Abstract

The article presents the debate about labor and quilombola territoriality as non-dichotomous processes when the work category is faced as something unmediated by the owners of the means of production, and where the relationship between culture and nature occurs in a dynamic in which humans make themselves and the environment in which they live and work. The research question is: how does quilombola territoriality overcome the dichotomy of culture and nature? The assumption is that the dichotomic relationship between culture and nature is overcome when there is no interference of owners, land, and means of production in the relationship. The article is organized into three items: work category, quilombola communities, and communal appropriation. The study was produced as part of a research work on the constitutionality of quilombo lands and is the result of bibliographical and documentary analysis.
