SUMMARY:

Water is an essential element to ensure Quality of life and also the development of socioeconomic activities, consequently, its lack provokes situations of conflict and vulnerability. In semi-arid regions, as is the case for much of the Brazilian northeast, scarcity problems constitute a major challenge for which it is necessary to Governmental interventions and policies. The construction of large water works is one of the options widely adopted by these policies in order to solve the supply needs, However, the installation of these buildings brings with it a series of conflicting questions. One of these issues lies in the territorial restructuring caused by the removal of cores of settlement of the places to be submerged. We will deal with the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF) as an integral strategy of the national public policy on water resources and the structure Designed to ensure water supply to 12 million people in 390 municipalities in the Brazilian Semiarid region. Although the project is anchored in a strong appeal to "solve" the problems of water scarcity in the region considered as the polygon of drought in the northeast, , the grandiosity of the work also produces countless controversies and conflicts. Over its 477 kilometers of extension, transposition produced different , trademarks as they redefined territories, identities, symbols and social relations. As a locus of analysis we chose the municipality of São José de Piranhas, in Paraíba. The choice is justified by this municipality having proportionally the highest percentage of territorial disappropriation of the entire route of the transposition work, More than 5,200 hectares, 7.76% of Piranhense rural area as stated in the Environmental impacts report – RIMA (2004). Interestingly, São José de Piranhas had already undergone a similar process in 1932 when the city's headquarters, as well as a large part of its extension Territorial, was flooded giving way to the construction of the Weir Engineer Avid, responsible for the capture of water that supplies different cities in the high hinterland Paraiban. The aim of this study is to identify which social, cultural and political changes were engendered by the process of deterritorialization and reterritorialization in the Cacaré and Riacho de Boa Vista communities in São José de Piranhas in Paraíba during the São Francisco River transposition project. The study involved bibliographic, documentary and field research where open or semi-structured interviews were conducted, and interviews with focus groups. In order to bring the interpretations of different actors and entities that made up the scenario analyzed, we sought as respondents: representatives of the Ministry of Integration, members of the Rural Workers Union of São José de Piranhas; focus groups in the associations of residents of the Rural Productive Villages (Cacaré and Irapuá I) and several families residing in these localities. We use as a methodological basis the political ecology and cosmography of Little (2006/2002) as well as the concepts of space, territory, deterritorialization and reterritorialization having as reference Santos (2007), Little (2002) and Haesbaert (2004).
