Territórios da agroecologia nas regiões centro-sul e oriental paranaenses: formações discursivas, redes e ciberespaço

Abstract

Understanding how agroecology is understood, whether in its scientific, practical or technological aspect is important as a political reflection of the world and national scenario. With this research we seek to understand how the agroecological networks are constituted in the central-south eastern region of Paraná, That is, we glimpse how the process of territorialization of agroecological projects and discourses engendered by various social actors in the regional context occurs, as well as their discursive practices and rationalities (goals and purposes) evidenced in the territories that form around this phenomenon. In methodological terms, we made a survey of articles of Brazilian geography to understand such production, as well as we started for a theoretical approach based on three authors and their respective works, being: 'Discursive Formation' by Michel Foucault (2008), from 'Ecology of Knowledge' by Boaventura de Souza Santos (2018) and 'Actor-Network Theory' by Bruno Latour and Michel Callon (2012), finally, from the application of 2 online forms, we were able to better know the profile of farmers and researchers linked to NEA’s, Our study evidenced, from the questions presented, as has been given the speeches of public institutions, market sectors, academia and social organizations, aiming to identify the network of actors that seek to appropriateAgroecology as an object of knowledge and, therefore, power. As a result, we found a profile in the field that is men between 40 and 60 years old, who work in network and already act in agroecology an average of 10 years, already in relation to NEA’s, the profile is female, also in the same age group and with time of action. With this, we conclude that Agroecology is a network, being an object of dispute by different actors, with different objectives, but in a critical and relational perspective understand the complexity and multiple possibility to think and act in Agroecology.
