GEOGRAFIA DE LUTAS E RESISTÊNCIAS NO TRIÂNGULO MINEIRO: ESTUDOS AGRÁRIOS E DEBATE PARADIGMÁTICO

Abstract

The history of geographic thinking shows that, since its origin,  it was linked to specific interests and hegemonic subjects and/or social classes. The motivations and projects have been transformed, but it is still necessary to unveil the conceptions of the world developed within Geography. This work sought to contribute to the updating of geographic thinking through the identification and analysis of the themes and paradigms of Minas Gerais Agrarian Geography. Especially in this article, the reflections were channeled in the performance of the Triangulo Mineiro in the construction of a critical Agrarian Geography, called the Geography of Struggles and Resistances. To this end, a reading based on the paradigmatic debate was proposed, an approach that highlights the political and ideological stances of knowledge. In the case of Agrarian Geography, the Agrarian Capitalism Paradigm (PCA) and the Agrarian Question Paradigm (PQA) acted as contributions to this reflection. Through UFU, the region has contributed to the advancement of critical studies, which understand that the development of capitalism in the countryside does not happen in a homogeneous way, but is permeated with contradictions that historically made possible the (re) creation of the peasantry. These are studies aimed at understanding the struggle and overcoming.
