Reflexos jurídicos e sociais da imigração pomerana no Estado do Espírito Santo

Abstract

Introduction: The human being is finite. This finitude is made conscious through the temporality of the person’s body, soul or psyche. However, the human being is also infinite according to the perspective of the Judeo-Christian theology. The human being is complex and perplexing in the face of the relations in which the human being is involved, in the face of their anthropological characteristics as they relate to their cultural, spiritual and mental identity and which make up their identity status as an individual, who is associated to the environmental mutations which interfere in their physical structures and to the unexpected happenings of the immediate context. Involved in the webs of the psycho-social tissue of the human relations, it flows into an existential consequential paradox, fruit of a liquid and individualist society. It is common for us to question about the mysteriousness of existence. The cultures which incorporate each social group the subjects of which make up the natural habitat of these ways of confronting the basic needs, using the symbolic as a unit of social measurement and ordering, are historic constructions through which these groups create and recreate, being created in the same way, dynamically, the ties to the group as well as their valorizations always conditioned to the environment. Goal: the thesis has as its scope to seek to list some possible phenomenic reflections of the social-cultural transplantation of the Pomeranian people from Europe to the state of Espirito Santo, who left their habitat bringing with them their culture and their social ties, experiencing new realities and new cultures in Amerindian and slaveowner lands, and which welcomed them as a modal part of their economic, political, cultural and historic process of development. Method: Historic-systematic research of an exploratory character with an empirical-descriptive orientation. Results: The results of this research will deal with referrals to confront the negative consequences of the conceptualized social phenomenon, that is, the legal and social reflectivity of the Pomeranian immigration tied to the social-contractual precariousness between the Brazilian state and the German immigrants. Conclusion: It is observed that the social representation of the Pomeranian communities are referenced through the construction of an identity which is attributed and also self designated, dynamically supplemented in ties of belonging which are precarious – diminished presence of the state – with social-contractual effects marked largely by the collaborativity of the community segments when facing their concrete needs, connoting legal and social reflexes of the Pomeranian immigration with regard to the normative-protective setup of the current state of Espírito Santo.
