In this paper, I defend an account of how perceptual experience can bear rational relation to our empirical thought. In the first part, I elaborate two claims that are central for the justificational role of perceptual experience, namely, the claim that perception and belief share the same kind of content, and the claim that perception is independent from belief. At first sight, these claims seems not to be compatible, since the first one seems to require the truth of content conceptualism, while the second one seems to require its falsity. In the second part, based on Alva Noë's actionist theory of perception, I argue in favor of a less intellectualist interpretation of the first claim, uncommitted to content conceptualism, and then I show how it can be reconciled with the second claim. Finally, I explain how perception holds rational relationships with our empirical thought through the exercise of observational concepts. These concepts link what I propose to call ‘space of actions’ to the logical space of reasons.

Esse trabalho apresenta uma discussão metodológica de como apreender a heterogeneidade do rural paulista a partir da integração de dados dos Censos Agropecuário e Demográfico. O objetivo é explorar técnicas de análise multivariada e espacial que auxiliem na apreensão do rural como construção socioespacial, estruturado por fluxos que extrapolam a produção estritamente agropecuária e remetem a diferentes dinâmicas de redistribuição de população. O artigo está dividido em cinco partes principais. Na introdução, é explicitado a perspectiva teórica do trabalho. Em seguida, apresentam-se as variáveis utilizadas, o tratamento dado aos casos perdidos, avaliação das distribuições e correlações. Na terceira parte, recorre-se à análise fatorial como de reduzir o conjunto de indicadores iniciais em constructos fracamente correlacionados. No item quatro, os fatores criados são submetidos a uma análise classificatória de cluster que, na quinta e última parte, é interpretada espacialmente. A título de considerações finais, é reiterada a multiplicidade de formas com que o rural regional se conecta ao urbano local, de modo a reforçar a centralidade dos processos históricos na articulação de diferentes espaços rurais.

This paper focus on indigenous people in the municipality of Altamira, in the State of Pará, Brazil, emphasizing the presence of indigenous people in urban areas and especially in the city of Altamira. The purpose here is to understand the dynamics and movements of these populations in regard to the data produced about them and the data produced by them. For that, data from fieldwork are used, as well as the demographic censuses data of 2000 and 2010, produced by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, and also information from surveys produced because of the construction of the hydroelectric plant of Belo Monte to identify the indigenous people living in the city. The paper intends to capture the processes by which the indigenous population has passed and still passes, highlighting the threats posed by the Belo Monte dam construction and by political forces that have put this population at risk. The results point to a growing presence populations in urban areas, mainly from the Juruna, Kuruaya and Xipaya ethnicities who once seemed to have decreased significantly, but underwent to a demographic recovery process in the city, associated with a political movement pivot around their ethnic identity since the 1990's.
