“…They eventually tricked the jaguar and were able to gain possession of fire. For being greedy and not sharing, the jaguar was punished and forever after could only eat raw meat (Mindlin 2002). This myth positions the jaguar as an important symbol to describe greedy people, but it also justifies the right of the Xerente to take things denied them in critical situations.…”

Failure to consider the cultural and social factors of projects can lead to situations where mitigation does not effectively address the impacts they were intended to alleviate, and can even create other impacts. We critically analyse the processes of designing and implementing a social and environmental compensation program for the Lajeado Hydroelectric Dam in the Amazon region of central-northern Brazil. This mitigation program caused a wide range of social and environmental impacts on the Xerente Indigenous people, such as intra-group conflict, and changes in agricultural practices and food regime. Based on qualitative fieldwork and an extensive document analysis, we present a contextualization of the region, the project, the Xerente people, and their cosmological understandings. We consider the perspectives of a broad range of stakeholders about the compensation program and its outcomes, and demonstrate how traditional cultural practices and values played a role in the unfolding of the program. Better comprehension of sociocultural aspects through the use of ethnography, ongoing consultation, and meaningful community participation in the planning and implementation of mitigation measures are recommended.

“…Mas há, ainda, nesse poema de passagem, uma conjunção da noite com o fogo mítico buscado no ventre do jacaré: "o canoeiro da noite foi buscar/ feita em fogo que no ventre/ da noite do jacaré ardia" (LOUREIRO, 1978, p. 25). Esses versos retomam o mito do fogo Ianomâmi, relatado por Betty Mindlin (2002) em "O fogo e as chamas dos mitos". Para esse povo, o jacaré era dono do fogo e o escondia na boca.…”

Resumo: Cantares amazônicos, coletânea de três livros de poemas escritos pelo poeta paraense contemporâneo João de Jesus Paes Loureiro, versa sobre a natureza amazônica original invadida, degradada e dessacralizada pelo homem capitalista. A coletânea expressa o nativismo do autor, seu estro poético ao cantar a beleza viva, o éthos, os mistérios e os encantos palustres dessa terra de promessas. O autor revela certa tendência à remitologização e à transculturação, fenômenos que tiveram significativa expressão nas obras regionalistas que vieram a lume a partir do segundo quartel do século XX e que vêm marcando a produção literária até hoje. Este trabalho se debruça sobre Cantares amazônicos com a intenção de evidenciar o fundamento mítico dessa poesia representado nas metáforas e imagens arquetípicas das águas e da Floresta. Seguindo o périplo imaginário do sujeito poético, intenta-se registrar seu compromisso estético com a linguagem, sua fidelidade ao imaginário coletivo e sua temática regionalista. Ao final, conclui-se que o lirismo fluvial de Paes Loureiro tem como finalidade o eterno retorno
