Abstract: New cartographies: the objective of this article is to contribute to the analysis of economic and geopolitical processes by national and international agents. We seek to identify the cartographies of power and the movements that are rapidly altering territories. It also covers the actions of companies and corporations responsible for conflicts with social, ethnic, gender, and worker groups. This context reveals a climate of violence that tends to expand. The analysis and data are the result of research conducted in municipalities along the Cuiabá-Santarém Highway in the western state of Pará - BR-16. This is one of the most affected regions of the Amazon in terms of socioeconomic and environmental changes as a result of the implementation of large infrastructure projects - ports, roads, railways, and hydroelectric plants - to enable the export corridor for commodities and the expansion of agricultural and mining ventures.
