Current paper analyzes the southern frontier of the state of Pará and the northern territory of the state of Maranhão, Brazil, close to the river Turiaçu and assesses its importance for the displacement of people and goods during Portuguese colonial rule and in the post-1822 Independence years. The paper investigates the strategic and political relevance of the frontier for travel and transport, correspondence and transport of goods within the context of the Brazilian Indigenes, merchants and the Portuguese and Brazilian governments. The conflicts between inhabitants and settlers are highlighted in the essay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the concept of cities as privileged spaces for communication (Reguillo-Cruz, 2007). We propose a discussion, based on the empirical scenarios studied, on the interactions and dynamics of space constitution in Amazonian cities where there are wooden bridges, called marombas, which reconnect flooded areas in the situation of rising river waters. The marombas indicate daily communication processes and specify the relationship between men and nature. We understand, based on França (2006) and Braga (2011), interactions as processes in which people build social and cultural habits. As a methodological perspective, we stand for the approach of the moving cartography as a fundamental way for understanding the Amazonian communicational experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current article is foregrounded on the relevant trajectory of the press as an object of historiographic reflection, with special reference to its geographical expansion in Brazil between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. It was precisely during this period that there was a displacement from the great urban centers and reached far and remote spaces. The paper deals with recent studies on the press in the Amazon underscoring the need for transpositioning of an annoying historiographic silence on the experiences within small villages and towns in the Amazon mobilized by an expanding rubber economy and based on a strong migratory movement to the region´s rubber trees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study the interactions of regional and international pressure on the Pan-Amazon, a region considered strategic for Brazil. Its importance lies in multiple fields, with emphasis on the environment and the economy. Two perspectives, although not incompatible, reveal themselves difficult to harmonize, especially when it converges to the exploitation of natural resources in the Pan-Amazon and the exercise of national sovereignty over their territories. But the thematic scope of the article is even wider, since one of the main objectives of the study is to try to articulate the environmental and economic issues related to the Pan-Amazon with policy issues related to regional security and national levels around the Brazilian Amazon, assuming that the issue is even more complex when contemplated in its regional dimension. Finally, we carried out an exercise on scenarios involving the Pan-Amazon at both the regional and the international levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the peculiarities of Brazilian Amazon, especially the access to information and communication technologies. Particularly, this work discusses the access of urban Amazon to the Internet and it proposes a review of the alleged isolation of the region, where the majority of the population is urban and the access of Internet is growing. It also denies the ideas that lead to the invisibility of the urban in opposite to the centrality of the environment when Amazon is the issue [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper explores the evolution of the bilateral relations between Brazil and Suriname during the 1980s, especially with the so-called Venturini mission to Suriname. The text uses original documents from two Brazilian archives. The article shows that the main goals of Figueiredo's administration with respect to Suriname were fulfilled, especially concerning the avoidance of an East-West conflict in the sensitive north frontier of the country and in the Amazon region.

Th is paper presents a study on the potential of the Amazon to the development of dermocosmetics, using regional materials. Th e study conducts a survey of local capacity to produce knowledge and develop technologies appropriate to the chains andiroba, copaiba and brazilian nuts. Such supply chains are the most prevalent and established in the region, representing an important source of income for much of the regional communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the policies of protection for indigenous people and the environmentalist manifesto for the excluded in Amazonian countries. It addresses the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and the resolution of the General Assembly that qualifies the effects of climate change as threats to international security. Both lead to cognitive constructions for social justice. The paper reminds us of the invasion of lands by disorderly immigration. More importantly, it unveils the analytical potential offered by the study of international relations to clarify the perspectives of both the mitigation of climate change through the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and the excluded majority that lives alongside the protected indigenous minorities.

(Paternalism and clientelism as effects of conjunction between paternalist oppression and capitalist exploration). This paper arises from two questions: why do paternalism and clientelism phenomena in modern Latin America populism remain so insensible to the Marxist critic of capitalistic exploitation? Why, are they, at the same time, ostile to any kind of regional or indigenous power (in the case of Amazonia and Andean countries)? My hypothesis is that such mechanisms could also popular identification processes that may correspond to progressive forces, as well as to some forms of alienation of the logic of economic and social reciprocity. On the one hand, they can express the resistance of a reciprocal economy and community to the expansion of the capitalistic exchange domain. But, on the other hand, they could represent the alienation of the logic of reciprocity, through its asymmetric forms of redistribution (or centralized reciprocity): paternalism and clientelism. I see, in the limits of socio-political critiques and in the renewal of populism in Latin America, a superposition and cohabitation between the alienation specific of reciprocity systems - the paternalist oppression - and the alienation arising from the exchange system: the capitalistic exploitation.
