O modo de vida camponês: apontamentos a partir da Comunidade Caldeirão em Brejinho - PE.

Abstract

The present research had objective to analyze the dynamics developed by the peasants in the Caldeirão community, Brejinho / PE, to ensure their social reproduction and the peasant way of life. The theoretical contribution chosen was Bosetti (2012), Carvalho (2015), Sabourin (1999; 2009), Wanderley (1996; 2015); Nascimento Rosa and Staccianiri (2012; 2014); Heredia (2013) and Nabarro (2021). The methodology adopted was of a qualitative nature, based on participant observation and semi-structured interviews, containing questions about the organizational, socioeconomic, productive and cultural aspects of the community experienced by peasants in the community. With regard to empirical research questions, it was found that peasants reproduce themselves socially and ensure their way of life through individual strategies (access to land, diversified production, production for self-consumption, family labor, receipts of pensions and benefits) and through collective means (participation in the association, fair, among others) and also through the relationship established with the space, that is, the social and economic relationships established within the community.
