The social order of Apeú Salvador/Pará and the problem of 'traditional' and 'modern' in the Amazon region

The present paper aims at the understanding of the temporality of the inhabitants of Apeú Salvador/Viseu, Pará's village. In order to accomplish this, we apply the concepts of traditional and modern, performing an itinerary that describes the social organization of this population, in order to reach the elements that order their collective and, looking at their statute, capture the meanings and spaces of the collective as well as the individual. Finally, from the results of this itinerary, we conclude that the temporal structure of this village is modern and reveals the psyche produced by one of the infinite sub-conditions of the modernity.
