ANÁLISE HISTÓRICA DO PROCESSO DE TERRITORIALIZAÇÃO DA ÁREA DE TERRAS DA COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA INVERNADA PAIOL DE TELHA

Abstract

The dissertation aimed the territorialisation and social reorganization of the area that came to belonge to the Quilombola community Paiol de Telha, one of the many fields in the former Capão Grande farm, located in the municipalities of Guarapuava, in Paraná State. The territory was identified by a set of documentary sources, studies and criticism of the memory of the descendants of the former slaves, who reaffirmed their right to an area that was granted them by will in 1860 by the former owner, Mrs. Balbina Francisca de Siqueira. To this end, an analysis of the expropriation process was carried out, and, with the constitutionalization of the rights of descendants and remnants of ex-slaves, there was a recognition that that area belonged to quilombolas. We tried to show how the expropriation of Fazenda Capão Grande occurred after the death of the former owner, because of his own nephew and godson, and began the expropriation of the land in 1875. In order to do so, we proceed through an analysis of the expropriatory processes and later the reintegration of possession processes, with the descendants and remnants of the quilombo recognition as holders of rights over the area. As a thesis, we defend that the identification of the group and the social space took place as the descendants and remnants of the quilombolas were able to organize, join forces, began to fight for their rights and to see their territory recognized. We also sought to demonstrate how the construction of the social space practiced by the group that belonged by right to that particular area occurred, how they established their homes, formed families, implanted their cultures, identities and memories.
