Constituent aspects of riverside isomorphic governance on the Ilha do Careiro (Amazonas, Brazil)

Resumen

Understanding governance in rural communities in the state of Amazonas requires interdisciplinary knowledge, as understanding the network of political articulation involves a collection of knowledge. Despite the existence of numerous works related to this subject, an a prior state is presumed in the representation of the network of political articulation, which leads to an exacerbated role of the State, in the face of other forms of social organization. Hence, the objective of the article was to analyze the environmental governance in the São Francisco community, located on the Ilha do Careiro da Várzea, in the state of Amazonas. We built Venn diagrams of agriculture, fishing, and plant extractivism to achieve this. The evidence provided indicates that the existing governance in the studied community is an isomorphic governance, which is the materialization of organized molecular power, originating from the triumvirate correspondence between the activities developed on lands, in forests, and on waters.
