Leader: Afonso Welliton de Sousa Nascimento
Conducting research and extension seeking to build identities and knowledge of the waters with the riverside populations in order to discuss the role of the State in the development of public educational policies, focusing on analysis of municipal management and experiences of education in the field, is an investigative need of fundamental importance for the Baixo Tocantins micro-region, since it will enable a greater articulation between the theoretical-conceptual discussions that will permeate all research development and the operationalization of educational policies in the municipalities under study. We believe that this theoretical-empirical articulation will bring significant advances in terms of theoretical productions that enable us to understand in depth the issue of the educational issue of the municipalities, as well as the education of the countryside.
Social Movements, Popular Education and School
Leader: Eliane Dayse Pontes Furtado
Member: José Ribamar Furtado de Souza

In this context, the educational dimension appears as the most important object. The investigations aim to offer theoretical and methodological support, both in the sphere of the formulation of educational policies, and in the implementation of educational programs appropriate to the reality of the rural population. Likewise, they seek to rescue the pedagogical action carried out in this context, emphasizing the education of the educator, his pedagogical practice and his living and working conditions, with regard to the education of young people and adults and Rural Education.

NARRARES - Studies on the Resistance Narrative
Leader: Tânia Maria Pereira Sarmento-Pantoja
Formed by researchers, teachers and students, coming from several higher education institutions, the research group NARRARES-Studies on Narrative of Resistance, initially appeared as a research group "Investigations in Contemporary Literature of Portuguese Language", has, above all, aimed at deepening of studies on narrative, more specifically, on literary, theatrical and cinematographic narratives crossed by resistance as a thematic and / or aesthetic category. Along this path, he has sought to develop investigations based on the following topics: 1) forms and repertoires of the post-utopian narrative with a focus on intertextual and semiotic relations between the fictional narrative and the historical narrative; 2) forms and repertoires of the resistance narrative, particularly the study of dystopias and post-dictatorial narratives (literature, theater and cinema). In this topic, the expressive forms and the relations of the fictional narrative with categories such as utopia, dystopia, authoritarianism, power, trauma and catastrophe have been studied. 3) study of the relationships between artistic and aesthetic categories and resistance. In order to promote rapprochement between researchers interested in the debate on these topics, the group organized and carried out the following events: - Interinstitutional Colloquium Antônio Callado, in 2007, held at the Federal University of Pará, Abaetetuba Campus. - Seminar on Power and Resistance in Brazilian Post-Dictatorial Literature, held in 2008, at the Federal University of Pará, Abaetetuba Campus. - I Resistance Literature and Cinema Exhibition, held at the State University of Pará, in 2008.
