Resumo
The relationship among nature and conflict has been the subject of several analyzes. In the midst of natural elements, water is one element that has been indicated – in the dimension of scarcity – as susceptible to trigger conflicts. However, the relation between tensions and water is a multi-causality process, therefore it involves numerous factors from different geographic and structural scales that contribute to the assessment that water generates conflict. Taking into consideration the contradictions in the forms of capitalist appropriation, the struggle among social classes, its power and its materialization of the territory's production, among other elements. Based on that, we start from the argument which the conflict over water is a process of different factors and different scales. Given by the capitalist appropriation of water in its contradiction between the concept of “life water” and “water merchandise” established by the social class struggles in which materializes upon the power relationship. In addition, it is also argued that, from the center/the core of this causality, whichever is the different logics/conceptions of water, a catharsis can be generated capable of questioning a capitalist form of water when considering it as a common good. Therefore, this research is based on a bibliographic review and empirical study of the Alto Rio São Marcos River Basin. Among the results, it is clear that formulations of water scarcity as the cause of conflicts engender a fetishized relationship, in which the mechanisms management are separated from the practices appropriation and integrated with values legitimized by the capital, as well as materialized in the hidroagribusiness. In addition, from the farmers conception about water, the matrix of the conflict is unveiled, that in our understanding it is capable of considering that nature belongs to humankind and, therefore to whoever needs the water in order to survive. The result from this study shows that the nature of the conflict on the hydrographic basin arises from the contradiction around the capitalist appropriation of water and that the logic/conception of water emerges as a common good and as a condition for the reproduction of human life.
