2021
Liana Mendonça Goñi | Jaime Morales Hernández
The aim of the article is to analyze the model of rural development in the district of Olhos D’Água, as well as the different actions and reactions, practices and discourses of farmers and family ranchers in the region of Olhos D’água. This is a case study, with a qualitative and exploratory approach. To this end, the research consists of the union of two methodological perspectives: actor-network ethnographic perspective Latour and Woolgar (1997), and a perspective oriented from Long's actors (2007). From the discursive and documentary analyzes, it was possible to emphasize how different agriculture, the different degrees of commercialization and how different rationalities and ways of life in the rural area of the region. At the end of the study, it is concluded that the solution to economic growth is hegemonic in all rural realities, discarding the potential of different social / productive configurations, improving and ecological locations in each territory. In the same characteristics of “backward” and “stagnant” in which family ranchers and family ranching were forged, there are empirical subsidies to think of strategies from these rationalities and ways of life.
