The Rush of the Mining Activities in the Amazon: Parliamentary Articulations and the Legitimation of the Capital's Expansion

Abstract

This work means to make notes about the expansion of the minerary sector towards the Amazon as well as the processes of political articulation made in parallel to give political and legal legitimacy to it. The methodology has as base the analysis of legislative proposals presented about the theme dialoguing with the reality around them, as a way to identify relations between them to take to the comprehension of the processes here studied with the wider aspects of the question in debate. As results, although partial, we may observe the existence of a rush in parallel with the presentation of legislative proposals aiming to legitimate this process, what makes necessary to the interested sector in the theme as well as those hit by this rush the mobilization to derail it towards the necessity to keep the preservation of these spaces as well as the autonomy of the indigenous people that may be hit and even the conditions for the human habitability in the planet from now on.
