A luta por terra e moradia em Chopinzinho/PR: uma análise da ocupação da Reserva Ambiental da Vila Rural Araucárias (1986-2024)

Abstract

This work presents the history of the occupation of the Environmental Reserve of Vila Rural Araucárias, in the rural area of Lagoão, in Chopinzinho/PR. The occupation began in 2007, however, to understand the origin of the occupation, it was also necessary to understand its relationship with other social movements, especially the MST. In view of this, we understand that the history of occupation permeates not only the moment of its occupation, but also the experience of subjects who participated in other social movements, thus extending the time frame between 1986, which refers to the occupation of Fazenda Corumbatá, in the area rural de Chopinzinho, and 2024, because we understand the continuity of the movement until the present. Through the theoretical framework that addresses social movements, we seek the relationships between the movements mentioned above and how dynamics, interactions and struggles merge over time. From the founding of the Chopim Military Colony, going through the struggles for land from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1980s onwards, this work seeks to analyze the occupation in Lagoão through a perspective that sees a continuity in the historical process of the struggles that were or continue to be fought within an extremely unequal society. Furthermore, the work deals with the action of the MST in the occupation of Fazenda Corumbatá, in 1986, dealing with a fact little known or even remembered among the residents of Chopinzinho. In this way, through studies on social movements and oral interviews carried out with residents or non-residents of the occupation, it is possible to understand the historical process based on the experiences of the subjects or those produced.
