Abstract

While result of contradictory capitalist development, peasants struggle by maintenance of the balance of its resource base, by relative autonomy and by permanence on the land against the territorialization of capital. The peasant resistance evidenced in the municipality of Glória de Dourados by means of various strategies, according the nuances and contradictions of the expansion of capitalism in the countryside. In the last 20 years, the gloria -douradense peasantry search in the transformation of the raw material of vegetable and animal origin, a form complementary to income in the peasant unit. The production has as base on the workforce of the family and the sale through the short circuits of commercialization. We sought to analyze the relations contained in this form of production that characterizes the domestic industry, in the perspective of a new strategy of peasant resistance. The observation and analysis based on data collection in 15 production units that have the domestic industry. The interviews with peasants and the empirical observation were important guides to understand the stages involved in the process of production and sale of the products in the units that own the domestic industry. These units use the fair to sell from door to door as a way of destination of the product to the consumer, characterizing the short circuits of commercialization. Observed and analyzed the data in multidimensionality, one can clearly see the peasant perspective in the act of to transform the raw material, observed the specificities in the way of making and selling. Therefore, brings the concept of combined product as result of this transformation that in this work has shown to be motivated beyond the economic character, but as a strategy of resistance. Thus, domestic industry constitutes in an efficient way for the complementation of the income and for the increase of the relative autonomy in the peasant unit. However, the way in which the regulations directed by the public power in the scope of the sale of the products of animal and vegetal origin can influence in the autonomy relatively conquered by the unit of peasant production in that activity. Therefore, the domestic industry and the short circuits of commercialization allow the permanence in the field, the peasant resistance, however, even though the sale is made directly, several factors are influential in this production process that affect the activity and relative autonomy of the peasant unit.
