This doctoral thesis has the general goal of mapping the main existing social movements in the Brazilian Amazon in the historical period which encompasses the last 50 years.To that end, we have done a brief analytical overview about the socio-cultural formation of the region, taking into consideration its colonization and exploitation process which began in the XVI century and, many years later, the social and economic effects of the first capitalist intervention in the Amazon from what became known as the "rubber cycle".Such a phenomenon deeply modified the socio-ethnic structures of this huge territory, generating a large migratory flow, especially of populations from the Brazilian Northeast.Another pertinent issue, in our opinion, and we support it in our work, is the importance of the presence of the Civil-Military Government in the Amazon starting in the 1960s.We believe that moment to be a paradigm shift and it in its scope are social phenomena and conflicts hitherto unknown in the region, creating an environment conducive to the emergence of several social movements and actors which consolidated themselves in many areas of the Amazon, mainly at the locus of our research, the surroundings of the BR-230, best known as the iconic Transamazonic highway, primarily around the city of Altamira (PA) and its historic juxtaposition of social and environmental conflicts.With this initial background outlined, our primary objective was to understand and analyze the social movements which take (or took) action against the construction of the Belo Monte Hydropower Plant, the lead infrastructure project developed by the Federal Government in the last decade.Our work supports the thesis that these movements organize themselves against Belo Monte (and other large projects in the Amazon region) through a complex interchange of social and political relationships borne of the interaction with other actors and social movements, a process mediated by communication systems (made possible by the internet) and pedagogical forms of non-formal education.We called this modus operandi "mobilization networks".Therefore, this research seeks to also analyze these networks and to identify their characteristics and protagonists
