SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates the cultural expressions of the Tapajonica community in Santarem, Para, with a focus on the Borari Festival and other manifestations as forms of cultural resistance. The study is situated in the field of Anthropological-Cultural Geography, exploring the relationships between territory, identity, and culture, using authors such as Haesbaert, Raffestin, and Adorno as the theoretical basis. The central objective is to understand how these cultural manifestations contribute to the construction of local identity and serve as socio-identity resistance against the pressures of mass tourism and globalization. The geographic category of "territory" is chosen to analyze how culture shapes space and, simultaneously, is shaped by it. The methodological procedures adopt a mixed approach that integrates phenomenology to capture the subjective experiences of participants and historical-dialectical materialism to understand historical and social transformations. Qualitative interviews with residents, cultural leaders, and event organizers in Alter do Chao, a prominent locality in the municipality, enable the collection of narratives that reveal the relevance of these cultural practices for community cohesion. The research concludes that the cultural expressions of Santarem, especially the Borari Festival, play an essential role in maintaining the Tapajonica identity, promoting the valorization of local traditions. These manifestations represent not only a means of resistance against the homogenizing forces of modernity but also strengthen cultural tourism, contributing to the sustainable development of the region.
