The phenomenon of “repeasantization” in the trajectory of the Aimirim Collective: the search for the construction of ’good living’(Bem Viver) and the agroecological practice in sítio Pintor Bonito-PE

Abstract

The repeasantization phenomenon is a field of study still poorly discussed in Brazil. However,
in a timid way, this last years, it has been observed a reconnection process with nature starting
with people who live in larges urban centers seeking a way back to nature, good living
(Bem viver). Therefore, this choice is not easy, because involves a series of challenges on its
implementation. This article aims to analyze how the participants of the Aimirim Collective,
Bonito- PE, have been working on a perspective to materialize the experience of this nature,
facing a transition in the development. The relationship between agribusiness and the city, environmental
issues and the generation of income are some of the challenges presented by this
reality. Although the biggest one is to consolidate a path that guarantees the survival to both
the participants and the collective, at the same time, settle down in a reality whose adversities
are sometimes obstacles to the realization of good living.
