Uma análise sobre os diferentes projetos de uso e significado da terra: discursos e personagens presentes na Comissão Mista da Medida Provisória n.o 759/16

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the debates on land title regularization and alienation of federal property that took place in the Mixed Commission for Provisional Measure (MP) of No. 759/2016, in view of the different projects regarding appropriation, use and meaning from the earth. I carried out the documentary analysis of the shorthand notes of the eight Committee meetings and their respective recordings, using the method of analytical induction. The theoretical framework was built from Acselrad's (2004) notion of land as an environmental good and the inherent process of dispute and control of access and exploitation thereof, taking into account that the discourses analyzed are structures developed through strategic constructions, guided by different interests. Among the projects analyzed, there is the governmentist who aligns with the historical process of expropriation of land from the peasantry, native peoples, quilombolas and other traditional communities and an increase in land concentration in the country, and another who opposes this, understanding that the agenda of "land tenure regularization” and the appropriation of public lands represent a project to increase violence in the countryside, land re-concentration.
