A produção da vida material e imaterial em comunidades chiquitanas e quilombolas em Mato Grosso: uma nova/velha forma de existência

Abstract

This article deals with the formation of a different culture than that of of capitalist productionrationality, characterized by the incorporation of features of resistance, solidarity and fairness among its peers. Such characteristics arise from material and immaterial production that men and women have built historically and express their struggle for the right to exist in their lands. The study involved two traditional communities: indigenous (Chiquitano) and Maroons (Capon Green); the analysis also focussed on the studies produced by the Group of Studies and Research on Work and Education (GEPTE) in traditional communities of Mato Grosso - Brazil. For both, we based ourselves on historical dialecticalmaterialism based on authors such as Marx, Thompson and Mariátegui.
