A resistência do território indígena ante o avanço do capital:

um olhar para a comunidade Jeripankó

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to carry out an analysis of the resistance of the indigenous territory against the capital offensive, taking as a reference the cultural practices of the Jeripankó indigenous community, located in the outback of Alagoas. The research was developed with Epistemological support Historical-Dialectical Materialism, a method that provides the necessary tools to carry out a critical reading of society, as well as through the techniques of observation, photographic recording and semi-structured interviews, procedures performed in this community. With the theoretical elements and the results obtained in the field research, we found that the territory under the domination of capital is antagonistic to the indigenous territory, since the first is centered on the incessant search for profit, while the second is constituted as a space of life, the result of social relations based on religious, cultural and affective traditions, and this fact is evidenced in the Jeripankó territory, where a set of ritualistic and daily practices materialize that make the territorialities of that community emerge, thus constituting a territory of life for the Jeripankó, anchored in harmonious and collective coexistence.
