The aims of this thesis are to identify the main issues and questions proposed by the literature, and to discuss the paradigms employed to research social conflicts on rural areas in Brazil undertaken by Social Sciences and how they were used to comprehend those conflicts. The question behind this investigation is related to the multiple views established by Brazilian social scientists analyzing those conflicts throughout time. The examination of this knowledge production reveals the construction of news categories to investigate rural social conflicts and the perception of other elements, not exclusively determined by capitalist transformations, as a condition for the emergence of those conflicts. / Esta tese examina a produ??o do conhecimento elaborada no ?mbito dos cursos de p?sgradua??o em Ci?ncias Sociais, a partir dos anos setenta, a respeito dos conflitos sociais rurais brasileiros ocorridos no pr?-1964.
