| Sumario: | The extractive industries, in their forms of insertion for operation, leave marks, no matter how much the legal apparatus tries to minimize the harmful and irreversible effects. Unlike hydroelectric dams, the mining industry has an unofficial protocol, but one that is well regarded in the business sphere, and is consistent with the social license to operate. Indigenous and traditional peoples are protected by the Free, Prior and Informed Consultation of ILO Convention 169, which, however, does not always occur. Another instrument that could represent a kind of agora is the Public Hearings, were it not for the linguistic dispossession (vernacular and technical terms) of a considerable fraction of the audience, and an Environmental Impact Study not always reliable to reality, which is evidenced in the execution of the works. The Brazilian energy policy, in the last decades, in the name of the growth of the country and its development, financed the construction of large hydroelectric projects, resulting in the alteration of the landscape, flora, fauna, and the displacement of human groups (indigenous peoples, riverbank dwellers, peasants). The changes in the morphological substrate of these groups, their cosmology, vulnerability and the subsequent effects not accounted for by the formal economy is what we intend to discuss in this text under the category of victims of development. |
