Resumen
The objective of this thesis is to analyze the solidary productive practices carried out by the
Associação das ProdutorasAgroecológicas da Zona da Mata de Alagoas – APROAGRO,
based on the principles of the Economy of Communion (EoC). Based on socio-productive
practices, the effectiveness of these dynamics will be taken into account. This is a women's
association of the Zumbi dos Palmares settlement, at Branquinha/AL, whose family character
is aimed at generating income for the residents of the settlement. The activities carried out are
essentially agrarian, that is, directed towards family farming and artisanal activities. They aim
to be managed and commercialized in a common way, according to the cooperative style of
production. The Economy of Communion, through the Christian ethics of free and reciprocal
sharing of material goods, is intended to give rise, in liberty, to a free division of part of the
profits made by companies that adhere to this proposal.Intervening with the impoverished
from the perspective of their socioeconomic inclusion is the goal to be achieved. It is a project
that was launched at Brazil on May, 1991, by the Italian Chiara Lubich (1920-2008), founder
of the Catholic Christian religious group called the Movimento dos Focolares(Focolare
Movement). The approach will be a case study in the socioeconomic context of APROAGRO
as an alternative to the model of capitalist hegemonic production. The main theoretical
orientation was based on the perspective of Marcel Mauss's (1974) gift theorythrough which it
was possible to discuss the theoretical foundations of the Economy of Communion and
relating it the productive practices of the enterprise. When we inquired about the effectiveness
and economic viability of the EoC, we assume that the economic development projects that
were carried out in the association, under the aegis of the Economy of Communion, it
generated socioeconomic improvements for the settlers. We find that hegemonic capitalism,
which imposes itself on the global economic context, is not absolute, for there are other
productive dynamics that oppose it, as in the productive practices of Branquinha's
Experiences.
