Abstract

The work analyzes the territoriality of the middlemen in Orla Sebastião Miranda, located in Marabá (PA). The structure of this work is organized through the spatial transformations that interfere in these territorial dynamics, especially with regard to the role played by middlemen, who with their transformations have influenced the process of building identities and riverside experiences in the riverfront of Marabá (PA). In view of this, the general objective is to understand the type of territoriality produced by the Tocantins River crossers facing the process of modernization of the uses of spaces linked to the dynamics of the Sebastião Miranda shoreline. The methodological approach is qualitative, and the procedures fundamentally involved the carrying out of fieldwork, which were carried out in the period of July and August 2018 and April and May 2019, documentary review of the statutes of the three associations present on the waterfront and bibliographic research. The interviews and the observations of the local landscape configuration of the summer period were of essential relevance in the construction of this research. A photographic record was also made. The type of territoriality produced by the crossers of the Tocantins River facing the process of modernization of the uses of spaces linked to the dynamics of the edge Sebastião Miranda is a territoriality of coexistence of the boatmen and rabeteiros at the same point of concentration while subjects of circulation takes us the understanding of territorialities from a geographical interpretation of space. It is a much more complex organization than the landscape revealed.
