Suleando lugares: arraigamento ecológico nos quilombos de Pombal e Porto Leocardio, em Goiás

Abstract

This article deals with the relationship between space and culture, seeking to understand the processes of territorialization of the quilombola communities of Pombal and Porto Leocardio from the perspective of ecological “arraigamento”. In this sense, we seek to understand the choices made by these quilombola groups in the processes of formation of their territories, also seen as actions of suleamentos carried out by its members. In this scenario, the spatial and temporal milestones that traditionally underlie such territorialization processes expand, allowing us to see the presence of complex socio-environmental factors imbricated in the way these agents chose their places of occupation. To achieve such a scenario, we anchor ourselves in the ecological approach whose vision unifies mind, matter and life.
