LACERDA, Paula. Resettlement and indemnity: forms of governance through the implementation of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric in Altamira (Brazil). Etnográfica [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.3, pp.729-749.  Epub 25-Nov-2021. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.10328.

This article is the result of an ethnographic research performed with men and women who, since 2009, have been experiencing the effects of the implementation of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric, at the city of Altamira, located in the southwest of Pará in the Brazilian Amazon. In this work, I approach the hydroelectric plan as a development project and analyze the forms of governance based on its main instrument: indemnities. The text’s main argument is that in a city repetitively (re)founded under the framework of “development”, the acts of resettlement and indemnification at the same time become promises associated with the guarantee of rights and social welfare and practices that arouse feelings of inferiority, inadequacy and humiliation between the people of the city affected by the project.

Palavras-chave : Amazon; state practices; indemnity; development; human rights; Belo Monte.
