These paper refers to brasilian northeast and focused on one of the INCRA’s office, an state institution that take charge of the named “land reform”. The aim is explorer in this office the perspectives about land occupations, which are organized by differents social movements that look for their inclusion in process of “disappropiation” (carried out by that institution). The ways in which these conflicts are defined show struggles for power, inside and outside the institution, in which the valuation of knowledge about administrative practices become a central factor. The paper shows the bureuacratic views and treatements of struggles for property are inseparable from social relations in that institutional space.

This article looks to discuss how the concept of “invented traditions”, created by the historian Eric Hobsbawm might apply to football. We intend to show how the press and some writers told the story of how Black people were accepted and incorporated into the most popular sport in Brazil. Also we intend to understand why some assumptions have been made in the first half of the twentieth century and became truths recounted by scholars and the press becoming so part of common knowledge and acceptance.

In this article the author traces an analytical profile of socioeconomic conditions of the semi- arid northeast of Brazil with a view to highlighting its structural rigidity to the development. This understood as a process of cultural transformation which incorporates historical trend systematically promoting socioeconomic well-being of the population in a specific area or territory. The semi-arid zone represents about 58% of the regional area, 41% of the population and only 22% of gross domestic product, in addition to periodic droughts that reduce historically, in great measure, agricultural production with dramatic effects mainly on the small and medium producers. Moreover, given the high concentration of rural property and urban, semi-arid region have the worst socioeconomic indicators in the Brazilian context, thus constituting one of the main pillars of resistance to own national development. The overcoming in the medium and long run of this condition of underdevelopment requires consistent and systemic public policies, involving the three levels of government with the effective participation of civil society, and not the specific actions that generally tend to happen.

Choosing as empirical field the village of Taim, in the city of São Luís, in the island of Maranhão, the authors analyse the conflict between the local inhabitants and the administrators of large “development projects” established in the area since the end the 1970’s, as by products of the “Grande Carajás” project. At the center of such conflict lies the fight for the possession and control of territories. Leb by “União de Moradores de Taim”, starting in 1996 various settlements have demanded the creation of an extractive reserve. As a basis for this demand, the residents stress the existence of a way of living which has been ancestrally built, with low levels of environmental aggression and roots on traditional populations.

The present article intend to present a criterion for implantation of technologies destined to desalinated the drinking waters reservoirs that provide the cities of the state of Ceará affected by high levels of salt. Considering the hypothesis, demonstrated in this article, that there is a strong correlation between the socioeconomics conditions and the level of salt of the water that supplies the population of the cities, a socioeconomic criterion was chosen. Applying the technique of factorial analysis for the method of the main components to analyze socioeconomic and environmental variables, it could be arrange the cities in hierarchy order according to its needs of receive desalination equipment.

The results confirmed the competitiveness of the exporting of ornamental products facing the global market. It was observed, however, that great exporters, such as Italy, Belgium, United States, German, and France, are not always strongly competitive. The most competitive parts were Equator, The Netherlands, Colombia, and Denmark. From those. Equator presented the highest increase in competitiveness, while the others presented a decrease. Despite the fact that Brazil does not figure among the greatest exporters, it stood out as a strong competitor, with increasing exporting rates.

The objective this paper is to analyze the relationships in the prices on the tomatoes wholesale market prices of Fortaleza (CE), Ibiapaba (CE), Recife (PE) e Salvador (BA).

In a nutshell, the new generation of social policies privileges social insertion instead of risk subsidizing, active participation of beneficiaries instead of passive submission to professionals, personalization of the aid instead of mass provision, human proximity instead of distant solicitude. Commitment of beneficiaries, decentralized implementation of policies and local partnerships for management of programs are central features of the new active social policies. It constitutes a challenge for all and, in particular, for social scientists to unveil distortions in the implementation processes and to help policy makers and professionals to rethink social policies in order that these policies may recuperate their noble mission of reduce inequalities.

Quem foi mesmo Geraldo Markan? Gegê (como era tratado pelos amigos) resmungaria se alguém ousasse pedir que ele se defi nisse. Como antropólogo, sabia das complexidades que a pergunta mascara. Sentia-se homem. Tentava integrar natureza e cultura, em um texto que teceu durante os setenta anos da passagem dele pela terra. Geraldo Markan tornou-se uma referência da cultura cearense nas últimas décadas do século XX. Deu forte e marcante contribuição ao ensino de Antropologia na UFC. Circulava com desenvoltura pelos meios literário, teatral e das artes plásticas. (...)

Within a social and sociological background which may provide the necessary conditions for emergency (or not) of collective action, the author tackles this issue by confronting several positions dealing with it, and enriching it with empirical data from a case history found on a settlement administered by the Movimento dos Trabalhadores sem Terra (MST) in the Sate of Pernambuco. These workers are grouped by the MST as an organization which questions the global logic found in the current stage of capitalist development. By collecting contributions from several neo(Marxist) and neo(Weberian) authors who deal with social movements, we defend as a fundamental issue the surviving and security imperative (Scott) and combine, following Bader’s trail, the various levels of analysis for collective action.
