Resumo
This study presents the dynamics of the disputed territories, using analysis as the conflict between the
model of the Brazilian electric power generation, focused on hydroelectric power source and peasant
dispossession caused by the construction of hydroelectric plants in Brazil. The text is organized by
presenting the relationship between the development model adopted by the Brazilian government and
its policies aimed at the electricity sector between the years 1945-1990, during which experiences the
largest buildings of hydroelectric and strengthens the option for hydroelectricity. Thus, the state in
Brazil has acted as administrator but as a producer of energy in this period. The measures imposed on
the peripheral capitalist countries during the restructuring of the capitalist mode of production in the
years 1980-1990 yielded a number of measures of fit for these economies, such as the
desancionalização the economy that led to the privatization of public enterprises and opening the
economy to international capital thereby aggravating the dependency of these economies to foreign
capital. The electrical sector in Brazil is among the sectors that has opened for denationalization, as the
privatization of several production units, state-owned generation and power trading. The lack of
investment in installed capacity due to the economic crisis of the 1980s, coupled with the growing
demand for electricity and the national electric system susceptibility to weather weather Brazil is
experiencing a crisis of energy supply in 2001. The Blackout of 2001 triggered the opening of the law
of power generation and environment for private sector participation intensifies the self-producers and
independent producers who have invested heavily in production facilities hydroelectric facilities. The
sector that has invested in increased production of hydroelectric power was the sector of electrointensive
industries, interested in getting cheap hydropower and private industries such as Alcoa
Aluminio SA and Votorantim Energia. Because of the blackout measures the government authorizes
the construction of new dams without proper environmental and social rigor, resulting in several cases
of irregularities in construction producing irreparable social and environmental impacts. UHE Serra
Facão in Catalão (GO) was approved without a criterion of these plants by IBAMA, resulting in this
way, the peasant expropriation and environmental damage, such as the death of part of icitiofauna. The
fourth chapter presents the relationship of peasant with its territory based on the inseparable triad of
ethics peasant: family, land and labor. The construction of the territory and territorialization of the
peasant resistance movement against expropriation produced by UHE Serra Facão and the effects on
the lives of some peasants who were deterritorialized / reterritorialized by UHE Serra Facão.
