Abstract

The study developed in an analytic approach o f temporality, deal o f the characteristics and dynamics of the reproduction of the peasant condition o f familiar groups that had their ownerships converting in agrarian reform settling in the middle Sao Francisco, west region o f the Bahia State. These groups when install by a large time in a determined ground and developed sociability and mutual wise whereas norms and rules for its access, use and its stay, constitute territorial patrimonies based through notions of right duty defined, especially, in genealogical groupal memory and in social values particularized in customer right duty. Starting of the "ownership" and "settled" classes, we tackle continuities and discontinuities processes in this turn. Such processes reveal that the right duty notions that make references to their old practices of ownership and use o f the earth are recreated in manner to incorporate the occurred changes in consequence o f the settling creation and, by other, opposing to the same, by they one be considered like a subordination condition, since that they have taken definitive changes in their life manner - their habitus - historically consolidate. The analysis allows to formulate the conclusion that, in the condition o f settled, these little agriculturists search to reupdate their peasant identity in a restrict space and defined by the agricultural politics o f the federal government.
