭示这些主题在讲述他们当前的经历和实践时所表现出的紧张、分歧和联盟——即摩擦——。我们的建议是从世界政治的角度来看待这些冲突。该研究受到多地方民族志的启发，使用与 Kaingangs、农民和地方当局的公开访谈作为其主要方法程序。我们还讨论了近几十年的主要历史政治特征，
