Transformações nas relações de trabalho e seus impactos nos territórios rurais: afetividade e territorialidades na Comunidade de Dois Riachos, São Francisco - PB.

Abstract

Amid growing changes in the Brazilian agrarian space, and the expansion of the capitalist production system, where several factors cause major impacts on the way of life of families, especially in the countryside, resisting the changes resulting from the advance of capitalism. In this context, it is possible to mention the difficulties encountered in small communities, where a large part of families survived only with the practice of family agriculture and due to significant changes, some are forced to leave their homes in search of better living conditions, thus affecting the organization and structure of agrarian space. With the aim of highlighting the importance of life in the countryside, this study highlights the historical context of the Community of Dois Riachos, located in the municipality of São Francisco – PB. In addition, the main objective is to explore the residents’ sense of belonging to the community. For a better understanding, it was discussed how the Brazilian agrarian space was formed. In addition to emphasizing family agriculture, which plays an essential role in Brazil's economy and culture, being the basis of subsistence for millions of families in rural regions. Addressing its economic value, this type of agricultural production is deeply linked to the cultural identity and sense of belonging of rural communities. Furthermore, the crucial role of the peasantry as an agent of social and economic change in rural regions stands out, promoting sustainable development and the preservation of local traditions. Finally, the affective aspects in the community were worked on, based on the creation of an image chart of these points within the Community.
