A categoria intrusos na história da colonização do oeste catarinense: expropriação e resistência

Abstract

Intrude is the term used to name the people who lived on the lands of the old farm of Campina de Gregorio, located on the West side of the Santa Catarina state without the legal documents required by the Brazilian legislation. These lands were bought by the settlers Bertaso, Maia & Cia in 1919, in addition to the concessivos of Santan C state, as na enterprise for colonization. At the arrival of buyers settlers, local residentes werw forced to buy the lands or leave the space they inhabited for many years, which explains these conflicts between former residentes and settlers in addition to, the settlers, not only land-related connflicts but also cultural. It´s in the years and decades after these land battles, the notion of “intruder” has appeared and persisted. Most of these owners resided in the place for very long but didn´t register to legally own the land. These habits help understand how ownership relations hip were shaped before consolidation of private ownership in Brazil. Indeed, tradition often were stronger than the processo f formal creation of laws, as shown by paradoxically tagging these people as intruders in their own land. This monograph approached specifically study the cretion of the “intruder” category through a historic and cultural analysis via published historical studies and other tools such as accounting notes, payment guides, process of acquisitive prescription, and reports from the settlers Bertaso, Maya & Cia. which can be found at CEOM (Memory center of Santa Catarina West).
