O campesinato no Vale do Jequitinhonha: da sua formação no processo de imposição do trabalho à crise da (sua) reprodução capitalista / The peasantry on the Jequitinhonha Valley: from its formation by the labor imposition process to the crisis of (its) capitalistic reproductionAna Carolina Gonçalves Leite 02 March 2015 (has links)
Nesse trabalho, abordamos as condições de reprodução do campesinato no Vale do Jequitinhonha mineiro, da sua formação até os dias atuais, tomando-as como momento da territorialização do capital e da mobilização do trabalho, observadas sempre nas transformações que sofreram no curso contraditório do processo de modernização. Investigamos a formação regional do campesinato no bojo da transição do escravismo colonial para o trabalho livre, relação engendrada como desdobramento da mineração ocorrida em muitos afluentes da bacia do rio Jequitinhonha e do estabelecimento e da expansão das fazendas pecuárias no que outrora fora considerado \"sertão\". Analisamos também a forma de reprodução desse campesinato, tomando-a como uma relação social de produção na qual se assentou a reprodução do capital, quando a mesma ainda não podia prescindir do domínio fundiário e recurso ao exercício da violência por parte daqueles que personificavam o capital e da produção direta dos meios de vida por parte daqueles que personificavam o trabalho. Apresentamos ainda a acumulação das condições para o rompimento daquela relação social de produção como resultado central da própria territorialização do capital responsável por engendrá-la, entre elas, inclusive, a institucionalização do Estado e a formação da sua tecnocracia, ocorridas, ambas, em meio ao processo de autonomização das categorias terra, trabalho e capital, o qual investigamos a partir da intervenção do planejamento regional estatal no Vale do Jequitinhonha e das invasões e expulsões de agregados, posseiros e situantes que foram desencadeadas especialmente nas décadas de 1960, 1970 e 1980. Na análise dos desdobramentos dessa ruptura enfatizamos a permanência do campesinato no Vale do Jequitinhonha, porém, em meio a uma profunda transformação nas relações sociais de produção em que o mesmo se encontrava engajado, as quais passaram a se assentar na generalização da mobilidade do trabalho. Por fim, as condições atuais de reprodução do campesinato, interpretamos como momento da reprodução do capital em sua crise fundamental. Articulamos a exposição dos processos apontados com uma discussão sobre o papel da acumulação primitiva na reprodução do capital e as limitações para sua reiteração continuada; sobre a homogeneização e a diferenciação das relações sociais de produção; sobre o caráter contraditório e fundamentalmente crítico do desenvolvimento capitalista e o caráter da sua crise atual. Conduzimos a mesma a partir da problematização de inúmeros estudos dedicados ao problema da reprodução camponesa no Vale do Jequitinhonha, criticando a apreensão que faziam dessa última como totalidade apartada por não reconhecerem ser essa aparência resultante do processo de autonomização. Analisamos ainda um farto conjunto de depoimentos de lavradores e lavradoras no qual os mesmos discutiam transformações experimentadas em suas condições de reprodução, buscando articular, igualmente, os planos da história e da experiência, a partir de uma crítica do processo de sujeição dos sujeitos sociais a uma dominação abstrata, fetichista e tautológica da mercadoria enquanto forma de mediação e do capital enquanto sujeito automático. / On this thesis we approached the reproduction conditions of peasants from Jequitinhonha Valley, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, from its formation until nowadays. We grasped those reproduction conditions as territorialization of capital and labor mobilization moments, moments that we observed always on the transformations that had occurred on the contradictory process of modernization. We researched regional peasantry formation from the enslavement transition to free labor, a relation that was engendered as the unfold of mining in affluent rivers of Jequitinhonha river and of cattle farming establishment and expansion in what was once considered sertão. We also analyzed the reproduction form of this peasantry as a social relation of production which was the basis of capital reproduction in a moment that personified capital could not prescind from land domination and from violence exercise. After that, we present the accumulation of conditions that ruptured that social relation of production as a central result of territorialization of capital itself, conditions such as State institutionalization and the formation of its technocracy, both occurred throughout autonomization process of land, labor and capital categories. We researched that process from the intervention of regional State planning on the Jequitinhonha Valley and from invasions and expulsions of agregados, posseiros e situantes that occurred specially on the decades of 1960, 1970 and 1980. While analyzing the unfolding of that rupture we give emphasis on the permanence of peasants on the Jequitinhonha Valley, although, in the middle of a deep transformation of social relations of production that these peasants were engaged, which passed to be embedded on the generalization of labor mobilization. Finally, we interpreted actual peasantry reproduction conditions as the reproduction of capital in its fundamental crisis. We articulated the exposition of the processes already mentioned with a discussion of the role of primitive accumulation for capital accumulation and the limits to its continuous reiteration; on the homogenization and differentiation of social relations of production; and on the contradictory and fundamentally critical character of capitalistic development and its actual crisis character. We conducted such issue questioning numerous researches that were dedicated to the peasantry reproduction problem on the Jequitinhonha Valley, and we criticized the grasping of that social reproduction as a separated totality as those researches didnt recognized that as an appearance of autonomization process. We also analyzed a big amount of testimonials of lavradores and lavradoras, in which they discussed transformations experienced on their conditions of reproduction, as we tried to articulate historical and experience plans, from a critique of the process of social subjects subjection by an abstract, fetishistic and tautological domination of merchandise form as an automatic subject mediation and capital form.

A Marxist Reading Of Things Fall Apart In The Esl Classrom : Exploring Colonial Socio-economic Exploitation in the Nigerian ContextNkalubo, Arthur E. January 2021 (has links)
This thesis aims to explore how a critical reading of the novel Things Fall Apart (1958) can provide valuable perspective for educators and students when examining socio-economic issues in a colonial context in the ESL classroom. The main issues being analysed are how the novel reveals and explores socio-economic forms of exploitation under colonialism, and how a critical reading of the novel can be used in teaching to inform and persuade learners about social injustices. To show this, the essay examines the novel from a marxist perspective, and more specifically by drawing on the concept of primitive accumulation to understand and explain the changes brought about by the introduction of colonial rule. The changes in this context include the Igbo community's relation to land, its socio-economic and cultural aspects as well as the introduction of trade. The discussion and analysis of the novel centre on social injustices due to land expropriation, breakdown of traditional values and customs, and economic changes brought about by the arrival of Europeans in the context of colonialism. Expanding on this, the essay also reflects on the pedagogical implications of its arguments by showing how a critical reading of Things Fall Apart might provide an opportunity for teachers to underline issues of social injustice, material, and economic forms of exploitation under colonialism and beyond. This literary analysis also discusses and reflects on the practical challenges and possibilities of teaching such issues in the ESL classroom by using the concept of critical literacy.

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of CanadaKinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
