Quilombola deconstitutionalization and chameleonic identities from the waters of Rio dos Macacos - BA
Territory, Racism, Waters, Identity, Law and Women.
The research seeks to demonstrate how Brazilian constitutionalism rejects the quilombola agency as a constituent power to guarantee the right to water territories, based on a case study of the quilombola community of Rio dos Macacos. Questioning the non-application of the self-attribution thesis established by the STF in the judgment of ADIN 3239 and the different understandings about claiming to be a quilombola, it seeks to contribute to the field of law and racial relations and Brazilian constitutionalism by bringing the meanings mobilized by the community about their identity. Derived from practical participation and observation and using bibliographical review and procedural ethnography, its object of analysis is the denial of the chameleonic nature of the fishing and quilombola identity constructed in the State's procedural theses, through the AGU, representing the Brazilian Navy, in the territory of the Aratu Naval Base project, Simões Filho – BA.
