SUMMARY:

The object of study of this qualitative research is the formation of private ownership of land constituted on the margin of legality and through the use of letters of sesmarias to legitimize the private domain. The empirical area of investigation is the western region of Pará, which is why the following questions were raised: How are land grabbing strategies presented through the use of sesmarias letters? How do the processes and relations of the production of a notary alchemy occur that transform papers without legal value into documents translating domain? How do the investigations of evidence of illegalities occur? In general, the objective of the research is to analyze how land grabbing strategies are presented through the use of sesmarias letters. Specifically, the research has the following objectives: to identify the theoretical categories related to the formation process of private land ownership; map the sesmarias issued in the colonial period; understand the process of discrimination and collection of federal and state public lands, as well as confirm the location of sesmarias in areas collected by the federal and state governments; and, to characterize cases of properties that have evidence of land grabbing sustained in letters of sesmarias. Based on the dialectical method, articulated by historical materialism, and based on the Theory of Creation and Re-creation of the Peasantry and Landholdings, the research procedures followed the following path: state of the question, analysis of documents and case studies. The investigation identified 12 (twelve) rural properties with evidence of land grabbing sustained in sesmarias letters. These properties have an area of approximately 79,000 ha (seventy thousand hectares) located in the municipalities of Altamira, Juruti, Medicilândia, Óbidos, Prainha and Terra Santa.
