Popular cooperativism as an alternative to the community affected by the dam: territoriality and popular extension

Abstract

Reflection on territoriality and popular extension from the study of the territorial conflict resulting from the construction of the Barra do Braúna HPP, in the municipalities of Laranjal and Leopoldina, Minas Gerais. On one side of the relationship is a company of Braúna Energética SA, linked to the Canadian group Brookfield Renewable Energy, and, on the other, fishermen affected by the dam, participants in a popular extension project made by the Muriaé campus of the IF Sudeste MG Voltado to the formation of a fish-net cooperative.
