Özet: The present work, based on a critique of modernity and the exercise of state power, that is still based on exploitation, domination and colonization, aims to analyze the two facets of the State: at the same time it serves as an instrument of protection, it comes as a fundamental actor for the legitimation and permission of the implantation of extractive projects. The project of mining Minas-Rio, in the Serra do Espinhaço region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is quite representative of this ambiguous State figure. In this regard, I will analyze the socio-environmental transformations caused by the mining and some reflections of the logic that sustains the environmental licenses of the project.
