Deterritorialization and reterritorialization peasant and rural labor relations in southwest São Paulo: the issue between citrus workers and dairy farmers

Abstract

This article results of a series of researches carried out by the author and now we present a synthesis relating the contradictory and intrinsic processes to capital in which they dialectically promote peasant deterritorialization and at the same time, but in another phenomenon, its reterritorialization. Demonstrating the relationship between capital and peasantry, as distinct modes of production, but linked in a dialectic of destruction and recreation. Certainly, this study does not have the prerogative to answer all pertinent questions about the relationship between capital and peasantry. Rather, focus on the phenomena witnessed in the Southwest Paulista region, more specifically in the Avaré Immediate Geographic Region (IBGE, 2017). Justified by the strong presence of citrus farming and dairy cattle farmers. Thus, we will relate the processes of territorialization of capital and monopolization of territory by capital and their expressions in the configuration of the fraction of the territory based on labor relations. This category was chosen, since we will demonstrate how the relations of exploitation of wage labor in citrus culture and the subordination of peasant labor with the subjection of their production to industry, even if they appear as expressions of capital in the countryside, contradictorily act to peasant recreation.
