Resumo
The thesis analyzes the time-space of the Kalunga‟s manner of life. The Kalungas live in the
Cerrado regions of the valleys of Serra Geral, in the northeast of the state of Goias. This
research sought to understand what makes them a traditional community and which, from the
regions that they live, can be denominated sertão. In addition, it sought to analyzes their
inclusion in the category of remaining Quilombolas communities based on self-recognition.
This identification is part of an identity reframing, which got stronger since the 1988 Brazilian
Constitution. It also approaches the issue of land tenure, which is an element of conflict and
dispute because of land usurpations and invasions and due to the difficulty of compliance with
the legal procedures that guarantee, to the remaining Quilombolas communities, collective
rights over the territory that they inhabit. This territory is now recognized as 'Sítio Histórico e
Patrimônio Cultural Kalunga'. The thesis, through the concept of manner of life analysis,
seeks to reinterpret life in traditional communities presently. Therefore, we resorted to the
methodological tradition of ethnographic research. The method of apprehension is the
phenomenological, which has gained strength in humanistic geography, through the use of
cultural geography approaches. Fieldwork took a prominent position to the understanding of
culture, identity and territory. It was concluded that the main issues that have complicated the
Kalungas' lives over the years have not yet been resolved. This fact demonstrates the need to
broaden the debate and, at the same time, to discuss the obstacles for the recognition of the
remaining Quilombolas communities' rights. It is necessary to seek, in particular, the warranty
of ownership and use of the lands traditionally occupied by them, embracing their ethnic and
cultural elements, considered fundamental for the maintenance of their traditions and manner
of life. The context points to the need for mobilization by the actors connected with the
Quilombolas' movement, emphasizing that it is necessary to organize and to reclaim.
