Resumo: | The article analyzes the persistence of collective action in the Transamazon Agricultural Cooperative (Coopetra), Western Pará State, and the strategies adopted by peasants to maintain the agroindustry and the cooperation that enable their way of life. The research methods were direct and participant observation, interviews using structured and semi-structured questionnaires, and documentary research. Observations were made at the general meetings and meetings of the cooperative's administrative council. Interviews were conducted in farmers' rural establishments between 2013 and 2014. The central category of this article is collective action. To understand the collective action of the actors that results in the persistence of cooperation we rely on the theory of sociology of organizations, focusing on the construction of self-management, forms of participation and power relations within the organization. We conclude that the participation of the actors – the associates – in the cooperative's decision spaces, the trust and the balanced power relationship facilitates the persistence of the enterprise. |

Los métodos de investigación fueron la observación directa y participante, las entrevistas mediante cuestionarios estructurados y semiestructurados y la investigación documental. Se hicieron observaciones en las reuniones generales y las reuniones de la junta directiva de la cooperativa. Las entrevistas se realizaron en los establecimientos rurales de los agricultores entre 2013 y 2014. La categoría central de este artículo es la acción colectiva. Para comprender la acción colectiva de los actores que resulta en la persistencia de la cooperación, confiamos en la teoría de la sociología de las organizaciones, enfocándonos en la construcción de autogestión, formas de participación y relaciones de poder dentro de la organización. Concluimos que la participación de los actores – los asociados – en los espacios de decisión de la cooperativa, la confianza y la relación de poder equilibrada facilitan la persistencia de la organización.O artigo analisa a persistência da ação coletiva na Cooperativa Agroleiteira da Transamazônica (Coopetra), no Oeste do Estado do Pará, e as estratégias adotadas pelos agricultores familiares para manter a agroindústria e a cooperação que viabilizam o seu modo de vida. Os métodos de pesquisa foram observação direta e participante, entrevistas com o uso de questionários estruturados e semi-estruturados e pesquisa documental. As observações foram feitas nas assembleias gerais e nas reuniões do Conselho de Administração da Cooperativa. As entrevistas foram realizadas nos estabelecimentos rurais dos agricultores, no período de 2013 a 2014. A categoria central deste artigo é a ação coletiva. Para compreender a ação coletiva dos atores, que resulta na persistência da cooperação, apoiamo-nos na teoria da sociologia das organizações, com foco na construção da autogestão, nas formas de participação e nas relações de poder no interior da organização. Concluímos que a participação dos atores – os associados – nos espaços de decisão da cooperativa, a confiança e a relação de poder equilibrada facilitam a persistência do empreendimento.Edunisc - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul2021-11-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/redes/article/view/1501610.17058/redes.v26i0.15016Redes ; Vol. 26 (2021)Redes; Vol. 26 (2021)Redes; Vol. 26 (2021)Redes; v. 26 (2021)1982-6745reponame:Redes (Santa Cruz do Sul.
