Resumo: The Tucuruí hydroelectric dam was built on the Tocantins River in Pará between 1974 and 1984. This article deals with the establishment of the society of the dam through the installation of a company town, to house the various workers involved in this construction. Focusing on the institutional and entrepreneurial point of view, we will deal with the implantation, organization and functioning of this particular space, trying on the one hand to characterize who are the workers who participate in the construction of this dam. And on the other hand, to reflect upon the way in which this type of space controlled by a company participates in the discipline of bodies and workers’ lives inside and outside the construction site, aiming at maximizing productivity. As a space of control, there are inevitably reactions that will also be part of this analysis. This research follows the course of the institutional and technical sources of the construction of dams to try to characterize the implementation and management of a construction site during the military dictatorship.

Este artigo trata da implantação de uma verdadeira sociedade da barragem através da instalação de uma cidade-empresa para abrigar os diversos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras implicados nessa construção. Aqui, partiremos da lógica empresarial e institucional para tratar da implantação, organização e funcionamento desse espaço particular, tentando por um lado caracterizar quem são as pessoas que participam da construção dessa barragem e refletir sobre a maneira como esse tipo de espaço controlado por uma empresa participa da disciplina dos corpos e da vida dos trabalhadores dentro e fora do canteiro, visando à maximização da produtividade. Como espaço de controle, inevitavelmente há reações que também farão parte desta análise. Esta pesquisa segue o curso das fontes institucionais e técnicas da construção de barragens para tentar caracterizar a implantação e a gestão de um canteiro de obras durante a ditadura militar.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2020-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalho/article/view/7535910.5007/1984-9222.2020.e75359Revista Mundos do Trabalho; Vol. 12 (2020); 1-23Revista Mundos do Trabalho; Vol. 12 (2020); 1-23Revista Mundos do Trabalho; v. 12 (2020); 1-231984-9222reponame:Revista Mundos do Trabalhoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalho/article/view/75359/45082Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Mundos do Trabalhoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Nathalia Capellini Carvalho de2023-05-18T02:31:12Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/75359Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalhoPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalho/oai||revistamundosdotrabalho@gmail.com|| portaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br1984-92221984-9222opendoar:2023-05-18T02:31:12Revista Mundos do Trabalho - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
