Abstract

We analyzed the fetish of sustainable development in particular the expansion of the electric sector in the Brazilian Amazon Region and the resistance of the social groups affected by the construction of hydroelectric plants. We highlight the advance of reactionary conservatism, functional to the neoliberal economic strategies that devastate the Amazon. We reaffirm the incompatibility of the logic of capitalist destruction with the way of life of any perspective that uses and defends the natural environment for survival and self-maintenance, and we seek to deepen the analysis of the critical professional culture in Social Work in its construction between the horizon of the State of Well-Being and the historical need for human emancipation, pointing out particular configurations in the contradictions in which the intervention dimension is inscribed and built in the electric sector in the Brazilian Amazon
