The objective this work is to understand the mediation actions -developed between social movements activists, rural workers and their adversaries- in the land occupations in the Northeast of Minas Gerais (Brazil) during the 1980s and 1990s. Interviews were conducted with some of the major figures in this process, as well as the analysis of written material produced by various organizations such as newspapers, booklets, pamphlets, official documents, etc. It is focused on the joints between some meanings produced by the groups involved, the dynamics of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of the relations of representation of rural workers as well as on the relations between local mobilization and institutional politics. It highlights the alliance and dispute relations between the major groups that performed the occupations -as well as the strong reactions of his opponents-, interactions that decisively influenced the development of the process studied.
