Abstract: This article analyzes the struggle for land and territory of the Guarani and Kaiowá peoples and of agribusiness farmers on the border between Brazil and Paraguay. This process results from the territorialization of agribusiness through a privatist logic of spoliation and deterritorialization of which the main victims are the Guarani and Kaiowá peoples who occupied their traditional territories. In this struggle, agribusiness farmers build hegemonic multi/transterritoriality through the corporate use of articulated territories on both sides of the border. The Guarani and Kaiowá peoples elaborate a subaltern multi/transterritoriality as a geostrategy of struggle and resistance for the demarcation of traditional territories.
