Summary: This dissertation has as its object of study the Renova Foundation, its
actions and repercussions in the organizational processes of the struggle of
those affected. This is a qualitative study, carried out through documentary
research, using materials prepared by the Renova Foundation, the Federal
Public Ministry, the Movement of People Affected by Dams and journalistic
websites that have followed the case of the Samarco dam rupture. Based on the theoretical contribution to the themes of the State and social classes in
Marx, Engels, Lenin and Gramsci, we seek to guide our theoretical discussion.
The authors of the Marxist Dependency Theory were part of our discussion, in
order to understand the Latin American and Brazilian particularity, with
regard to the mechanisms of expropriation of dependent economies. We start
from the hypothesis that the Renova Foundation continues to be a mechanism
used by mining companies to hide the continuity of the crime disaster. Acting
through the legitimacy of the State, the institution acts to shape coercion
and consensus, equipping institutional spaces, weakening and dividing the
collective struggle of those affected through their interventional actions.
In order to understand this scenario and carry out the analytical discussion
of Renova, we rely on the Gramscian reflection on the private devices of
hegemony.
Keywords: State and social classes. Private Devices of Hegemony. Renova
