The speculative real estate market and the tourism industry, with all the facets they have acquired in the contemporary world, have gained fundamental importance among the strategies guaranteeing the capitalist reproduction process. As strategies for expanding accumulation, they fetishize from the possibility of private appropriation and consumption of nature, while ideologically embracing the discourse of social and environmental sustainability, concealing the intense and harmful processes of territorial expropriation that they provoke. Following the logic of capitalist spatial adjustments, due to its landscape attributes, the northern coast of the state of Sergipe has been gradually inserted since the mid-2000s in an intense course of touristic and real estate speculation fundamentally characterizedby thefunctional action oftheStateto thecapital. Process that had as itstrigger the construction of the Bridge that connects the municipality of Barra dos Coqueiros gateway to the north coast of Sergipe - to the municipality of Aracaju, in 2006, but that also includes a series of other mediations of the State in the sense of encourage the expansion of financial capital in the region, such as the projection, construction and expansion of several highways and other transport infrastructures in the municipalities of Pirambu, Pacatuba and Brejo Grande, interconnecting the entire north coast of Sergipe, while connecting it also to the touristy trendy coast of Alagoas, significantly expanding the boundaries of tourism-real estate speculation in the region. This process of capital expansion has been promoting, in conjunction with its territorialization, a pernicious course of territorial expropriation of traditional local communities, by greatly reducing the supply of available land for extractive activities, by precarizing the socio-environmental conditions of permanence and by also allowing the demarcation of urban perimeters in the agrarian space of some of these communities, thus enabling the possibility of charging high rates of Property and Urban Territorial Tax (IPTU) in some areas of these municipalities. Furthermore, the joint action of State and Capital has also put in place a major project for the exploitation of fossil fuels in the midst of the implementation of the Energy Park, which will enable the Construction of an Industrial Complex in the vicinity of the Port of Sergipe, greatly accentuating the socio-environmental vicissitudes already in place. materialized in the region. In this way, the regional planning of the State for road integration and tourist-real estate and industrial expansionon thenorth coast ofSergipereveals itselfas theproject ofafallacious integration, since in reality it results in the disguised disintegration of communities by inserting new and deleterious sociability in the agrarian space, producing the space according to the logic of the socio-metabolic expansion of capital, that is, from the socio-spatial segregation and the privateand excessive appropriation of nature. |
