This introduction to the thematic section indicates the diversity of ways different peasant, quilombola, and traditional peoples regulate and negotiate use and access to land and “natural resources.” We explore how the knowledge, logics, politics, and ethics related to sharing land, forests, water, and beings (which all may or may not be considered to be for “common use”) are intertwined with the actual construction of these communities, to varying degrees of satisfaction and continuity. The “common assets” of these peoples include “arts” and “knowledge,” subtle, inventive, and everyday ways of producing relationality. We focus on situations of conflict and expropriation, as well as government policies on economic development or environmental conservation, to reflect on the responses and strategies used by these peoples to stop predatory practices that target their spaces and ways of life.elocation-id: e2230109Recebido: 04.15.2022   •   Aceito: 05.06.2022   •   Publicado: 05.20.2022Original article  /  Open access
